DLM loudspeakers may be daisy-chained via the male XLR connector labeled "THRU". Simply plug the
signal source (i.e., mixer output) into the input jack(s), and patch that loudspeaker's THRU jack to the next
loudspeaker's input jack, and so on, daisy-chaining multiple DLM loudspeakers. See above for a visual
representation of daisy-chaining.
The THRU jack on DLM loudspeakers are fully buffered with 100
drivers, so there is no additional loading to the inputs when daisy-chaining. In other words, you
could conceivably daisy-chain DLM loudspeakers indefinitely. If you do that, we want pictures!
