Mackie DLM Speakers!

i just got my 2 mackie dlm 12s...playing keys thru them in stereo. plugged directly in, didnt change the eq, made me smile big. clean and clear and louder than shat. no low end mud. for stage full range keys rig, i am immediately leaving my qsc k12s at home for practice. these mackies are really light and small. added delay plus verb fx is just icing on my sound. wanted to let u know, the sound was more like a baby 3way. the cab is barely bigger than the 12inch speaker, probably why it sound so tight. add a sub for serious low end needs, but for me, very very happy surprise. am going to get two more even. should cover any show up to thousand seater without much PA help. and btw i have no connection with any dealer or sales in any way, just sharing. its been years since my live stagesound was "right"

I have the DLM-12S Sub...I am extremely impressed and satisfied with it. :hyper:
 
I am considering these, just when I thought I was out of the PA business my old band pulls me back in. I sold most of my gear and drive a midsize hatchback. I am pretty sure I could fit my bass rig and the mackie system 2 tops/2 subs in there. I do question how much sound a powered 12in sub can throw. These systems sound great with recorded music but how will they sound with a band?
 
I don't gig so I cannot help too much but I can tell you that my Taurus III sounds wonderful through my 12S sub (I use my older JBL EON 15's as the mains with the 12S). I don't think you'd have any trouble when the band plays through the Mackie system.
