FKDRM 8S Flyware Kit
Similar to the hook-up diagram on the previous page, this is the perfect setup for any venue where the audience is level
with and sloping upward from the stage and PA. For example, a bowl, a shed or a gym with bleachers. However, a DRM18S
subwoofer is introduced to this setup, adding a lot more thump to the system.
The left output from a mixer feeds the ch. 1 input of a Mackie DRM18S powered subwoofer. The ch. 1 high-pass output
of the subwoofer feeds the input of a Mackie DRM12A powered loudspeaker. The output of that Mackie DRM12A powered
loudspeaker feeds the input of the next Mackie DRM12A powered loudspeaker. The DRM12As reproduce the mid-to-high
frequencies in mono, and the sub provides the low frequencies in mono. Since three DRM12As are used, the array mode
should be set to the 3-4 or 3-4 long position and the subwoofer HPF to DRM Sub. Or set it to Var if not using the DRM18S.
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 input of each DRM18S and mirror the rest of the system as described above.
Another important aspect to keep in mind is the rigging setup of loudspeakers. In this diagram, the DRM12As are ground
stacked on a DRM18S subwoofer utilizing the FKDRM18S flyware kit. This system may also be flown utilizing the FB100
Flybar, with the DRM18S powered subwoofer on top. See the next two pages for flying DRM12As, page 22 to view a table
listing other configuration possibilities and pages 24-26 for more information about rigging.
Note that the DRM12A's AC power may be linked via the AC Thru. Refer to page 6 for details on daisy-chaining AC power.
