Mackie Introduces Ultra-Compact, 2000W DLM Series Powered Loudspeakers
The live sound speaker landscape just got a more competitive. Today, Mackie announced a new line of ultra-compact, powered loudspeakers for portable sound reinforcement that emphasize power, processing and fidelity: DLM Series Powered Loudspeakers.
Mackie DLM12 + DLM12S subwoofer
DLM speakers each feature 2000 watts of power, proprietary Mackie TruSource technology and a full-featured integrated digital mixer/processor.
According to Mackie, this technological combination not only allows for the extremely small form factor of DLM, but also delivers a level of performance and fidelity that is not otherwise available.
The DLM system will be available Q4, 2012, and includes two full-range models (DLM8, DLM12) along with a high-output compact subwoofer (DLM12S). MSRP pricing will be: $879.99 for the DLM8, $1,059.99 for the DLM12, and $1,249.99 for the DLM12S.
Here are more specs, straight from Mackie:
“Each DLM Series Powered Loudspeaker delivers 2000 watts of ultra-efficient Class-D power. Featuring TruSource technology, the full-range DLM8 and DLM12 are equipped with Mackie’s TruSource driver that incorporates the high-output woofer and 1.75” compression driver into an incredibly compact common-magnet design.
Powerful TruSource DSP delivers seamless clarity, consistent dispersion and unmatched fidelity.
Both the DLM8 and DLM12 feature the Mackie DL2 integrated digital mixer, providing a dual-channel mixing solution for a wide array of possible connections with incredible channel features like 3-band EQ and 16 great-sounding effects. Plus, system processing like a multi-band feedback destroyer, six speaker modes and Smart Protect technology provide the tools needed for truly professional applications.
The ultra-compact form factor of the DLM8 and DLM12 includes a rugged PC-ABS cabinet, powder-coated grille and integrated kickstand for personal monitor use. The companion DLM12S packs 2000 watts of chest-pounding power and deep low end into the highest-output compact sub on the market.
The integrated DLP Digital Processor provides system processing tools like a variable crossover, speaker modes for optimum voicing and the system protection. The rugged 15mm poplar cabinet is unbelievably compact with a durable, powder-coated grille and integrated pole-cup for mounting a DLM full-range loudspeaker plus additional configuration options that include wall mounting and flying for professional installs.”
There are two videos available on the product line, including an in-depth feature and technology video and an entertaining video that shows the true power of DLM.
