4. XLR Input

The input channel may accept a balanced mic  

signal using an XLR connector. It is wired as follows, 

according to standards specified by the AES (Audio 

Engineering Society).

Balanced XLR Input Connector

     Pin 1 = Shield (ground) 

     Pin 2 = Positive (+ or hot) 

     Pin 3 = Negative (– or cold)

NEVER connect the output of an amplifier  

directly to the DRM12A’s input jack.  

This could damage the input circuitry!

5. XLR Output

This is a male XLR-type connector that produces  

exactly the same signal that is connected to the input 

jack located above it. Use it to daisy-chain several 

DRM12A loudspeakers together off the same signal 

source.

It is wired as follows, according to standards  

specified by the AES (Audio Engineering Society): 

Balanced XLR Output Connector

     Pin 1 – Shield (ground) 

     Pin 2 – Positive (+ or hot) 

     Pin 3 – Negative (– or cold)

See page 6 to learn more about daisy-chaining  

DRM12A loudspeakers.

6. LCD Display

This modern, high-resolution, all-color TFT LCD  

Display is one of the most vital features of the DRM12A 

loudspeaker. It displays loudspeaker information 

including (but not limited to) levels, array mode, 

high-pass filter, EQ and delay settings, lock / unlock 

status and other parameters.

The brightness is controllable, but  

an overall screen brightness is required  

for certain aspects of the set-up options.

7. Speaker Control Knob

This push-button rotary encoder allows you  

to access functions such as master level control  

and metering, array mode, subwoofer HPF, EQ and 

delay settings, product information and much more!

8 and 9. Dual-Angle Pole Cup

The rear pole cup [8] is for use with a single unit on 

a pole. It orients the DRM12A downward 10˚ for output 

parallel to the floor.

The front pole cup [9] serves two purposes. It angles 

the DRM12A downward 30˚ to aim at the audience  

below the loudspeaker. It may also be utilized for use 

with two DRM12As arrayed on one pole.
