Mackie S410s Quad 10" Speaker, PA Loudspeaker, Subwoofer
High-Impact Tour Sound Technology: Now Available in a Compact, Affordable Design
Top-flight sound companies provide high-output, high-quality sound to large audiences all over the world, on a daily basis. They have toor they're out of business. That's why they employ experts to design and tune their systems and use arrayable cabinets loaded with multiple drivers. Systems that feature large, wide-dispersion horns, and subwoofer stacksall configured to match the requirements of each venue.
Mackie believes that smaller venues, including clubs and houses of worship, also deserve high-quality, affordable sound. That's why we collaborated with the loudspeaker design gurus at EAW and came up with a solution the Mackie S400 Series Precision Passive Loudspeakers with Tetrad Driver Alignment Technology.
Ask any bass player and they'll tell you 10" speakers offer quicker attack (transient) response than a single 15" or 18". In our never-ending quest for the ultimate subwoofer, we turned to the gurus at Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW), who were highly instrumental in the design of our new S400 Series loudspeakers. This new design philosophy, which employs multiple smaller drivers versus a single 15" or 18", is carried forward in the Mackie S400 Series subwoofer. We replaced the single 18" found in most small venue sub cabinets with four 10" transducers, creating the Mackie S410s Subwooferthe perfect companion to the Mackie S408 full-range loudspeaker. This new configuration translates into a punchy, tighter bass pattern, and lots of it!
BIGGER AIR MOTOR
Let's look at a typical subwoofer; the 18" speaker offers extremely slow transient response, and requires a massive amount of power to get the job done. We threw out the 18" speaker in favor of four 10" drivers, which provide substantially more surface area than the 18-incher, creating ample punch and tight, more focused low-end. And four 10" speakers are much more efficient. More surface area = more air movement = more thump!
INTEGRATED 180Hz LOW PASS FILTER
Another great feature within the S410s is the state-of-the-art 180Hz low pass filter. This eliminates the need for an external crossover* when the Mackie S410s Precision Passive Subwoofer is used in conjunction with the S408 Precision Passive 2-Way Loudspeaker. Just connect a power amp via the Speakon jack on the rear of the Mackie S410s. Then connect the S408 to the remaining jack and voil, you now have a superior passive 3-way system.
*Although an external crossover is not necessary, using one would mean better system efficiency.
POWER HANDLING
Due to its extremely efficient design, the Mackie S410s can be driven by even the smallest of power amplifiers. But to showcase its full potential, strap-on your beefiest amp (maybe one of our new M-Series High-Efficiency Power Amps) and climb to a new level of sound quality and professional capability. Pair the Mackie S410s with the Mackie S408 and prepare to succumb to musical bliss!
