Yamaha DHR12M Powered Loudspeaker

The Yamaha DHR Series delivers superior sound reinforcement with exceptional durability, quality, and performance. Whether you're stepping up your sound system for the first time or upgrading to a professional level, the DHR Series is the ideal solution for various audio applications. The DHR12M is a 2 way bi amped powered loudspeaker featuring a 12 inch woofer and a 1.75 inch high frequency (HF) driver in a coaxial configuration. This speaker is perfect for floor monitoring and offers a compact, space saving design without sacrificing sound quality. Its durable plywood construction and polyurea coating ensure longevity, even in demanding environments.

The DHR12M features a 1000W class D amplifier, advanced DSP, and FIR-X tuning to minimise distortion and provide crystal clear sound. Designed with versatility in mind, it includes practical features such as a rotatable HF horn for optimal coverage, a pole socket for stand mounting, and rigging points for fixed installations. Whether you’re using it for live sound reinforcement, fixed installations, or monitoring, the DHR12M offers unmatched flexibility and performance for all professional audio environments.

Key Features:

• Coaxial Driver with Precise Phase and Frequency Response:
  The DHR12M’s coaxial driver ensures smooth phase alignment and uniform frequency response, making it ideal for monitoring applications. It provides consistent sound reproduction, even at high output levels.
• Durable Plywood Cabinet with Polyurea Coating:
  The speaker's robust plywood construction, combined with the scratch resistant polyurea coating, delivers longevity and minimal vibrations. This ensures clear sound reproduction and reliability in all environments.
• FIR-X Tuning for Linear Phase Filtering:
  Yamaha's proprietary FIR-X tuning delivers superior linear phase filtering, eliminating phase distortion. It provides a clean, accurate sound, even at high volumes, by optimising the frequency response.

Designed for Versatility:

The DHR12M is versatile, with features catering to a wide range of professional audio applications. Its compact size makes it ideal for floor monitoring, while its rigging points and pole socket allow easy integration into fixed installations or as a main speaker for sound reinforcement. With a rotatable HF horn, this speaker ensures optimal sound dispersion, whether used horizontally or vertically. The powerful 1000W class D amplifier ensures ample output power, while the onboard DSP allows for advanced sound control. Its high performance DSP includes custom EQ settings that further enhance the speaker’s adaptability in diverse sonic environments.

Built for Durability and Performance:

Durability is key to the DHR12M’s design. The plywood cabinet is not only lightweight but also robust, providing resistance to physical damage and vibration. The polyurea coating ensures the speaker maintains its professional appearance and resilience, even under tough conditions. Its fan cooled amplifier ensures that the speaker remains cool during long periods of use, preventing overheating and ensuring long term reliability. This makes the DHR12M perfect for both touring and permanent installations, giving you the peace of mind that your sound system will perform reliably, no matter the situation.

Audio Precision with DSP:

The DHR12M uses advanced DSP technology to provide superior sound quality. The onboard DSP ensures that the speaker delivers a perfectly tuned sound across a wide range of frequencies. The FIR-X tuning adds to this by offering a more precise, linear phase response, minimising phase distortion that often affects the clarity of sound in standard loudspeakers. This makes the DHR12M particularly suited for both front of house and monitoring applications, where clarity and precision are paramount. The 1000W amplifier works seamlessly with the DSP, providing consistent, clear output even at high volumes.
