Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
So far after several practices and a couple of live gigs they are great. Well made and they look great too. Amazing sound and lots of volume even though they are small.
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
The best feature is the sound because that is what really matters. But there are lots of other things about the mixer on the back that let you make the sound even better. Reverb and EQ and a bunch of other stuff I havent had time to experiment with yet.
Ease of Use
How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be?
Super easy to setup and to use the digital mixer. I set them up and adjusted the mixer settings without reading the manual. I do need to read the manual because there are some things i dont undderstand (like why they have delays in 2 places). Plus I just realized they have ways to save your settings so once you have adjusted it to the way you like it, you dont have to do it every time you use it.
Sound
How is the tone?
Well our friends all say we sound way better through the new PA (DLM12 for tops and also we use 2 of the DLM12S subs). For practice we use them as monitors and things sound much better compared to the old peavey pa.

Your general opinion of this product.
DLMs work great for monitors and for main PA speakers. I have spent more time with the DLM8 as my drum monitor, but the other guys in the band love the 12" as a monitor for practice and our live shows sound better than ever.

Mackie’s new DLM12’s are the amazing. I bought a pair of them and couldn’t be happier. I’ve been using them, in conjunction with the DLM12S subwoofers and it’s truly remarkable the sound that comes outta this super compact system. They have tons of power (8000 watt system) and they are unbelievably simple. For small gigs, this is the perfect rig. I’m looking forward to adding some DLM8’s to use for wedges. Oh, and for rehearsals, we just use the top boxes (no need of the subs at low volumes with just vocals going through).
