How to Use This Manual:
Afer this introduction, a getting started guide will help
you get things set up fast. The hookup diagrams show some typical DRM loudspeaker setups, including some that involve
DRM Professional Powered Loudspeaker Series
the DRM8S subwoofer.
This icon marks information that is critically important or unique! For your own good, read and remember them...it is a good idea to pay special attention to these areas in the Owner’s Manual marked with the “VERY IMPORTANT” hand icon.
The following steps will help you set up the loudspeakers
quickly.
. Make all initial connections with the power switches OFF
on all equipment. Make sure the master volume, level and gain controls are all the way down.
2. If not using a subwoofer, connect the outputs from
the mixing console (or other signal source) to the inputs on the rear panel of the loudspeakers.
3. If using a subwoofer, connect the outputs from
the mixing console (or other signal source) to the inputs on the subwoofer, then connect the high pass outputs from the subwoofer to the inputs of the loudspeakers.
4. Push the line cord securely into the subwoofer’s /
loudspeaker’s IEC connectors and plug the other ends into grounded AC outlets. The subwoofer/loudspeaker may accept the appropriate voltage as indicated near the IEC connector.
5. Turn the mixer (or other signal source) on.
6. Turn the subwoofer on (if applicable).
7. Turn the loudspeakers on.
8. Make sure the loudspeaker’s channel levels are set
to (or near) 0 dB.
9. Start the signal source and raise the mixer’s main L/R
fader up to a comfortably loud listening level.
There’s an illustration of a microscope, so, of course, you’re going to get more detailed information when you see this little guy. There are explanations of features and practical tips listed here.
It’s a good idea to pay attention to text displayed next to a note icon, as this icon draws attention to certain features and functions relating to the usage of the DRM Series.
Please write the serial numbers here for future reference (i.e., insurance claims, tech support, return authorization, make dad proud, etc.)

Date of purchase:
Things to Remember:
• Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods. Please see
the Safety Instructions on page 2 for information on hearing protection.
• As a general guide, the mixer (or other signal source) should
be turned on first, subwoofers next, and DRM loudspeakers last. As such, the DRM loudspeakers should also be turned o first, followed by the subwoofers, then the mixer. This will reduce the possibility of any turn-on or turn-o thumps and other noises generated by any upstream equipment from coming out of the speakers.
• Save the shipping boxes and packing materials! You may
need them someday. Besides, the cats will love playing in them and jumping out at you unexpectedly. Remember to pretend like you are surprised!
• Save your sales receipt in a safe place.

DRM loudspeakers are the perfect tool for singer-songwriters touring the local coee shops. Bring your favorite axe and mic, DRM loudspeakers and cables and power cords.
In this example, a dynamic microphone is connected to the channel  input of a DRM22 loudspeaker, used for monitoring purposes.
Now grab your axe and plug it directly into the channel 2 input. Or if you use eects, connect the guitar to the eects input and another cable from the eects output to the channel 2 input.
A DRM25 loudspeaker will be used for the main PA. Simply connect a cable from the DRM22 monitor’s MIX OUT jack to the DRM25 PA’s channel  input.
For the output, you will want to set a speaker mode, described in detail on page 2. For this type of setup, Live works well for the main DRM25. Select the Monitor mode for the DRM22 monitor. Additionally, you will want to set the monitor’s configuration > channel 2 input to Hi-Z to account for the guitar.

DRM loudspeakers may be daisy-chained via the male XLR connector labeled “DIRECT OUT” (which sends only the signal from the input located above it) or via the “MIX OUT” which outputs all inputs. Simply plug the signal source (i.e., mixer output or microphone) into the input jack(s), and patch that loudspeaker’s direct out or mix out jack to the next loudspeaker’s input jack, and so on, daisy-chaining multiple DRM loudspeakers. See above for visual representations of daisy-chaining.

Here’s how to set up a large club system. In this example, the L/R outputs of a DL6S mixer are connected directly to the CH inputs of a pair of DRM8S subwoofers. The Direct Out of each subwoofer is then connected to the inputs of an additional pair of DRM8S subwoofers. The X-Over of these subwoofers may be set to DRM Top.
From here, the high-pass outputs of the two outer DRM8S subwoofers are connected directly to the inputs of a set of DRM35 loudspeakers. The Speaker Modes of these PA loudspeakers may be set to Live (or Club) and the Subwoofer HPF set to DRM Sub. Talk about beefy low end!
Outputs  and 2 from the mixer may be used as aux sends; these are connected directly to the CH inputs of a pair of DRM22 loudspeakers to be used as monitors for the band. The Speaker Modes of the monitor loudspeakers may be set to Monitor.
