Mackie DRM315 Active Loudspeaker

2300W 3-Way Powered Loudspeaker for High-Output Live Sound

The Mackie DRM315 is a 15" 3-way professional powered loudspeaker engineered for venues and touring rigs that demand serious output without sacrificing vocal clarity. A 2300W Class-D amplifier drives a 15" high-excursion woofer, a 6.5" midrange transducer, and a 1.4" titanium-diaphragm compression driver — a true three-way design that keeps vocals and instruments landing with their own definition. The cabinet reaches a maximum SPL of 137 dB across a usable frequency range of 39 Hz to 20 kHz.

Advanced Impulse DSP and DRM Control Dashboard

What separates this model from typical two-way PA cabinets is the pairing of a true 3-way transducer array with Mackie's Advanced Impulse DSP, which uses FIR filtering to reverse the frequency-response and time-domain artifacts each driver introduces. The rear-panel DRM Control Dashboard pairs a high-contrast full-color display with a single rotary knob for quick access to 3-band parametric EQ, voicing modes (Live, Club, Speech), a variable crossover, alignment delay, and six recallable user presets.

Who This 3-Way Loudspeaker Is Built For

The DRM315 is the right choice for mobile DJs, live bands, houses of worship, and production companies needing a single speaker for full-range front-of-house duties in mid-sized venues. Its 3-way voicing gives vocalists and acoustic instrumentalists better articulation than a typical 2-way top, while the 137 dB ceiling keeps up with rock bands and high-energy dance floors. Touring users will appreciate the 15 mm plywood construction, M10 fly points, and dual-angle pole mount.
