Mackie DLM8 2000W Active Speaker

Description

Your sound is important. You want to be sure that no matter what you're playing, it's reproduced the way it deserves to be. And that's exactly what Mackie's TruSource technology does.

Combining an extremely compact TruSource driver and groundbreaking TruSource DSP, the DLM8 ensures that every aspect of your sound is delivered with clarity and impact. The entire frequency range is reproduced with transparency thanks to a vertically-aligned, common-magnet driver design. Details and nuances are crystal-clear, so you and your audience can experience your music the way it was intended.

Mix with confidence
Everything you need, all in one place. The integrated digital mixer on your DLM8 is inspired by the renowned DL1608. One of Mackie's most popular and powerful digital mixing platforms. With an intuitive one-touch design and a bright OLED screen, configuring your sound has never been easier. Or more effective.

With two versatile input channels, you can control the channel level, 3-band EQ, and effects for each channel independently. There's 16 effects for you to take advantage of, including high-quality reverb, chorus, and delay. Plus, with XLR-TRS combo jacks and dual RCA connectors, each channel is capable of handling microphone, line, stereo, and instrument signals. There's no need for complex outboard gear to get the signal right. Just plug in, and you're all set.

Intelligent tools
Keep your performance feedback-free with the powerful multi-band feedback destroyer, and ensure your DLM8 sounds perfect for any application with six selectable speaker modes. Adjustable alignment delay of up to 300ms also allows you to optimise your sound for delay stacks, balconies, and more. And if you find yourself heading back to the same venue later down the line, you can save settings for that venue and recall them when you need them with three built-in memory locations. Plus, with Mackie's Smart Protect DSP, your DLM8's amp and drivers are kept safe from being pushed too hard for consistent and reliable performance.

Premium power
All that power. It's a lot to handle. But for the DLM8? It's effortless.

Make sure that everybody can hear your sound. Turn up the volume, and let 2000W of Class-D power flood your venue. It may be compact, but the DLM8 packs a serious punch. And there's enough headroom to take it even further without having to worry about distortion.

Any heat generated by the amp is dispersed effectively, keeping things cool and running smoothly. And when things start to reach their limitations, intelligent protection circuitry and Mackie's Smart Protect DSP keeps everything in check. Peak/RMS limiting, and PSU/amplifier thermal protection ensure that no matter how often you're out on the road, you can rely on your system night after night.

Phenomenal flexibility
It's never fun having to heave huge, heavy cabinets up flights of stairs, on to stages, and on to the top of stands. It takes the enjoyment away from doing what you do best. Well, you don't have to do that anymore. Everything you need to pump out that signature sound has been engineered with precision to fit in an ultra-lightweight and compact enclosure.

The DLM8 is the perfect choice for mobile performers. It's easy to carry, maneuver, and position. From the moment you carry it inside, to setting up and taking it down, and putting it back in the van to head home. It's easy. Ergonomic handles and its lightweight construction take the pain out of setting up.

Professional hardware makes it ideal for installations too. As well as floor-standing and pole-mounted use, the DLM8 is equipped with three integrated M10 mounting points, enabling you to fly your speaker for more advanced positioning options. There's also a built-in kickstand, making it an excellent choice for personal and stage monitoring use.
