Danley J6-42 - ranked #36 of 41 10-Inch PA Speakers · Editor's rating 3.2/5

#36 Danley J6-42 Passive eBay

Pros: Enormously loud, specified at 154dB peak, with a narrow 40 by 20 degree pattern for stadiums and long throws. Vendor measurements show deep bass for a single box (about 24Hz at -10dB) and scores of 3.58 on its own and 4.49 with an ideal subwoofer. Measured bass extension of 23.6Hz (-3dB).

Cons: The very narrow pattern gives uneven directivity (4.43dB variation in the directivity index) and a rough predicted in-room response (0.30 smoothness). At 227kg it needs engineered rigging, and it is sold through dealers with no published price.
