Barefaced Audio Unveils the Eight 10

[TalkBass]

Barefaced Audio claim their new Eight 10 is the loudest and deepest bass cab you can buy!

The British manufacturer's newest cab uses the same unique 10CR250 driver as their tiny One 10 cab released last month - the lightest cab on the market to keep up with a drummer. But with eight of these drivers coupled together for 2000W power handling, 104dB sensitivity and max SPL approaching 140dB, the Barefaced Eight 10 is powerful enough to roar through the densest wall of guitars and drums in the heaviest bands. Despite its terrifying loudness, it only weighs 36kg (79lbs), less than most 4x10" cabs.

Barefaced CEO Alex Claber commented: "It's all about tone. Remember the best 'fridge' you've ever played through? Add some treble clarity and enough bass potential to handle dub outdoors. Improve the dispersion so everyone in the venue hears your true tone. Halve the weight. And if you needed two fridges before, you only need one Eight 10 to get your sound at the volume you need."

Man, that's cool.
$2500 is way out of my league though.

 

[CatSquare]

Ooh mah gawd what a brute. Better upgrade that woodshed to a house of bricks before plugging that baby in.

 

[Bassmann79]

I'd like to hear one

 

[DirtyDuke]

And ordered!!!!! This will be a beast with with the Verellen Meatsmoke

 

[AdamR]

8-lbs ? Thats lighter than my 412. Want. But at $2500 its not likely.

 

[OldCityBassman]

Only 3 lbs heavier than my Heritage 410! I want one.

 

[Hoss Groovealot]

I would so love this and not having to worry about blowing speakers to play really loud.

 

[FrenchBassQC]

Mass destruction weapon category I would say.

Barefaced are conservative compared to many others' sensitivity ratings. I found that my old 4x10 that was rated at 102db was not as loud as my Barefaced Compact rated at 99db. A Barefaced rated 104db is going to be insanely loud. Might be a good match for someone wanting to hear their V4 or similar 100 watt or so tube head at a large show. You'd be louder than a trad SVT stack- trust me.

 

[Shaerah56]

Want this so much. Not happening any time soon though. Shipping here would be almost as much as the cab. Would love to play through one though.

 

[Hoss Groovealot]

I think it says price includes shipping to US. Doesn't it?

 

[Hoss Groovealot]

Yeah, coppied from their page: USA = $2499 (inc. shipping).

I assume "inc" means "including" since "incorporated" wouldn't make sense here.

My L610 costs 1/2 the price but is 200 watts less A better deal IMO.
