Mackie FB100 Flybar for DRM12A, DRM12A-P Speakers+DRM18S, DRM18S-P Subwoofers

The Mackie FB100 is the fly bar that turns DRM Series cabinets into an array. It supports up to four DRM12A or DRM12A-P loudspeakers, or up to two DRM18S subwoofers, and works for both flying and ground stacking, so the same piece of hardware covers a rigged install and a stacked stage setup.

Flying tops instead of poling them changes what an audience hears. Cabinets go above heads rather than behind them, coverage reaches the back of the room, and the front rows stop taking the full brunt. For clubs, houses of worship, and production companies, that is the difference between a system that fills the room and one that just gets loud at the front.

The FB100 works with both powered and passive DRM cabinets, which matters when inventory mixes DRM12A tops with DRM12A-P boxes on amp racks. Flying subwoofers calls for the FKDRM18S flyware kit alongside it.

The kit includes the fly bar, a bracket foot for ground-stacked configurations, and the necessary hardware, so it is ready to rig without a hardware store run. Combined with the seven M10 flypoints and integrated flying hardware on DRM cabinets, it gives a straightforward path from a stand-mounted pair to a proper four-box array.
