HD Series

DEFINE
YOUR LIVE SOUND

HD Series loudspeakers deliver unmatched power and unparalleled sound quality in designs that are not only rugged and user-friendly... they are an extremely cost-effective solution for professional applications. With touring-grade all-wood cabinets and powerful custom designed amplifiers, HD loudspeakers create high-definition sound that was previously only found in high-end stadium touring systems.

ELEVATE

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.

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.
