Description
The Yamaha DXR12 is a professional 12-inch, 2-way active loudspeaker engineered for versatile, high-output sound reinforcement in demanding environments. Delivering a robust 1100 watts of peak power via intelligent Class-D amplification, this model represents the highly capable middle tier of Yamaha’s active speaker lineup, balancing low-frequency extension with critical vocal articulation. The acoustic design integrates custom-designed transducers with Yamaha’s proprietary FIR-X tuning, utilizing linear phase FIR filters for the crossover network.
Encased in a rugged, resonance-free ABS enclosure with standard rigging points, the DXR12 is built for deployment in varying acoustic spaces. The primary real-world applications include acting as the main front-of-house (FOH) PA for live bands in small to medium venues, high-powered floor monitoring for professional stages, and high-fidelity, high-SPL playback for mobile DJs.
Who Is This For?:
This active speaker is engineered for gigging bands, mobile DJs, and audio rental companies requiring reliable, road-ready sound reinforcement. It serves professionals who demand high sound pressure levels, extensive amplifier headroom, and precise acoustic phase alignment in a durable, flyable cabinet that can withstand heavy touring schedules.
Key Features:
- Advanced FIR-X Tuning Crossover:
Employs proprietary linear phase FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filters within the digital crossover network. This technology optimizes the phase and time alignment between the 12-inch woofer and the high-frequency compression driver. The real-world result is highly accurate sound reproduction and transient clarity, drastically reducing the mid-range muddiness and smearing often found in conventional analog crossovers.
- Intelligent D-CONTOUR Multiband Compressor:
Features a dynamic processor that constantly monitors output levels across multiple frequency bands and adjusts EQ in real-time. Whether utilizing the FOH/MAIN setting or the MONITOR setting, this ensures consistent, full-range audio whether the speaker is operating at low background volumes or being pushed near its maximum threshold, preventing frequency imbalance during highly dynamic performances.
- High-Headroom 1100W Amplification:
Driven by custom-designed Class-D amplifiers providing 950W to the low frequencies and 150W to the highs. This immense power reserve guarantees transient attacks—like heavy kick drums or slap bass—are reproduced accurately without amplifier clipping. It offers mix engineers the headroom necessary for clean, uncompressed live mixes at high volumes.
