Intelligent Class-D Amplification

2000W of class-leading power. The Mackie DRM18S'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 DRM18S allows you to make use of a user-adjustable variable crossover point, cardioid mode, polarity inversion, alignment delay, user presets, and a system lock.

You can view the current crossover setting, as well as high-resolution metering and more, all from a single overview window. The crossover can be adjusted with ease, giving you everything you need to match the subwoofer to any speaker system. There is also a DRM-specific mode that tailors your sub perfectly for the DRM Series loudspeakers. Setting up a directional subwoofer array is quick and easy using the built-in cardioid mode. Plus, 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

This DRM series subwoofer boasts premium components for outstanding performance. A high-sensitivity woofer is housed inside robust braced plywood cabinets. The DRM18S features an 18'' high-excursion woofer that provides increased sensitivity, an incredible bass response, and outstanding reliability. No matter how demanding your situation may be, the DRM18S is designed to deliver phenomenal sound every single time. The cabinet features a tour-grade textured finish that is ready for the road.
