DRM Professional Powered Loudspeaker Series
Rotate the speaker control knob until the sub HPF
you desire is illuminated, then push to select it.
If var is selected (as seen below), the frequency
is illuminated and may be changed by rotating the
speaker control knob clockwise (raise the frequency)
and counter-clockwise (lower the frequency).
In addition to the three sub modes, there’s a fourth
and final selection: the left-facing arrow. Illuminating
and selecting this simply returns you to the menu.
EQ Setup
On to the bottom row now! The first one listed
is EQ, and, as you might expect, this is where
to adjust the output EQ.

CONFIG
MODE
The DRM212, DRM215 and DRM315 all have 3-band
EQ with shelving hi, peaking mid and shelving low.
Shelving means that the circuitry boosts or cuts all
frequencies past the specified frequency. Peaking
means that certain frequencies form a “hill” around
the center frequency.
With too much EQ, you can really upset
things. We’ve designed a lot of boost
and cut into the equalizer circuit because
we know that everyone will occasionally need that.
But if you max the EQ, you’ll get mix mush.
In order to change the EQ, first push the speaker
control knob when the EQ icon is illuminated
(see image above). This opens the EQ view:
From here, rotate the speaker control knob until
the parameter you want to change is illuminated.
Push the speaker control knob in to select the
parameter followed by rotating the speaker control
knob clockwise (raise the gain / frequency)
and counter-clockwise (lower the gain / frequency).
The EQ ranges are as follows:
• Low:
±12 dB @ 20 Hz – 200 Hz
• Mid:
±12 dB @ 200 Hz – 2.00 kHz
• High:
±12 dB @ 2.00 kHz – 20.0 kHz
