Mackie DLM12S 12" Active PA Subwoofer

Full Description

Innovation

It's what drives the industry. It provides solutions, brings down barriers, and creates new opportunities. Meet the Mackie DLM12S - a compact subwoofer with a deceptively huge sound.

With its unique, easy-to-handle design, the DLM12S delivers a thunderous low-end with meticulous attention to detail. The thump of a kick drum, the pluck of a bass string, and the infectious, creamy low-end warmth of a synthesizer. Every low frequency is reproduced with exceptional clarity and depth, ranging all the way down to 35Hz.

When it comes to refining your sound and system, you have plenty of options. The DLM12S is fitted with a total of six XLR connectors. Hook up additional subwoofers, side fills, and more with the two full-range outputs, or connect your full-range loudspeakers with two high-pass outputs.

It doesn't stop there either. The DLM12S boasts Mackie's intuitive one-tough DLP Digital Processor with a bright OLED screen. Combined with a variable digital crossover, optimising your DLM12S for use with any loudspeaker is simple. Plus, handy presets for use with DLM and SRM full-range loudspeakers gives you instant optimisation right out of the box.

Premium power

All that power. It's a lot to handle. But for the DLM12S? It's effortless.

Make sure that everybody can hear your sound. Turn up the volume, and let 2000W of Class-D power flood your venue. It may be compact, but the DLM12S packs a serious punch. And there's enough headroom to take it even further without having to worry about distortion.

Any heat generated by the amp is dispersed effectively, keeping things cool and running smoothly. And when things start to reach their limitations, intelligent protection circuitry and Mackie's Smart Protect DSP keeps everything in check. Peak/RMS limiting, and PSU/amplifier thermal protection ensure that no matter how often you're out on the road, you can rely on your system night after night.

Phenomenal flexibility

It's never fun having to heave huge, heavy cabinets up flights of stairs, on to stages, and on to the top of stands. It takes the enjoyment away from doing what you do best. Well, you don't have to do that anymore. Everything you need to pump out that signature sound has been engineered with precision to fit in an ultra-lightweight and compact 15mm poplar enclosure.

The DLM12S is the perfect choice for mobile performers. It's easy to carry, maneuver, and position. From the moment you carry it inside, to setting up and taking it down, and putting it back in the van to head home. It's easy. Ergonomic handles and its lightweight construction take the pain out of setting up.
