World-class Sound and No-fuss Setup

Building a great-sounding line array is a breeze — if you have a Mackie DRM12A, that is. This state-of-the-art active arrayable speaker is loaded with 2,000 watts of power and innovative DSP to ensure top-notch sound. It’s built for demanding live performances, with custom high-sensitivity transducers and a roadworthy, texture-coated 18mm plywood cabinet. Beyond that, the DRM12A is a breeze to set up, thanks to Mackie’s DRM Control Dashboard, which features a high-contrast, full-color display on the speaker’s back panel. For world-class sound and no-fuss setup, you can’t beat Mackie’s DRM12A.

Top-shelf construction offers world-class sound

Because of its top-shelf construction, the DRM12A offers world-class sound. Its triple 1" titanium-diaphragm compression driver array was designed especially for its amplifier, ensuring maximum clarity and transparency. Its 12" high-excursion woofer delivers exceptional sensitivity, bass response, and reliability — whatever your application, the DRM12A can tackle it. Enjoy smooth yet punchy low-frequency response thanks to a unique ported design. Experience peak performance while avoiding blowouts courtesy of next-gen protection circuitry. Benefit from optimal acoustic performance by virtue of roadworthy 18mm plywood construction and internal bracing. Beyond that, a dual-angle pole mount yields optimal coverage and minimal reflections.

Loaded with advanced features

The DRM12A is packed with innovative technology, including Impulse DSP for peak performance. Experience reference-quality sound all throughout its entire frequency range thanks to precision crossovers, while linear-phase FIR filtering minimizes inherent anomalies, phase issues, and muddy midrange for crystal-clear sound. Setup is a snap, courtesy of preset array configuration settings with modes for one, two, or more cabinets with long-throw and independent sub options. You also get an adjustable 3-band parametric EQ for further customization and tuning, along with an Alignment Delay control for delay stacks. Save and recall up to six user presets, and benefit from Mackie’s DRM Control Dashboard, which includes a high-contrast, full-color display and quick, 1-knob access to configuration, processing, and more. At Sweetwater, we’ve found that the DRM12A has all the features that we demand — and then some.

Rated 5/5

Love them

I was searching for a scalable PA speaker that could get the job done at a small outdoor gig and found that with the DRM12a. We take 2 boxes to indoor "pub" gigs and 4 boxes to outdoor gigs. The clarity of these speakers blows me away. They sound incredible. We've used them and (3)18" subs outdoors for about 200 people with good results. They sound fantastic. I wish we had a little more headroom though.
Rated 5/5

Light weight and Powerful

Replaced my double 15" woofers for smaller lighter (62 lbs) speakers. Put 2 in my Tahoe with ultimate stands and one sub woofer takes care of most of my DJ Gigs.

Rated 2/5

Lacking Clairity

I am a fan of the "new" Mackie V-Class tops as well as their subs, so I thought for a $+ line array, this would be a stellar speaker. I was disappointed in this speaker in the fact that a side-by-side with a Mackie SRM V-10, it did not have much more to give than the 10". I had a DJ/sound friend even come over to listen to it and he was in shock that for a $ line array, it was lacking in clairity, and overall sound. Hard to believe it is a 137db speaker.
