The Mackie S408 Precision Passive 2-Way Loudspeaker with Tetrad provides high output and high-quality sound worthy of large audiences yet suitable for smaller, more intimate settings.
Tetrad Driver Alignment Technology uses four low-frequency drivers which respond to transient attacks faster than a single woofer. They also move a larger column of air so you get a more dynamic bass sound. Tetrad also uses a big horn assembly to better control the midrange signals and stabilize them through the crossover for a superior sonic image.
Tetrad Technology
With four 8" LF drivers in Tetrad's unique alignment, you get wide low-frequency dispersion and enhanced transient response.
HF Driver
With a 1" exit HF driver attached to an oversized 75 x 40° horn you get amazing coverage and high-frequency definition. And, as a bonus, with two vertically arrayed enclosures you get full 150° coverage.
Application Alternatives
Set up this loudspeaker in a large variety of ways to get the most out of your situation. Pole mount the speaker on almost any speaker stand, take advantage of the Symmetrical Trapezoidal design for monitor wedge applications, stack them atop S410s Precision Passive Subwoofer or fly your loudspeakers both horizontally and vertically via 12 integrated 3/8" threaded inserts.
