The Ceramic 2×10 — A Single-Cabinet Working Rig
The 2B10 is a ceramic-loaded 2×10 cabinet engineered to function as a complete single-cabinet rig — and equally well as the foundation of a stacked configuration. Designed and built in California, the 2B10 features two 10-inch ceramic-magnet woofers paired with a 1.4-inch compression driver, voiced and braced for a full, articulate sound that doesn't require a second cabinet to feel complete.
Trusted by touring bassists who value the balance of portability and authority, the 2B10 delivers 500 watts RMS at 99 dB sensitivity through a 45 Hz–18 kHz bandwidth that covers the full range of bass guitar with confidence. Whether running solo through a Bi500 Di Mark III for theater and studio dates, or stacked alongside a second 2B10 for a 4×10-equivalent rig, the cabinet performs at the same standard.
What it does
Two 10-inch ceramic-magnet woofers, one 1.4-inch compression driver, calibrated Baltic birch enclosure with extensive internal cross-bracing — the 2B10 is engineered to behave as a complete acoustic unit at any volume. The same Gig Armor™ Textured Black finish, 18-AWG steel grill, and serviceable hardware extend across the full Bass Instinct Series.
“With the 2B10, we wanted a cabinet that didn't depend on being stacked. A lot of working bassists carry a single cabinet for most of the work they do — that's the rig that gets them to the studio, to the theater pit, to the small club. The 2B10 is voiced to deliver a full sound on its own. When a player adds a second 2B10 for a larger venue, the result is a stacked rig where each cabinet carries its share.” — Mike Lera, Head of Engineering & Design

In use
The 2B10 is the working bassist's cabinet of choice for studio sessions, theater orchestra pits, club stages, and medium-format venues. Pair with the Bi500 Di Mark III for a complete portable rig, or stack a second 2B10 (matching impedance) for a 4×10-equivalent configuration when the venue demands it. For five-driver setups with extended low-end response, pair with a 1B15 Ceramic.
