Members djrome Posted March 5, 2013 Members Share Posted March 5, 2013 Im not even sure what that means but if it has to do with weight loss, congrats! Im happy for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted March 5, 2013 Members Share Posted March 5, 2013 Nowhere did I say the Mackie speakers were bad, poor etc. The ONLY thing I said was that (the most highly featured text in the ad) was a marketing number only compared with what most of the pro audio industry relies on. IIRC, that's a 500 watt (RMS) rated amp in those spakers IF you were to compare with other more traditionally rated products. Just clarifying facts. For your use, they might be a very good choice. I never said otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pro Sound Guy Posted March 5, 2013 Members Share Posted March 5, 2013 They have a real creative way of describing a coaxial louspeaker. This technology has been around for a LONG time. Cant anyone just give an RMS value anymore? PAS was doing this stuff years ago This is nothing new to any market Full range class D use, and digital processing is the only newer technology here that I can see. Ok now I will watch the rest of the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dcastar Posted March 6, 2013 Members Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hmmm.... Maybe I'm in the wrong business. I think I'm going to build a really cr@ppy 8" speaker system, and then advertise it with 10000 watt peak power!!!Then watch all the unaware band leaders / musicians buy them like hotcakes because 'OMG THEY HAVE 10000 WATTS SO THEY MUST BE GREAT!' and then defend them to the bitter end, even when presented with systems that are clearly better. Or maybe there's another angle to play... have these guys gotten hearing damage so bad, that they really can't tell the difference?? Either way.... *facepalm* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members djsweets Posted April 25, 2013 Members Share Posted April 25, 2013 Do you use any kind of sound processor? I use a DBX w/ my SRM & Yorkville Sub, and love the way they sound... I just don't want to give up sound quality for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members idobro Posted July 19, 2013 Members Share Posted July 19, 2013 I've been using JBL10 G2 powered speakers for years. I had a 90 lb. JBL sub with an 18" speaker, but it was massive and I got rid of it. Switching from my band to solo work this summer and in search of a small sub, I found this DLM 12S. I loved the 46 lb. weight and the easy of operation, but the sound was incredible! My first gig was outdoors with the facade of a Two-story building behind me. Down the gentle slope in front of me and covering about 150 x 200', was a crowd of about 225. It covered the crowd easily and the sound was very smooth and very nice. I am totally in love with this subwoofer. It has plenty of power, being 1000 watts RMS (2000 W is the peak power). QSC As a sub woofer that weighs 74 lb, but it cost just as much as the Mackie ... And it's heavier! It is rated at 1000 W just like the Mackie. I don't think either one would BLOW UP! Great product, the DLM12S! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Randyman Posted July 19, 2013 Members Share Posted July 19, 2013 Thanks for the review! You probably had some reenforcement of the sound because of the 2 story building behind you? What kind of music is your solo work? Have you used it yet in challenging indoor spaces? Yeah, light weight is big, heavy deal! Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted July 19, 2013 Members Share Posted July 19, 2013 I wish manufacturers would stop inflating power ratings. They mean nothing anymore in this powered speaker category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pearsonchuck Posted November 9, 2013 Members Share Posted November 9, 2013 Purchased a single Mackie DLM12 full range speaker in hopes it would work for a jazz duo. I was not impressed with the volume or sound right out of the box. I sure wanted this speaker to work because it is so small and light and with built in EQ and effects I was hoping to eliminate a mixer and some weight from my setup. Play keyboards along with a sax player in mostly small venues playing jazz standards. Our amplification requirements are (One vocal channel, one keyboard channel (Nord Stage2 used in split mode for Bass and Piano, and one for MP3 backing drum tracks. Also own and used a JBL EON2 15 active speaker to compare the sound with the DLM12 at home. At first glance, my keyboard sounded very bassy and somewhat artificial sounding thought the Mackie. The big surprise for me was that my keyboard was much louder and fuller sounding in my 400 watt JBL than the 2000 watt Mackie DLM12. Mackie has a great idea and I applaud them for what they are trying to do with this speaker. I hope they continue to improve on this concept. I would love to see a 30 pound speaker that sounds more like the SRM450 or JBL EON2 15 with a built in 3 or 4 channel mixer with effects and real knobs/sliders. Oh well,I returned the Mackie DLM12 and, fo rnow, I'm back to the drawing board. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pearsonchuck Posted November 20, 2013 Members Share Posted November 20, 2013 I have been a Mackie fan for over 10 years. I own 2 SRM450s a SRM150 and 1402 mixer. When I saw the DLM12, I thought, here is a small, light, powerful speaker from a good company. So I purchased the DLM12 and when I got it home I compared the sound of my Nord Stage 2 thru a JBL EON2 15 450 watt active speaker and the 2000 watt Mackie DLM12. Boy was I suprisingly dissappointed with this Mackie product. JBL sounded more balanced, fuller, louder and clearer than the DLM12 at half the volume of the DLM12. DLM12 ws too bassy, not very loud, had a hiss sound at half volume, and my piano sounds were very thin and artificial sounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
