Mackie DRM 215 (UNIT)

A DRM Speaker Designed for Power and Precision, at the Heart of a "Pro" Oriented Series

The professional powered speakers in the DRM series are designed to deliver a high headroom while maintaining precise reproduction. The Class D amplification relies on next-generation protection and power factor correction to optimize efficiency and stability, whether the speaker is used for live performance, fixed installation, or rental fleets. The goal of the range is clear: to offer a robust, ready-to-work format with advanced DSP tools and embedded control adapted to the field.

Intended Uses: Concerts, Clubs, DJs, Speech, and Stage Monitors

With its 15-inch long-excursion woofer and 1.4-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver, this active speaker targets users who want generous coverage capable of filling a room, club, DJ event, or live show. It is also suitable for contexts where speech intelligibility at high levels is essential (speeches, mobile places of worship), while maintaining dynamic range for music. Thanks to its angled pan, it can also be used as a stage monitor, and its 35 mm dual-angle pole mount facilitates coverage adaptation depending on the setup.

DSP, Voicings, and Control: "Mix-Ready" Sound and Quick Setup

Advanced Impulse, FIR Filters, and Time Alignment

The Advanced Impulse DSP provides acoustic correction and time alignment via precisely tuned FIR filters. The result is a more coherent response, cleaner transients, and better clarity, especially when the speaker is driven hard or integrated into a larger system. The precision crossovers and driver time alignment contribute to a more natural transition between low and high frequencies, delivering a crystal-clear and impactful sound.

Voicings, Equalization, and Delay: Immediate Adaptation to the Stage

To quickly adapt to different uses, the speaker offers Live, Monitor, Club, and Sub voicings. A 3-band parametric equalizer allows fine-tuning of the sound, and delay control helps manage simple alignments (e.g., to reinforce coverage or complement a subwoofer). You also have access to 6 user presets, convenient for recalling settings based on venue, artist, or event type.

DRM Control Dashboard: Clear Navigation, Accessible Settings

The DRM Control Dashboard control system features a high-contrast color screen on the rear panel, designed to speed up configuration. For installations or performances where settings need to be secured, a code access lock is provided.

Connectivity and Built-in Mixing: Quick Connection, Clean Workflow

The integrated mixer and 2 independent combo XLR/6.35mm jack inputs (mic/line/instrument) allow easy connection of multiple sources, in addition to a stereo mini-jack auxiliary input. An XLR Mix Out output simplifies sending the signal to a second speaker or to a distribution chain. The entire system is housed in an 18 mm plywood enclosure with a textured finish and steel grille, designed to withstand transport and handling.
