Yamaha DHR12 - 1000W Powered Speaker

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.

Yamaha DHR12 Main Features

• 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 deg or a -7 deg down tilt
• Rigging points for use with eye bolts
• Proprietary FIR-X tuning, provides FIR filtering and corrective EQ, minimizing phase distortion

Wooden Cabinet Design For Enhanced Sound And Build Quality

The wooden cabinet of the Yamaha DHR speakers is based around the design of the flagship DZR speakers, and despite being a little heavier than the moulded cabinets of the DBR and DXR, the reduced resonance of the frame and rigidity, offers a distinctly richer tone with a tighter sound.

DHR12 - In-Built 2-Channel Mixer

The Yamaha DHR12 has two input channels on the rear panel. 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.

Powerful 1000w Bi-Amplified System

The DHR12's lightweight, high performance Class-D amplifier is capable of producing up to 1000W of power, achieving an SPL of 131 dB. Despite its large power output there is no sacrifice of quality with intelligent system ensuring maximum quality at all output levels.

Built-In Protection

One of the advantages of DHR active loudspeakers is that the combination of transducers and amps has been perfectly optimized. During the development of the DHR series, the durability of each transducer was tested, and the overall amp output through countless indoor and outdoor listening tests. Based on the test results, Yamaha were able to set the optimal limiter point for each model using precise DSP control.

In addition to the optimal limiting, DHR speakers employ many of the same protection functions used in the 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.

Ultra Precision DSP Processing

The DHR12 uses Yamaha's proprietary FIR-X tuning, utilizing linear phase FIR filters for the crossover network. 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.
