YAMAHA DHR12

The DHR12 is a 2-way bi-amp powered loudspeaker equipped with a 12-inch woofer and a 1.4-inch HF driver, perfect for use as a main or utility speaker. Combining a 1000W amplifier and high-performance DSP with the same plywood construction found on Yamaha’s high-end DZR Series, the DHR12 offers best-in-class sound quality and durability.

• Featuring a plywood cabinet that delivers a clear sound with minimal vibration
• Plywood enclosure with a polyurea coating for a robust, scratch resistant surface
• Compact size despite the 12-inch LF driver that provides excellent low frequency response
• Can be installed in a horizontal or vertical configuration with a rotatable HF horn offering the flexibility needed for installation in a wide range of environments
• Optional UB-DXRDHR12 U-bracket allows both for vertical or horizontal use
• Dual-angle pole sockets offer both 0° or a -7° down tilt
• Rigging points for use with eye bolts
• Proprietary FIR-X™ tuning, provides FIR filtering and corrective EQ, minimizing phase distortion

Performance. Optimized.

The DHR Series offers an ideal solution for anyone ready to step up their sound reinforcement game to a new level of professional quality, accuracy, and performance. Premium plywood cabinets finished in a tough polyurea coating provide durability not found on other loudspeakers in this class.

Each model in the series has been optimized to meet the demands of a variety of sound reinforcement applications, with DHR10 and DHR12 for fixed installation and utilities, DHR12M and DHR15M designed for use as floor monitors, and DHR15 for FOH applications—all featuring custom transducers driven by DSP-equipped class-D power amplifiers to deliver stunning sound quality and clarity. Combined with practical features adapted for their specific applications, this series gives you the flexibility to choose the ideal speaker for a wide variety of sonic environments. Isn’t it time you audition DHR quality and performance to improve your sound?

Cabinet designs optimized for a range of audio environments

The DHR Series features a comprehensive lineup of powered loudspeakers with cabinets optimized to meet the demands of specific applications. DHR10 and DHR12 are equipped with rotating horns and a dedicated U-bracket for use in fixed installations and utility, while DHR12M and DHR15M feature a coaxial compression driver for improved clarity and smoother frequency response for floor monitoring. The series is rounded out by DHR15, which features rigging points for use in fixed installations. DHR12 and DHR15 also feature dual-angle pole sockets, allowing them to be used as temporary main speakers for sound reinforcement.

Custom Designed Transducers

The high power output woofers deliver well-defined, powerful bass with minimal distortion, while the 1.4” precision compression driver* produces accurate mid-range and high frequencies.

A Rugged, Highly Portable Cabinet

The DHR series feature plywood enclosures like our acclaimed DZR loudspeakers to deliver outstanding durability and acoustic performance.

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 active loudspeakers is that the combination of transducers and amps can be perfectly optimized. During the development of the DZR, DXR mkII, DHR, DBR and DXS series, we measured and tested the durability of each transducer and the overall amp output through countless indoor and outdoor listening tests. Based on the test results, we were able to set the optimal limiter point for each model using precise DSP control.

In addition to the optimal limiting, our speakers employ many of the same protection functions used in our top-class PC-D Series professional power amplifiers. 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, these speakers can perform to their full potential while ensuring reliable operation in even the most severe conditions.

High-Efficiency 1000W Class-D Amplifiers

Yamaha DHR Series: 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

Yamaha DHR Series: Easy-to-use Onboard 2-Channel Mixer

DHR Series speakers have two input channels. 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.

Dual-Angle Pole Mount Socket (DHR15, DHR12)

Depending on the venue, sometimes your mix can fall prey to low ceilings or other room attributes that can impede a clear, even mix and detract from the audiences' listening experience significantly. The DHR15 and DHR12's pole mount socket offers two positions - 0° or -7° - to direct the acoustic energy away from reflective surfaces and on to your audience where it belongs.
