Innovative Hybrid Amplifier Sets This PA Speaker Apart

The PreSonus Air10 active PA speaker is compact and lightweight, but it produces extended lows and natural-sounding highs. A 10" woofer and 1" tweeter are powered by 1,200 watts delivered by an innovative Class D/Class AB hybrid amplifier. The Class D efficiently drives the Air10's low end, while the Class AB yields smooth, natural high-frequency response. Built-in presets for front of house, wedge placement, music playback, enhanced low end, and improved speech intelligibility make common applications a piece of cake. Onboard EQ controls tailor the Air10 to your room. Appreciated by Sweetwater's mobile DJs and installation engineers, the PreSonus Air10 active PA speaker delivers excellent performance in a modestly-sized package.

For best results, keep those amps separated

A 10" speaker cone moves a lot of air, so the amplifier driving it has got to be beefy. The Air10's Class D amp is up to the task, sending up to 900 dedicated low-end watts through the 2" voice coil for rich, powerful bass. The Air10 features a crossover set at 2.2kHz, leaving the 1" HF compression driver free to make the most of its 300W — handling only the highest frequencies. The result is optimal sound quality that Sweetwater live sound gurus were quick to appreciate.

DSP is the answer to your mixing challenges

Want to simplify your life? Presonus has your "Easy" button. The Air10 employs simple, user-friendly signal processing accessible through a bright LCD display on the rear panel. With its great-sounding presets, you can tailor the AIR10’s response for front-of-house, monitor wedge, and music playback/DJ applications. You can also press a button to enhance bass response, generate a warmer audio vibe, and optimize the speaker's parameters for the human voice/public address. with +/- 10dB bass and trebel EQ and location presets for stand or bracket mounting or flown installations, the Presonus Air10 delivers simple solutions to all your live mixing problems.

Keep your input options open

The most useful pieces of gear are often the ones that are the most flexible. The Presonus Air10 full-range loudspeaker lets you use a variety of input sources, thanks to its multiple connector formats. Each of its two combo XLR mic/TRS line inputs has a Class A microphone preamp, as well as gain control. The 1/8” aux in facilitates use with mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, and when you combine these signals using the AIR10’s internal mixer, the balanced XLR Mix output lets you send the signals to other AIR-series speakers.

Best for the money that I have heard

I needed a pair of small powered speakers to provide three things: 1. Using them as floor monitors on large gigs 2. Using them as main speakers for smaller gigs 3. Wedding ceremony PA . After trying three different brands, I felt like the Presonus was the best sound for the price. Also the weight of these is amazing for how loud they get. I've used QSC and JBL in the past but these have been great in every application my band has used them with. Thanks for Sweetwater's great service in helping me choose the Air10.

These speakers rip

I've used them as mains, monitors, DJ/music playback, FRFR speaker for guitar modeler... they kick out the jams. Loud, clear, lightweight, reliable.
For that price, they can't be beat.

Incredible.

I am an event DJ and use this mainly for wedding ceremonies and anytime I need to have a speaker away from my main set up. This does the job real well. The AUX input on the back is a life saver too. Such full sound in such a small speaker. Would highly recommend.

Great Front of House Speakers

After 3 months of use I'm very happy with these. I read way too many reviews trying to decide which powered 10" speakers to buy. There are a lot of good options. I narrowed it down to these and QSC K10s because I wanted the tilt angle for pole mounting. I read a helpful article on vertical loudspeaker positions for PA on astralsound website. By fully extending my Ultimate speaker stands and tilting the Air 10s down I get a much more even sound level for audiences. The tilt angle is a very well designed push button release, so I don't need to lift the speakers off the stands to switch between straight and down tilt.
I use them in my rehearsal studio and for mobile Dj gigs. They work great for both. More than enough sound for small-medium rooms and crowds of 50-100 people. I pair them with a powered sub. They have a tight punchy bass, but I need sub bass for dance floors.
I have not had a chance to A/B them with QSC K10s, but they sound equal or better than the K10s I have heard at countless shows and small venues. Light, great warranty, I would buy again if I need a backup PA.

Sweetwater and PreSonus go way back, and that makes a lot of sense. Like Sweetwater, PreSonus is largely staffed by active musicians, songwriters, live sound techs, and engineers, and like Sweetwater, their culture shows up in everything they do. Early on, PreSonus broke ground by offering super-affordable audio interfaces that brought quality recording to home studio engineers everywhere. In the following years, we've been with them as they introduced a powerful, artist-friendly DAW, groundbreaking digital mixers, and more - all products we at Sweetwater use ourselves. One thing that's never changed, even as PreSonus has branched out into new territory, is that they've always done everything possible to provide you with the best value, and we're proud to stand by their products.
