Yamaha DXR8mkII 1100W 8 inch Powered Speaker Reviews

8" Powered Speaker, with 1,100W (Peak) 2-way Operation (each)

You'll be amazed at the sonic clarity and depth you get from Yamaha's DXR8mkII powered loudspeakers, part of their DXR/DXS line of Class D–powered PA speakers. Housed in durable, compact ABS enclosures, the 8" DXR8mkII 2-way speakers represent Yamaha's latest sound reinforcement technology. While they're ready for duty as part of a full-scale stage rig, DXR8mkII speakers pack maximum performance into an efficient design that's also perfect for gigging musicians. And thanks to the built-in 3-channel mixer, the DXR8mkII 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 Yamaha's DXR8mkII powered loudspeakers.

Sounds great, but it does not have a monitor angle as advertised.

By Sweetwater Customer

The tech specs here says: "Mounting Options:
Pole, Floor Wedge, Fly." No, not wedge! I owned the original DXR8, and sold it only because it didn't have a floor monitor angle. I bought the MKII because I thought it did, but it also doesn't. I just have no clue the reason Yamaha would do that. Especially since it has a "monitor" setting that reduces low freqs when used as a floor monitor. Anyway, I'm just complaining. Just want to make sure if you are going to buy it, you know that, just like the original, it doesn't have a floor monitor angle. It does, however, sound great!

I'm impressed! Loud and clear in such a small package!

By Michael P. from CHICAGO, IL

I'm very impressed by these little 8" speakers. I would even venture to compare them to the QSC k10.2's that I've used in the past. In my testing thus far they get plenty loud for smaller setups. 100 cap events this works great for. From what I can hear they remain very clear even when pushing them a bit. I like the DSP functions and pairing this with the DXS12 is a no brainer for great low end. Though with the cross over turned off on this it still produces a really reasonable amount of low end for an 8" speaker. So far I'm loving these!
