Take advantage of the versatile capabilities of Mackie's DRM series, and discover a truly immersive listening experience.

Flexible Arrayable Design

Maximise your sound. With the Mackie DRM12A, you can create an incredibly powerful array using multiple DRM12A loudspeakers either on their own, or in combination with DRM18S subwoofers. These powerful arrays can be suspended from above, or stacked on the ground using Mackie's optional FB100 Flyware Kit.

When using a ground stack consisting purely of DRM12As, you can stack a maximum of three loudspeakers together on top of the FB100 Flybar. This configuration utilises the Ground Stack Foot, removing the need to stack your speakers on top of a DRM18S subwoofer. You can also create a ground stack using either one or two DRM18Ss as a base, with a maximum of three DRM12A loudspeakers on top. This configuration doesn't require the use of the flybar.

The flybar can also be used to create a suspended array. The bar features a selection of holes for suspending the array at a variety of angles, allowing you to aim your array with ease. The suspended array can consist of up to a maximum of two DRM18S subwoofers and four DRM12A loudspeakers, or a maximum of four DRM12A loudspeakers on their own (Working Load Limits should not be exceeded). With this powerful capability, you can build a system with incredibly powerful capabilities that can handle almost any situation you throw at it.

Intelligent Class-D Amplification

2000W of class-leading power. The Mackie DRM12A's ultra-efficient amplifier packs a punch. It's equipped with next-gen protection that ensures your transducers remain safe. It also features Power Factor Correction technology, giving you peak performance exactly when you need it. The amplifier boasts a universal power supply (100-240V), and regulates the incoming voltage effectively, even with unstable AC power.

Advanced Impulse™ DSP

The beating heart of the DRM series. Mackie's Advanced Impulse™ DSP ensures your loudspeakers perform at their best every single night. Acoustic correction and time-alignment are achieved through precisely-tuned FIR filters, giving you the powerful sound characteristics typically only associated with huge PA systems. Sound is clear, immersive, and full of impact, even at thunderous SPLs. No matter where you are, when you need mind-blowing sound, the DRM series makes sure you get it. No inherent anomalies, no phase issues, and no muddy mids, just pure reference-grade audio.

DRM Control Dashboard™

Complete control with an intuitive design. The DRM Control Dashboard™ is equipped with a vibrant, best-in-class full-colour display. It gives you uninhibited access to your speaker's most important settings, as well as levels and metering. The dashboard is easy to use. A single knob allows you to navigate menus and adjust parameters in seconds. The DRM12A allows you to make use of a 3-band parametric EQ, venue-specific voicing modes, alignment delay, user presets, and a system lock.

You can view the current EQ and voicing modes, as well as high-resolution metering, all from a single overview window. You can set your system up quickly and easily using preset array configuration settings, giving you options for a single cabinet, two cabinets, three to four cabinets with long throw, and an independent subwoofer. You can save up to six presets of your own and instantly recall them, giving you quick control for a variety of venues and situations. Once you're all set, you can lock the system using a four-digit passcode.

Rugged Construction with Professional Components

The DRM series boasts premium components for outstanding performance. High-sensitivity woofers and titanium-diaphragm compression drivers are housed inside robust braced plywood cabinets. No matter how demanding your situation may be, DRM loudspeakers are designed to deliver phenomenal sound every single time. The cabinets feature a tour-grade textured finish that is ready for the road. Plus, with a ported cabinet design, you can experience an exceptional low-end response.
