INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the Mackie S410s sound reinforcement subwoofer.

The S410s is a professional passive subwoofer, designed to complement our professional line of passive and active loudspeakers, powered mixers, and power am- plifiers. It is capable of extremely high sound-pressure levels, and designed to give you the best performance of any subwoofer in its class and price range.

The S410s features four 10-inch high-power low- frequency woofers in a bass-reflex designed cabinet. Using four smaller drivers rather than one large 15" driver has several advantages.

Smaller drivers provide better transient response for a “punchier” sound.

Four 10" drivers provide more surface area than a single 15” driver to move more air.

The quad-driver configuration provides better power handling and improved efficiency over a single 15" driver.

The woofers incoporate technology used in large-format touring systems and are virtually indestructible.

Connecting and setting up the S410s is a breeze. It accepts a speaker-level signal via a Neutrik Speakon® connector and has a second Speakon connector for daisy -chaining the signal to another speaker. The built-in 180 Hz low-pass filter allows you to connect a full-range signal directly to the input of the subwoofer.

The cabinet is constructed using 18 mm multi-layer birch plywood. A carrying handle is integrated into each side for easy loading and transport, and optional casters can be installed on the back of the cabinet for even easier transport.
