Mackie announces the all-new flagship DRM Professional Powered Loudspeakers, featuring up to 2300W of power, cutting-edge DSP, and built-in full color displays. Marketed for mobile DJs, bands, install, houses of worship, rental systems, and more, they are available in the 1600W 12" DRM212, 1600W 15" DRM215, 2300W 15" 3-Way DRM315, 2000W 12" DRM12A Array, and 2000W 18" DRM18S Subwoofer - plus all models are available in passive boxes.
DRM Series Professional Powered Loudspeakers deliver up to 2300W via Class-D amplifiers with next-gen system protection. Universal power supplies (100-240V) feature Power Factor Correction technology designed to regulate incoming voltage for peak performance even with unstable AC power.
Mackie's Advanced Impulse DSP module offers precision crossovers, transducer time-alignment, and meticulously tuned FIR filters to overcome inherent physical attributes that can contribute to poor sound, especially at high SPL. The result is punchy sound typically experienced with touring systems.
"Advanced Impulse DSP is the result of countless hours of testing, tuning, and comparing," says Matt Redmon, Mackie Director of Product Marketing. "It's almost like the speakers disappear and you get an incredibly immersive listening experience, even at wall-shaking levels."
The DRM Control Dashboard features a high-contrast, full-color display on the back panel for quick and easy setup. With single knob control, users can navigate settings quickly. Full-range models offer 3-band parametric EQ, venue specific voicing modes, alignment delay, user presets, and system lock. The subwoofer features a variable crossover, cardioid mode, and more.
"Mackie has always made intuitive control and ease-of-use a top priority," says Redmon. "We needed a display that was easy to read and always shows you what is important at a glance. DRM Control Dashboard was the answer."
Custom high-sensitivity woofers and titanium diaphragm compression drivers housed in braced plywood cabinets are designed for consistent performance in the most demanding applications. On the exterior, each DRM is covered in a touring-grade textured coating. The ported design of DRM cabinets allows for punchy, responsive bass while simultaneously helping to keep the amplifier cool.
DRM Series Loudspeakers offer M10 flypoints, dual angle pole mounts, and available line array configurations for maximum versatility. Both the DRM212 and DRM215 feature angled cabinet designs to allow for use as high-powered floor monitors.
While the DRM Series is designed for DJs, bands, clubs, and rental systems, it also offers solutions for production and install applications. Up to 4 DRM12A cabinets plus 2 DRM18S subwoofers can be installed together for venues such as houses of worship. For customers that require passive loudspeakers, every DRM Series model is available as a passive version. Available in select countries, our all-new MX Series Professional Power Amplifiers work with DRM Series Passive Loudspeakers and can be combined with an SP260 Loudspeaker Processor.
"DRM Series Loudspeakers are truly the best loudspeakers we've ever designed," remarks Redmon. "But don't take my word for it, give them a listen. You really need to hear it to believe it."
