Overview
sb210aw white High-Output Multi-Use All-Weather Loudspeaker — Theory Professional
The Theory Audio Design sb210aw is a very high-output, all-weather loudspeaker engineered for luxury outdoor entertainment, large residential spaces and demanding commercial audio installations. Combining dual 10-inch carbon-fiber woofers with a 6.5-inch coaxial midrange and high-frequency driver, it delivers powerful, wide-bandwidth sound from an exceptionally slim architectural enclosure.
With up to 130 dB peak SPL, broad 125-degree conical coverage and selectable 4-ohm or 70V/100V operation, the sb210aw is designed for applications ranging from private outdoor entertainment areas to restaurants, hotels, marine environments and large commercial venues. Its weather-resistant aluminum construction, stainless-steel grille and versatile mounting system allow substantial acoustic performance without the bulk of a conventional high-output loudspeaker.
Dual 10-Inch Woofers and Coaxial Driver Technology
The sb210aw features two 10-inch Theory carbon-fiber low-frequency drivers paired with a 6.5-inch coaxial driver incorporating a carbon-fiber midrange and a 1.4-inch AdvancedPoly compression driver.
This three-driver architecture combines substantial low-frequency output with the midrange clarity and high-frequency dispersion required for demanding foreground music and entertainment applications.
Its specified frequency response extends from 53 Hz to 23 kHz (-6 dB), while 800 watts of continuous power handling and 1,600 watts of peak power handling provide substantial dynamic capability. The sb210aw can achieve up to 130 dB peak SPL at one meter when operated with appropriate Theory amplification and DSP processing.
Wide, Consistent 125-Degree Coverage
The sb210aw delivers 125-degree conical coverage, extending to 140 degrees at -12 dB at 12 kHz. Its matched horizontal and vertical dispersion allows the loudspeaker to be installed in either portrait or landscape orientation while maintaining consistent coverage.
This flexibility makes it suitable for wide outdoor seating areas, expansive patios, large entertainment spaces and installations alongside architectural video walls.
Theory's published Klippel measurements demonstrate smooth off-axis response and consistent dispersion, supporting accurate reproduction across a broad listening area rather than concentrating sound within a narrow listening position.
All-Weather Architectural Construction
The sb210aw features a powder-coated extruded and machined aluminum enclosure with a perforated stainless-steel grille. Its watertight speaker cable entry and included waterproof terminal cover are designed for installations exposed to outdoor conditions.
At just 4.9 inches deep, the enclosure provides an unusually slim profile for a loudspeaker incorporating dual 10-inch woofers. Available in black or white, it integrates into contemporary residential architecture, covered patios, outdoor entertainment areas and commercial environments.
Versatile Mounting and Installation
Theory's VersaSlot mounting system incorporates two full-height T-slots with four M6 captive nuts, providing flexibility for a variety of mounting configurations.
Included Z-Clip brackets support flat wall mounting with a total installed depth of just 5.1 inches. An optional sb210aw yoke bracket provides additional installation flexibility, while integrated mounting patterns accommodate selected third-party wall and ceiling mounts.
The loudspeaker's symmetrical conical coverage allows vertical or horizontal installation without changing its intended dispersion characteristics.
Selectable 4-Ohm and 70V/100V Operation
The sb210aw supports conventional 4-ohm amplification and selectable 70V/100V distributed audio operation.
Integrated transformer taps provide 150W, 75W and 37.5W settings, plus an 18W setting for 70V systems. This flexibility allows the loudspeaker to be incorporated into both dedicated high-output audio systems and larger distributed commercial installations.
The sb210aw requires compatible Theory loudspeaker controller amplification with model-specific Theory-certified DSP processing.
