Power, Performance, and Easy System Integration

The Yamaha DZR15 offers superb clarity and best-in-class SPL performance. This 2-way bi-amped PA speaker boasts a high-power 2,000-watt Class D amplifier, a 34Hz–20kHz frequency range, and can tackle any application you throw at it. Sophisticated DSP processing yields high-resolution sound with super-low latency, while optimized presets and an intuitive LCD display make dialing in your settings a piece of cake. As a powered PA speaker, the DZR15 integrates with any configuration. It can also operate effectively as a stage monitor. The DZR15 employs a lightweight, yet durable, plywood cabinet with a premium-grade polyurea coating.

Sophisticated DSP processing

At Sweetwater, we're impressed by the DZR15's intelligent DSP processing. Yamaha's Advanced FIR-X tuning employs a combination of FIR filtering and corrective EQ to minimize phase distortion, ensuring smooth frequency response, stunning clarity, and accurate sound imaging. D-Contour is an intelligent multiband compressor that maintains the ultimate in clarity, even when you push the DZR15 to its highest output level. D-Contour features two settings, FOH/MAIN and MONITOR mode, allowing you to fine-tune the DZR15's sound based on your application. You also get DSP protection that safeguards your power supply, power amplifiers, and transducers against damage. Despite all this powerful DSP, the DZR15 remains easy to use, thanks to optimized factory presets and an intuitive LCD screen.

Custom-designed transducers

The Yamaha DZR15 is loaded with great-sounding, custom-designed transducers. Its high-frequency transducer includes a 2-inch voice coil and 1-inch throat compression driver, a titanium diaphragm, and neodymium magnet housed in a heat-resistant aluminum-cast frame. Its low-frequency transducer uses a large 3-inch voice coil, cast-aluminum frame, and powerful, yet lightweight, neodymium magnet to handle the chest-thumping low end that the DZR15 delivers. The DZR15 isn't just all about power, however. Its low-end response is tightly controlled, especially in the mid-bass and vocal range, assuring crystal-clear sound reproduction — even at cranked volumes.

Smart, ultra-flexible design

The DZR15 integrates with any configuration, thanks to its ultra-flexible design. Its rotatable horn allows vertical or horizontal mounting. Benefit from a 90x50° dispersion from a vertical position. Enjoy smooth, level coverage, by virtue of the DZR15's constant directivity horn — its innovative design minimizes the roll-off that conventional horns often produce.

High-power Class D amplifier

Loaded with 2,000 watts of Class D power, the Yamaha DZR15 is a beast. It delivers an impressive 139dB SPL, so go ahead and crank it up — the DZR15 can take it. Enjoy maximum power, along with stable, worry-free operation, thanks to a universal switching mode power supply. Beyond that, this amp was optimized to match the DZR15's transducers, ensuring top-tier sound quality.

Best Portable I Ever Owned

I need an all around speaker that can handle the bass frequencies of the Roland TDK17 and these Yamaha DZR 15" speakers does it better than any other portable speaker brands out there. There is NO other 15" portable speaker made that can get this tone. Some can but they just seem to be a little short of getting that certain sound and feel of the bass tone of the DZR. It sounds like there are subs included. The 2" drive is a MAJOR PLUS! Just a super well designed and engineered product. Yamaha did a great job on the DZR 15's!!

Outdoor DZR15s Do The Trick

Our church was forced outside due to the virus hitting the world. For the past two months, we've had parking lot church with between 100 and 200 people in attendance. The space is around 100' deep and 200' wide with folks seated in an arc around the entrance "stage". We set up a pair of DZR15's roughly 30' to each side facing slightly out and raised 6' to the base of the speakers to get over folks heads. Directly beside the church is a highway with trucks, bikes, and cars passing by (40MPH) as we hold our service. The result? We've been asked if we can bring the system into the sanctuary! Folks marvel at how clear, full, powerful the sound is as they can hear it easily at three times the seating distance without any problems (even with the traffic noise). Vocals, guitars, bass, keyboard, amplified electrics, you name it, everything sounds fantastic. We get great bottom end without subs. The mid/high range is incredibly clear. We love these things.

I'm not using any of the presets as our mixer has it's own EQ on the outputs allowing me to run them flat. I do have a +6dB bump on the inputs to get more headroom. We've never run loud enough to hit the limiters. Volume is above the congregations singing enough to be heard but, not so much as to deafen anyone. Again, these are great speakers.

At a concert for another group this last week, we got tons of complements from the younger crowd (18-22 year olds). The administration at the college said they were really impressed by out sound, how easy it was to set up, and the amount of sound we were able to push with just a pair of speakers. Again, keyboard, box drum, bass, and acoustic with a male/female vocal pair.

I lift these up on the speaker tripod by myself. At 53lbs, they are manageable (and I'm almost 60 years old!).

Love these speakers. Not sure I'll ever need subs as I never play the insanely loud EDM or head banger stuff - I like my hearing.

SImply WOW WOW WOW

Purchased 2 x of the Yamaha DZR15s after renting the DSR series for a year these are definitely a step up to what was already excellent speakers. Crystal clear sound, I have them in a small room at home when I play these at low and mid volumes they are clear and sound fantastic.I still have not cranked up the volume yet but from what I heard testing at home I can't wait for my Summer outdoor gigs.No longer need a sub for small gigs plenty of nice sounding bass
These speakers are big and slightly heavy but seems to be not as heavy as the DSR115 but i think they will be worth carrying the weight it feels like you taking a tank to a knife fight. My only con is that i don't like the material on the front grill

WARNING / Speaker Pole mount Holes .

I have tried two different pole mounting stands w 35mm inserts on the Yamaha DZR15 powered speaker / the speaker wobbles ALOT its very dangerous .. Its the design flaw inside on the mounting holes .. The holes are (splined) on the speaker so you would need to have splined inserts on the poles. The pole mounts on the Yamaha DXS15XLF subwoofer are mounting pole sockets are 35mm holes and the poles dangerously wobble and the mounting holes are not splined. What they need is the Same design of a car axle sliding into the wheel bearing its splined. This needs to be done on the Yamaha DZR speaker and DXS 15XLF subwoofer Its a major accident waiting to happen / Im going to a machine shop to see if we can create a solution.
