Essential information about the 15-inch + 6.5-inch passive PA speaker
- Powerful and versatile format: combination of a 15-inch speaker, a 6.5-inch speaker, and a 1.4-inch compression driver for wideband coverage suitable for both live and installed sound.
- Comfortable headroom: 500 W continuous, 1000 W program, and up to 2000 W peak, with a max SPL rated at 123 dB continuous average (129 dB peak).
- Controlled coverage: 90deg x 50deg directivity with a rotatable horn, convenient for adjusting orientation depending on the mounting (vertical or horizontal).
- Designed for the field: transport handles, 35 mm pole mount, and 12 M10 rigging points for easy integration in front-fill, side-fill, delay, or fixed installation setups.

A classic in sound reinforcement: the optimized "15-inch + compression driver" format
In the world of sound reinforcement, the 15-inch speaker remains a benchmark for achieving depth in the low frequencies and a sense of impact, while maintaining a reasonable footprint. The addition of a dedicated 6.5-inch transducer helps better structure the midrange area, often critical for vocal intelligibility and the presence of guitars, keyboards, or brass. Finally, the 1.4-inch compression driver ensures definition and attack in the high frequencies, for clearer listening even at high levels.
With an impedance of 4 ohms, this speaker is designed for efficiency and performance, ideal when you want to get the most out of a suitable power amplifier. It naturally fits into a sound system that prioritizes level, durability, and projection.
Who is this speaker for and in which applications does it excel?
This passive PA speaker is aimed at service providers, bands, DJs, and venues (bars, clubs, multipurpose rooms, event spaces) looking for a robust solution capable of covering an audience with real dynamic headroom. Its extended frequency response down to 45 Hz (-10 dB) allows it to be used in full-range configuration for modest events, while remaining perfectly relevant when paired with one or more subwoofers for deeper, more physical bass.
Thanks to its rotatable horn, it adapts equally well to front-fill use as to specific mounting configurations: speaker placed horizontally, under-balcony coverage, delay fills, or integration into a stage design where coverage orientation must remain consistent. The 35 mm pole mount facilitates mounting on a stand, while the M10 points simplify suspension and permanent installation.

Questions frequently asked
Which amplification is suitable for a 4 ohm passive speaker rated at 500 W?
This speaker has an impedance of 4 Ω and accepts 500 W continuous, 1000 W program, and 2000 W peak power. Therefore, a 4 Ω compatible amplifier with power matching these specifications is required.
Can the Mackie DRM315-P be used without a subwoofer?
The specified frequency response ranges from 45 Hz to 20 kHz at -10 dB, allowing full-range use for small to medium-sized events. For deeper bass extension, pairing with one or more subwoofers is recommended.
What is the dispersion pattern of this speaker?
The rotatable horn provides a coverage of 90° horizontal and 50° vertical. This configuration maintains consistent directivity when the speaker is mounted horizontally.
Which drivers are installed in the DRM315-P?
The configuration includes a 15-inch woofer, a 6.5-inch midrange driver, and a 1.4-inch compression driver. The 6.5-inch driver is dedicated to the midrange frequencies.
Can it be mounted on a stand or suspended?
The 35 mm pole mount allows for stand or pole mounting. Twelve M10 rigging points are provided for suspension. Two handles facilitate handling of the speaker, which weighs 31 kg.
