The Yamaha CBR15 is a 15-inch, 2-way passive loudspeaker, part of Yamaha’s CBR series. Unlike the DBR series, which are active (powered) speakers, CBR speakers are passive, meaning they require an external power amplifier to function. It is designed for applications like live sound reinforcement, DJ events, and installations.
Features and technology
Custom-designed transducers: The CBR15 features a 15-inch woofer and a 1.4-inch compression driver for high-definition sound with minimal distortion.
Wide-dispersion constant directivity horn: The CBR series uses a horn design that disperses sound evenly over a wide frequency range to the outer edges of the coverage area.
HF-protection circuit: An internal HF-protection circuit prevents excessive input signals from damaging the high-frequency tweeter, ensuring reliable performance at high output levels.
Highly portable enclosure: The compact, durable, and lightweight plastic cabinet features ergonomic handles for easy transport and setup.
Smart floor monitor design: The cabinet has an optimized 50° wedge angle, allowing it to be used as a floor monitor.
Simple connectivity: The speaker is equipped with both speakON and 1/4″ phone jacks for quick and easy connection to an amplifier.
Rigging points for installation: For rigged applications, the CBR15 includes M8 rigging points.
