Aguilar · amplifier
The Aguilar SL110 Fawn Limited is a compact, lightweight bass speaker cabinet housing a single 10-inch neodymium driver, part of Aguilar's Super Light cabinet series. The neodymium magnet reduces weight significantly compared to ceramic equivalents while maintaining sensitivity and frequency response, making the SL110 one of the most portable professional bass cabinets available. It is designed for articulate, mid-forward bass reproduction and pairs especially well with Aguilar's Tone Hammer amp heads. The Fawn Limited is a special limited-edition finish release of the standard SL110.
