Yamaha DXR12mkII Powered Speaker
Overview
The Yamaha DXR12mkII is a 12-inch powered loudspeaker that brings Yamaha's decades of professional audio expertise to a portable format, delivering studio-monitor accuracy and reliability that has made it a trusted choice for touring musicians, rental companies, and installed sound systems. The speaker produces 1100 watts of bi-amplified power through a 12-inch neodymium woofer and a 1.4-inch high-frequency compression driver with a constant directivity horn providing consistent 90-degree by 60-degree coverage. Yamaha's FIR-X tuning uses linear-phase FIR filters for the crossover, resulting in remarkably smooth, phase-coherent sound with precise stereo imaging that reveals details often lost in conventional powered speakers. The intelligent three-band EQ with D-Contour processing provides quick tonal adjustment, and selectable presets for FOH main, FOH speech, monitor, and external subwoofer modes optimize performance for different deployment scenarios. The birch plywood enclosure provides superior acoustic resonance characteristics compared to plastic cabinets, contributing to a warmer, more natural sound, while the durable polyurea coating protects against impacts and weather. M8 suspension points and an M20 pole mount provide flexible rigging options. The DXR12mkII is ideal for professional musicians, sound engineers, and venues that prioritize sonic accuracy and premium build quality. The heavier weight due to the plywood construction and the higher price point require a greater investment in both budget and transportation compared to lighter plastic alternatives.
