Frequently Asked Questions
Is the DRM315-P an active or passive speaker?
It is a passive speaker, meaning it requires an external power amplifier to drive it. It does not have a built-in amp.
What size amplifier is recommended for the DRM315-P?
The speaker handles up to 2000 watts, so it should be paired with a power amplifier rated within its power handling range for optimal performance without risk of damage.
What makes this a 3-way speaker?
It uses three dedicated drivers — a 15" woofer for low frequencies, a 6.5" midrange transducer for vocal and mid frequencies, and a 1.4" titanium-diaphragm compression driver for highs — allowing each frequency range to be reproduced by a specialized component.
Is the DRM315-P suitable for permanent installation?
Yes, as a passive speaker it is well-suited for fixed installations in venues, houses of worship, and performance spaces where an external amplifier rack is already in place.
Does the DRM315-P include any rigging hardware?
The product listing specifies the speaker itself; consult Mackie's documentation for available rigging and mounting accessories compatible with the DRM series.
