Officially we rate our products (and guarantee operation) down to 0 C. We rigorously torture them down at these levels in unimaginable ways to make sure they work perfectly during the cold and after.

But of course you are asking about -10 C. While we haven't officially fully tested down to those levels I am confident you won't have any problems. The speakers will certainly be fine. The powerstand and electronics will heat up quickly to above 0 C internally and be fine.

If you waned to be extra cautious, when you get to the gig just plug in the L1's and turn them on. Let them run with no sound ('idle') for a few minutes. As I was saying, this will bump the internal electronics temperature up to above 0 C.
