The Yamaha DXR12 is a discontinued 12-inch 2-way powered loudspeaker that was a popular and reliable solution for a variety of sound reinforcement needs, including live performances, events, and permanent installations. Known for its impressive power output and advanced digital signal processing (DSP), the DXR12 provided high-definition sound and robust performance in a compact, durable enclosure.
Key Features
  • High-Efficiency Power: The speaker was equipped with an 1100W (dynamic) Class-D amplifier, delivering an impressive maximum SPL of up to 132dB.
  • Advanced DSP: It utilized Yamaha’s proprietary FIR-X tuning for a smooth frequency response and clear imaging around the crossover point, as well as D-CONTOUR, an intelligent multi-band compressor with switchable FOH/MAIN and MONITOR modes to optimize sound quality at any output level.
  • Integrated 3-Channel Mixer: The DXR12 featured an onboard mixer with versatile input options (XLR, 1/4″ phone, RCA) and individual level controls, allowing for direct connection of multiple sources like microphones and instruments without an external mixer.
  • Durable and Versatile Design: Housed in a rugged, non-resonant ABS enclosure with a steel grille and aluminum handles, it was designed for portability and road-readiness. It also featured a dual-angle pole mount socket (0° or 7° tilt) and M10 rigging points for flexible mounting.
  • Extensive Protection Circuitry: Microprocessors monitored the power supply, amplifiers, and drivers for any potential issues like overheating or overloading, ensuring reliable operation in demanding conditions.
