From Our Research Team:Yamaha's Next-Gen PA SpeakersYou'll be amazed at the sonic clarity and depth you get from Yamaha's DXR12 powered loudspeakers, part of their new DXR/DXS line of Class D-powered PA speakers. Housed in durable, compact ABS enclosures, the 12" DXR12 two-way speakers represent Yamaha's latest sound reinforcement technology. DXR12 speakers pack maximum performance into an efficient design that's perfect for the gigging musician that's on the go. And thanks to the built-in three-channel mixer, the DXR12 is perfect for those times when you need sound reinforcement but don't need an entire PA system. Whether you're playing pre-recorded music or performing for a crowd, you'll love the transparent sound of the Yamaha DXR12 powered loudspeakers.Yamaha DXR12 Powered Loudspeaker at a Glance:
High-power, Class D amplifier The Yamaha DXR12 employs a 700W RMS Class D amplifier to serve up vibrant, dynamic sound reinforcement. The DXR12 is bi-amped, with a full 600 watts for the LF driver and 100 watts for the HF driver. The high wattage doesn't just let the DXR12 get loud, it gives it the headroom needed to reproduce the dynamics and nuances in your music. And thanks to the ultra-lightweight Class D amplifier, the DXR12's big sound is still convenient to transport. Stellar sound quality Yamaha used a lot of innovative technology to get the maximum sonic quality out of the DXR12 powered loudspeaker. For example, Yamaha's FIR-X tuning technology is constantly optimizing the time alignment between the HF and LF drivers, reducing phase cancellations to greatly enhance bass frequency response as well as stereo imaging. Also, the non-resonant ABS enclosure is designed to resist vibrations at high output levels, greatly reducing distortion for the best sound at extreme levels. Built-in three-channel mixer While a pair of DXR12 powered loudspeakers makes a great sound system, especially when paired with a Yamaha DXS subwoofer, what about those situations where you just need a little bit of reinforcement without an entire sound system? Just turn the DXR12 around, and connect up to three microphones or line-level signals for instant amplification. The versatile nature of the DXR12 makes it the ideal loudspeaker for solo musicians, as well as schools and houses of worship that need a flexible sound system for multiple applications.

by Martin from Philadelphia, PA
A very even sounding and balanced cabinet. Lows are good without being boomy. Very natural sounding. Plenty of power. Two features that I appreciate are the Stereo Link Mode and the 2, count 'em 2, ha... read more [+]ndles. I use them primarily for keyboards but they see occasional duty for music reproduction. They fit my needs for volume, clarity, weight and price point. If they hold up as well as my other Yamaha equipment then I'll have to change this rating to 5 stars! My Sales Engineer, Derek , has never steered me wrong. Thanks! close [-]
May 15, 2012 Music Background: working musician, live sound engineer, audio systems designer A Pleasant Surprise
by Matthew Andrae from Santa Fe, NM
I had the opportunity tonight to try new, out-of-the-box DXR12s and 10s that had just arrived at a gig I was playing. I had my usual QSC k12s and 10s ready to go but I was overcome by curiosity so I t... read more [+]hought I would give them (the Yamahas) a try.April 12, 2012 Music Background: Touring musician (US and Europe) The weight of the cabinets are approximately the same in that they feel very solid and don’t sound like a drum when you give them a thump. The inputs were flexible with XLR, 14” and RCAs all with their own pots, which might be nice if you need some extra mixing in a pinch. Furthermore, there were three contours to choose from that seemed like they were useful- I contoured the 10s to take out a little base and to jump the highs a bit but it was too thin for me so I changed it back to flat. I did not play with the link mode as I did not have the manuals handy but I can tell you that if you accidentally light up the amps in the wrong order, you don’t get that giant power spike pop from further down your chain of linked speakers like the QSCs do (it doesn’t sound like much of an advantage unless you are setting up monitors and mains by yourself with a speaker you have never worked with in a new room under a time line with people already in the venue that you would rather not scare with a 1400 watt nominal pop). As for the cabs, they seem to be the same material as the QSCs (which are incredibly tough). The feet and the cabinet angles are set up to let you monitor with the speaker lying on either side, which is nice. And now, for the sound: The short version is that I decided to leave them up and use them. Remember, I just set them up, dialed them in for five minutes and did the gig (MOTU Ultralite mixer and Neumann KMS 104 mic). With a little time spent with them, I am sure I could tweak them a bit and get some pretty great sound, but they were very clear, honest and accurate. The drivers did not sound tight and stifled like some new speakers do, which makes me wonder how much mass they have in the cones and surrounds compared to the QSCs, which took a while to unfold. I surprised myself several times during the gig when I looked down expecting my QSCs. I believe Yamaha went for a very similar product in both price and performance to the QSC K12s and 10s and I think they got the sound right. Of course, it remains to be seen how well they perform over the long run but for now, the world is a better place because there are now two companies making vastly superior sounding speakers at very reasonable prices. close [-] Also popular
