DRM Professional Passive Loudspeaker Series

DRM Loudspeakers:  

Rear Panel Features

The DRM Series passive loudspeakers have speakON 

input and thru connectors, although each of the jacks 

may be used as an input or a thru connection (because 

the connectors are wired in parallel).

Use only one jack as an input connector.

speakON connectors are designed to handle  

the higher currents produced by amplifiers and have  

a locking feature to prevent accidental disconnections. 

Simply line up the tabs on the plug with the jack  

on the DRM Series passive loudspeaker, push it  

in and rotate it clockwise 1/4 turn to lock it in place.

1. Input

This is a female NL4-type connector that produces 

exactly the same signal that is connected to the thru 

jack located next to it. Connect the speaker-level  

output of an amplifier to the loudspeaker’s input jack.

2. Thru

This is a female NL4-type connector that  

produces exactly the same signal that is connected  

to the input jack located next to it. Use it to daisy-chain 

several DRM loudspeakers together off the same signal 

source(s).

See page 5 to learn more about daisy-chaining  

DRM loudspeakers.

Dual-Angle Pole Cup

The rear pole cup [3] is for vertical mounting  

the loudspeaker.

The front pole cup [4], on the other hand, angles  

the loudspeaker downward 7˚ to aim at the audience 

below the loudspeaker.

5 and 6. DRM12A-P Dual-Angle Pole Cup

The rear pole cup [5] is for use with a single unit  

on a pole. It orients the DRM12A-P downward 10˚  

for output parallel to the floor.

The front pole cup [6] serves two purposes. It angles 

the DRM12A-P downward 30˚ to aim at the audience  

below the loudspeaker. It may also be utilized for use 

with two DRM12A-Ps arrayed on one pole.
