This is a solid perfomer for wide dispersion, highly reverberant environments.

It provides good clean mids and highs particularly in vocal reproduction.

Needs to be teamed with the S410s for full range performances.

They work well at low volume but only start to kick in when you drive them a little harder.

These are heavy but well balanced on the handles.

They have a wide variety of mounting and flying options.

The theory is that 4 8" speakers will respond better and push more air than a single 15" thumper. Designed and tuned by EAW.

These boxes are excellent for the money. They do a great job in some difficult environments. I've used them in Gyms and highly reverb outside 'courtyards' with lots of reflective surfaces and been very happy with the projection/

You could spend a lot more money and not get great improvement in sound quality and durability.
