Brand
MARK BASS
Dominate the stage and extract maximum power from your amplifier with the Markbass Standard 104HR 4-Ohm Bass Speaker Cabinet. Specifically engineered to draw the full wattage output from your high-performance bass head without needing an extension cabinet, this professional 4x10-inch enclosure handles a massive 800 watts RMS. Featuring an innovative rear-tuned ported design, it delivers an incredibly punchy, controlled, and deeply resonant low end that acts as the perfect anchor for heavy live mixes. Weighing just 21.9 kg, it stands as one of the lightest and most compact 4x10 cabinets in its class, offering touring musicians a road-ready powerhouse that streamlines load-in and transport.
The Maximum Power Stage Titan: Markbass Standard 104HR 4-Ohm Bass Cabinet
For touring professionals, high-profile session players, and weekend warriors alike, the 4x10" speaker configuration has long been recognized as the undisputed king of the stage. However, traditional 4x10" enclosures are notorious for being brutally heavy, back-breaking boxes that require multiple people to haul. The Markbass Standard 104HR completely rewrites this narrative. Delivering a monumental 800 watts of raw power handling in an incredibly lightweight frame, this professional front-ported cabinet offers the legendary, chest-thumping low-end depth and razor-sharp mid-range projection that Markbass is celebrated for worldwide. This specific 4-Ohm version is engineered to instantly draw the absolute maximum wattage out of your amplifier head from a single enclosure, making it the definitive choice for unmatched standalone volume and punch.
The 4-Ohm Advantage: Extract Every Watt from a Standalone Head
The defining performance benefit of this specific Standard 104HR cabinet is its 4-Ohm internal system impedance. Most modern professional solid-state and digital amplifier heads (such as the Markbass Little Mark IV or Little Mark Ninja) require a total 4-Ohm load to unlock their full rated output power. If you connect a standard 8-Ohm cabinet, your head will only deliver roughly half of its potential volume. By deploying this 4-Ohm powerhouse enclosure as a standalone rig, you drop the system impedance to the head's optimum sweet spot—instantly unleashing its full, chest-thumping power and dynamic headroom without needing to carry a second speaker cabinet to the gig.
The Neodymium Revolution: Massive Punch without the Mass
The standout innovation behind the Standard 104HR is its array of four 10-inch Markbass Ultra-Light Neodymium Custom speakers. Traditional heavy ceramic magnets add an immense amount of dead weight and possess a slower kinetic response. By utilizing ultra-premium neodymium magnets, Markbass engineers succeeded in bringing the total weight of this massive 4x10" enclosure down to an astonishingly manageable 21.9 kg (48.28 lbs). Furthermore, neodymium reacts significantly faster to sudden signal transients, ensuring that rapid fingerstyle runs, intricate pick passages, and aggressive percussive slaps retain absolute, uncompressed definition across every inch of the stage.
Explosive Low-End Tracking via Front-Ported Bass Reflex
Cabinet venting layout plays a critical role in how your low-end frequencies interact with a live room. While rear-ported cabinets rely on nearby walls to reflect their bass energy, the Standard 104HR features a highly optimized front-ported bass reflex system. This smart structural engineering throws your deep sub-bass frequencies and foundational punch directly out into the audience, resulting in an exceptionally tight, focused, and immediate low-frequency tracking. Your lowest register—especially when handling the low-B string on active 5- and 6-string bass guitars—hits with absolute authority and physical weight, completely free of muddy or loose acoustic masking.
Studio-Grade Clarity with the 1" Compression Driver Tweeter
To perfectly balance the massive, authoritative mid-range growl and deep cushion of the four 10-inch custom woofers, the Standard 104HR incorporates a premium 1-inch compression driver tweeter paired with a custom horn. This high-end high-frequency driver adds a stunning, glassy top-end shimmer that emphasizes modern slap-and-pop accents, picking transients, and delicate fingerboard harmonics. For maximum flexibility, the side of the cabinet features a continuous, variable tweeter level control dial, allowing you to seamlessly blend the high-frequency presence to match a bright modern slap style, a balanced fingerstyle mix, or roll it back entirely for a dark, vintage passive tone.
Unyielding Road-Ready Durability
The Standard 104HR is meticulously built to withstand the punishing realities of constant touring. The cabinet is wrapped in a rugged, heavy-duty black carpet covering, reinforced with protective high-impact corner guards, and fitted with deep, ergonomically balanced recessed side carry handles that make lifting entirely painless. It features ultra-reliable speakON combo input connections on the rear panel to guarantee a rock-solid, secure signal transfer from your amplifier head under heavy vibration.
