There is a boost option for boosting bass and treble for use as a main PA, a bass cut with treble boost for use as a monitor for clean audio on stage and a flat/off option. there is also the addition of a HPF (High Pass Filter) to allow for use with a subwoofer and to ease off low end bass frequencies that may cause an issue.

High-Efficiency 1000W Class-D Amplifier

Despite its more compact design the Yamaha DBR12 is fitted with a powerful 1000w Class-D Amplifier for the ultimate power and clarity. Matched perfectly with the internal speaker, the amplifier can produce 131dB SPL which is plenty of power for many venues, conferences, churches and whatever situation you may be looking for a quality amplified sound

Digital Audio Processing On-Board : D-Contour

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. With the DBR12, D-CONTOUR provides a more detailed tuning of your sound with two different settings: FOH/ MAIN mode or MONITOR mode. 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.

Smart Cabinet Design

Yamaha have designed the cabinet of the DBR12 not only to be rugged, but it is designed with a special angular face so it can be used on the floor at an angle as the ideal monitor speaker. there is even a switch on the rear to optimise the speaker for use as a monitor, making the sound even cleaner so the artist can hear the sound more accurately and to reduce bass booming on the stage.
