This type of setup will typically be found at small indoor or outdoor gigs, festivals, weddings, or parades where a high output
PA with wide coverage and throw is necessary. This is a great setup for local DIY bands, too.
The left output from a mixer feeds the ch. 1 input of a Mackie DRM18S powered subwoofer. The ch. 1 direct output
of the subwoofer feeds the input of a Mackie DRM12A powered arrayable loudspeaker. The DRM12A reproduces
the mid-to-high frequencies in mono, and the sub provides the low frequencies in mono.
It is possible to reproduce this exact same hookup in stereo. Simply utilize the left and right main outputs from the mixer
to feed the ch. 1 inputs of each subwoofer and mirror the rest of the system as identified above.
Another important aspect to keep in mind is the rigging setup. In this diagram, the DRM12As are pole-mounted on a DRM18S
subwoofer, utilizing an SPM400 adjustable pole. Refer to pages 18 and 19 for more information about rigging.
You will want to set the crossover to DRM Top as described in detail on page 13. Or set it to Var if using a non-DRM
loudspeaker.
