Hookup Diagrams continued...
Two flown DRM8S subwoofers with four DRM2A arrayable loudspeakers
Similar to the hook-up diagram on the previous page, this setup is perfect for installs, touring systems, festivals and/or small
stages...any venue requiring a 75–00 foot throw. However, two subwoofers are introduced to this setup, providing even low
frequency coverage for the flown subs.
As in the previous hook-up diagram, the array mode should be set to the 3-4 position because four DRM2As are in the array.
Again, the top one or two DRM2As may be set to the 3-4 long position if they have to cover an audience at a substantially
further distance than the bottom boxes. Additionally, the subwoofer HPF should be set to DRM Sub and the DRM sub’s
crossover to DRM Top. See pages 6 and 22 for more information.
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 main inputs of the top subwoofers to mirror the rest of the system as identified above.
Another important aspect to keep in mind is the rigging setup of loudspeakers. In this diagram, the DRM2As and DRM8S
subwoofers are flown utilizing an FB00 Flybar. Note that each subwoofer requires its own FKDRM8S rigging kit, as well.
Refer to page 22 to view a table listing other configuration possibilities and pages 24-26 for more information about
rigging (and eyebolts).
Note that the DRM2As AC power may be linked via the AC Thru. Refer to page 6 for details on daisy-chaining AC power.
Last, but not least, a VERY important warning: when the FB00 Flybar is used to suspend a system, it can not retain a 0:
design factor at certain pick points for the largest systems. Please refer to the array usage and rigging sections, starting
on page 24.
