Hookup Diagrams continued...
Similar to the hook-up diagram on the previous page, this is the perfect setup for any venue where the audience is level
with and sloping upward from the stage and PA. For example, a bowl, a shed or a gym with bleachers. However, a DRM8S
subwoofer is introduced to this setup, adding a lot more thump to the system.
The lef output from a mixer feeds the ch.  input of a Mackie DRM8S powered subwoofer. The ch.  high-pass output
of the subwoofer feeds the input of a Mackie DRM2A powered loudspeaker. The output of that Mackie DRM2A powered
loudspeaker feeds the input of the next Mackie DRM2A powered loudspeaker. The DRM2As reproduce the mid-to-high
frequencies in mono, and the sub provides the low frequencies in mono. Since three DRM2As are used, the array mode
should be set to the 3-4 or 3-4 long position and the subwoofer HPF to DRM Sub. Or set it to Var if not using the DRM8S.
It is possible to reproduce this exact same hookup in stereo. Simply utilize the lef and right main outputs from the mixer
to feed the ch.  input of each DRM8S and mirror the rest of the system as described above.
Another important aspect to keep in mind is the rigging setup of loudspeakers. In this diagram, the DRM2As are ground
stacked on a DRM8S subwoofer utilizing the FKDRM8S flyware kit. This system may also be flown utilizing the FB00
Flybar, with the DRM8S powered subwoofer on top. See the next two pages for flying DRM2As, page 22 to view a table
listing other configuration possibilities and pages 24-26 for more information about rigging.
Note that the DRM2A’s AC power may be linked via the AC Thru. Refer to page 6 for details on daisy-chaining AC power.
