INTRODUCTION
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 dai-
sy-chaining the signal to another speaker. The built-in
180 Hz low-pass fi lter 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.
Thank you for choosing the Mackie S410s sound rein-
force ment subwoofer.
The S410s is a professional passive subwoofer, de-
signed to complement our professional line of passive
and active loudspeakers, powered mixers, and power am-
plifi ers. 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-refl ex 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 confi guration provides better
power handling and improved effi ciency over a
single 15" driver.
