Tech Soundsystems 610 XT. It is no longer made and was the original version of the ND 610, which was built to replace this model but to a lesser specification. The cab was part of Tech's NeoDynamic range, it uses neodynium magnets in the construction of its speakers, as opposed to conventional ferrite, the purpose of this is to decrease weight and when using multiple drivers, 6×10” speakers in this case, the result is a worthwhile reduction in its over all weight. The weight of the cab suprises all who lift it, at 30 kgs (66 lbs) it is a true lightweight but its performance is anything but. As mentioned it comes equipped with 6×10” speakers with a total impeadence of 6 ohms, the cab can handle an impressive 2100 watts, so to get the best from this cab you will need a lot of power. It also has an adjustable tweeter which is quite different to others in that it has settings for its operation, as oppossed to a volume control, let me explain. There are Hard Attack and Soft Attack settings and an off position. In Soft Attack, there are high, mid and low settings, in Hard Attack, there are high and mid settings all of these settings are accessed by a knob which is found on a control plate, which also includes two Speakon input and output sockets and a 1/4” jack socket which can accept a footswitch which can be used to switch the tweeter off completely. The difference between the tweeter settings is staggering, ranging from super-agressive slap tones in High Hard Attack, to mellow Dub tones when the tweeter is turned off. The cab is quite tall 41” and here is where the cab is let down, not by its height but by the placement of its side handles. They are 18 1/2” from the top of the cab making it quite difficult to pick up as your arms are almost fully stretched out when trying to pick it up. With the side handles there is also a recessed bar at the back of the cab with which to tilt it back on its excellent and sturdy rollers, this feature is called tilt and roll. The cab is finished in a dark grey carpet which is expertly applied, metal corners match the chrome detail on the perforated steel protective grill which has a very stylish curved profile, which is supported with a brace, the effect is one of elegance on such a tall, slim cab. The speakers are arranged in offset pairs, with the left speaker dropped to the centre of the right speakers cone, this reduces the overall width of the cab and with the tweeter in the top left corner and a large port in the bottom right corner finishes the stunning design of a cab that not only sounds amazing but is designed and built to without compromise.
