Yamaha DHR12M

With DHR and CHR, Yamaha presents two new series of three active and passive sound reinforcement loudspeakers, respectively, positioned between the entry-level DBR/CBR series and the high-end DZR/CZR line, delivering professional results without straining the budget.

With three models of varying sizes, the new DHR - Series has the right loudspeaker for every conceivable application: a 10" model for fixed installations and utilities, a 12" model for use as a floor monitor, and a 15" version for FOH applications - all with custom transducers driven by DSP-equipped Class D power amplifiers that deliver impressive sound quality and clarity. Combined with practical features tailored to specific applications, the series gives you the flexibility to choose the ideal loudspeaker for a variety of sound environments.

The Yamaha DHR12M at a glance

The DHR12M is a 2-way bi-amp active loudspeaker featuring a 12" woofer and a 1.75" HF driver in a space-saving coaxial configuration perfect for use as a floor monitor. In doing so, it not only fills the gap between the largest and smallest models in Yamaha's new speaker series but also provides even more flexibility at the same time. As Yamaha's first dedicated floor monitor, it impresses with distortion-free and always perfectly phase-true levels of up to 129 dB, despite its low profile.

The DHR12M combines a 1000-watt amplifier and high-performance DSP with the same plywood construction used in Yamaha's high-end DZR speaker series to deliver premium sound quality and durability. In addition, the speaker is equalized using state-of-the-art DSP and offers two different frequency response presets for use as FoH PA or floor monitor. A switchable high-pass filter furthermore provides effective and intuitive bass management when used in difficult environments or for operation with additional subwoofers.

Ready for the Road

Yamaha, one of the leading manufacturers of professional sound reinforcement equipment for more than fifty years, is well aware that the rigours of the road are not for the faint-hearted. That's why the development of the new DHR/CHR loudspeakers was focused on maximum road capability and robust construction. The cabinets are made of solid plywood with an extremely resistant polyurea coating and, together with the sturdy speaker guards, ensure that the sound-rich speakers can withstand even hard impacts without complaint. All models of the CHR/DHR series have high-stand flanges, CHR15 and DHR15 are furthermore equipped with professional flying points.
