YOUR EXPERIENCE
HD Series Loudspeakers deliver class-leading power, unmatched clarity and extreme flexibility from Class-D Fast Recovery™ amplification which produces up to 1800W of peak system power. High-Definition Audio Processing re-defines powered loudspeakers by implementing Mackie’s patented acoustic correction processing for an experience that is unrivaled. System tuning and custom transducer design by EAW ensures an optimized system that sounds great every time.
Features
Elevate Your Experience to True High-Definition Performance
POWER
Maximize Your Output
Other amplifiers can “latch” when pushed to clipping, leading to distorted audio, but Fast Recovery™ amplification reacts instantly to transients, drastically reducing the time it takes for the amp to recover, ensuring clean audio.
CLARITY
Define the Experience
High-Definition Audio Processing utilizes Mackie’s patented acoustic correction and driver time-alignment technology with precision tuned crossovers delivering a true high-definition experience never before heard from professional powered loudspeakers.
CUSTOMIZE
Tailor Your Tone
For added flexibility, we have included a user-adjustable 3-band EQ on the rear panel of every HD Series loudspeaker. This allows you to customize the speaker for the task at hand.
ROBUST
Fit and Finish
The 15mm thick birch plywood cabinets are extremely rugged, with substantial internal bracing and a coating of durable, textured black paint. A cold-rolled, powder-coated steel grill provides a sleek, modern look that is designed to blend into the environment.
SERIES Line-Up
The professional HD line features a wide range of full-range boxes and two powerful subwoofers to complete your HD system
