Yamaha DHR12M 1000W 12-Inch Powered Loudspeaker

The Yamaha DHR12M 1000W 12-Inch Powered Loudspeaker is a 2-way bi-amp powered loudspeaker with a 12-inch woofer and a 1.75-inch HF driver in a space-saving coaxial configuration, perfect for use as a floor monitor. Combining a 1000W amplifier and high-performance DSP with the same plywood construction found on Yamaha’s high-end DZR Series, the DHR12M offers best-in-class sound quality and durability.

Cabinet Designs Optimized for a Range of Audio Environments

The 12-inch model is the first Yamaha speaker to feature a coaxial compression driver for improved clarity and smoother frequency response for floor monitoring. It is an ideal solution for anyone ready to step up their sound reinforcement game to a new level of professional quality, accuracy, and performance. The premium plywood cabinet finished in a tough polyurea coating provides durability not found on other loudspeakers in this class.

Ultra-Precise DSP Processing for High-Definition Sound

It features Yamaha's proprietary FIR-X tuning utilizing linear phase FIR filters for the crossover network. The FIR-X tuning simultaneously optimizes frequency and phase response while adjusting the time alignment between the HF and LF transducers. This creates a very smooth response around the crossover point, providing much better clarity and imaging than what is possible with typical crossovers. All signals are precisely processed by a high-performance processor for high definition sound quality. It employ high-precision 24bit discrete A/D and D/A converters with superior S/N ratio and dynamic range.

Intelligent Dynamic Control for Consistent Clarity at Any Output Level

The D-Contour is an intelligent multi-band compressor that gives you powerful and consistent sound throughout all output levels. By constantly monitoring the output of multiple frequency bands and calculating the optimum EQ adjustments for each, even the maximum sound output maintains outstanding clarity and musicality. The D-Contour provides a more detailed tuning of your sound with two different settings: FOH/Main mode or Monitor mode.

Ergonomics

The FOH/Main mode boosts low-frequency to compensate for low-end that is typically missing when speakers are used in suspended applications or mounted on a speaker stand. The Monitor mode is completely optimized for monitor application by intelligently taming down the low-frequency, smoothing out a wide range of frequency bands to give you stunning clarity for monitoring your sound. Both of these presets were perfected by performing countless listening tests with skilled sound engineers, giving you a multi-band compressor that performs dynamically, delivering consistent sound with low distortion at any output level.

Extensive DSP Protection Functions for Maximum Output

In a typical system comprising passive loudspeakers, power amps and signal processors, trying to set optimal parameters for each component can be a daunting task. One of the advantages of this active loudspeaker is that the combination of transducers and amps can be perfectly optimized. A microprocessor and high-power DSP monitor the status of the power supply, power amplifiers, transducers and ongoing signals to protect all aspects of each component. As a result, this speakers can perform to its full potential while ensuring reliable operation in even the most severe conditions.

High-Efficiency 1000W Class-D Amplifiers

The DHR’s lightweight, high performance Class-D amplifier is capable of producing up to 1000W of power, achieving an SPL of 131 dB (DHR15), delivered with remarkable clarity and dynamic characteristics.

Easy-to-Use Onboard 2-Channel Mixer

DHR Series speakers have two input channels. The CH1 has a combo jack which accepts both XLR and TRS Phone allowing for either Mic or Line level input signals. CH2 offers two input options; a combo jack that accepts XLR or TRS Phone, and a pair of RCA pin Jacks for input from CD players or other stereo line-level sources. The onboard mixer allows you to select either CH1+2 MIX to mix the signal of CH1 and CH2, or CH1 THRU to pass the signal from CH1 only.
