Mackie DLM12 12-inch 2000W Powered Speaker with DL2 Digital Mixer
The DLM12 packs 2000 watts and a full digital mixer into a cabinet about a third smaller than a traditional two-way. That compactness is the point, an entire DLM system fits in most cars and stacks flat for storage, and you still turn up with proper processing rather than a passive box and a stack of outboard.
- 2000W system power from ultra-efficient Class-D amplification
- TruSource driver, a Mackie designed vertically aligned common-magnet transducer with a 12 inch LF woofer and 1.75 inch HF compression driver
- TruSource DSP for clarity and consistent coverage
- DL2 integrated digital mixer with a bright OLED screen and one-touch operation
- Two input channels with independent level, 3-band EQ and effects, handling mic, line, stereo and instrument signals
- 16 channel effects including reverb, chorus and delay
- XLR and TRS combo plus dual RCA connectors
- Multi-band feedback destroyer and six speaker modes for the right voicing per application
- Alignment delay up to 300ms for delay stacks and balconies, with three memory locations for instant recall
- Smart Protect DSP that dynamically protects the amp and drivers
- Mounting options, pole mount on a tripod or atop a DLM12S with the SPM300 pole, M10 rigging points, or the SWM300 articulated wall arm
- Roadworthy PC-ABS cabinet with a 20 gauge powder-coated steel grille, ergonomic top handle and an integrated kickstand for monitor use
Mackie built the DLM series around one idea, that a portable loudspeaker should not sound like a compromise. The DLM12 is the 12 inch model, rated at 2000 watts, and it carries the series signature very short cabinet depth.
TruSource driver and DSP
Instead of a conventional woofer and horn arrangement, the DLM12 uses Mackie's TruSource vertically aligned common-magnet driver, a 12 inch LF woofer paired with a 1.75 inch HF compression driver on a shared magnet structure. TruSource DSP handles the voicing, which is how the cabinet holds its fidelity and coverage while staying about a third smaller than a traditional two-way box.
The mixer is already in the box
The DL2 digital mixer runs from a bright OLED screen with one-touch access. You get two versatile input channels, each with its own level, 3-band EQ and effects, fed by XLR and TRS combo jacks plus dual RCA, so mic, line, stereo and instrument sources all land somewhere sensible. There are 16 channel effects on board covering reverb, chorus and delay.
System control for real rooms
- Multi-band feedback destroyer
- Six speaker modes for different applications
- Alignment delay up to 300ms for delay stacks or balcony fills
- Three memory locations for instant venue recall
- Smart Protect DSP watching the amplifier and drivers
Rigging and transport
The PC-ABS cabinet has an ergonomic top carry handle, a rugged 20 gauge powder-coated steel grille and an integrated kickstand that sets a usable angle for personal monitor duty. Fly it on standard M10 hardware, pole mount it on a tripod or on a DLM12S using the SPM300, or install it on an SWM300 articulated arm.
