Presonus AIR 10 - active two-way speaker that delivers a rich low-end sound with balanced mid-highs. Amplified by class D/AB amplifiers, and features easy-to-use digital control functions. The class D amplifier powers the 10" low-frequency driver, and the class AB amplifier drives the 1" high-frequency tweeter, resulting in an SPL of 121 dB, with a clean and balanced sound in the range of 66 Hz -20 kHz. The speaker is equipped with a digital sound processor, which allows for calibration at the touch of a button, using the speaker as a monitor, front PA, DJ, or speech.
Additionally, the treble and bass controls allow you to boost or cut by 10 dB, to compensate for room anomalies where these speakers are used. It offers mounting options on a stand, on the floor, suspended, or as a front PA. It features 2 combo XLR/TRS inputs, and a summed balanced output. Due to the specifications, flexibility, and quality of these speakers, they can be used in both fixed installations and mobile setups.

I have been using them for over 3 years in my DJ setup with the Presonus system consisting of AIR 18S and AIR 15. Excellent for enhancing the sound and directing it outside the dance floor.
I kept visiting the store thinking about the Ev zlx10 or Dynacord a112, being skeptical about the suggestions I received regarding Presonus. After 2 months of intensive use at parties, I can say I couldn't have chosen anything better for this price. They are very clear, with well-defined mids and highs thanks to the AB amplification, even the bass sounds good for such a speaker.
It is far ahead of the competition and I am fully satisfied with my choice.
I am very satisfied with the quality of these speakers. I use them (2 pieces) in a room of about 100-110 sqm plus a 40 sqm balcony. The sound is clean, clear, balanced, powerful, pleasant. They also have a very nice and strong bass.
I find them better than other speakers in the same category and with a similar price.
The only downside I found is a background noise that is higher than with other speakers.
But overall, they are very good.
