Yamaha DXR12 MK2 1100W 12'' Active Speaker

The DXR12 mkII is an upgraded version of the DXR12, which is known for its combination of raw power and technological innovation that delivers high output with superior quality and clarity. The new model features even more SPL and a larger, lighter 1.75” Neodymium HF compression driver for clear voice reproduction and musicality. The DXR12 MKII is suitable for various applications such as front-of-house sound, monitors, simple amplification, rigged applications, and more. The compact and versatile design, together with the option to combine with DXS subwoofers, allows for versatile control of bottom-end frequencies. The DXR12 mkII is suitable for various applications, and known for its balance of power and innovation, delivering the full power of the performance to the audience.

The DXR12 mkII was developed in collaboration with touring loudspeaker specialists NEXO, who provided valuable insight and expertise that led to design improvements based on the evolving demands of sound reinforcement professionals. Whether for fixed or mobile live performances, the DXR12 mk2 is versatile and can handle any direction of sound. It combines raw power with proprietary advanced DSP functions for reliability and outstanding clarity, and offers even more than what's expected from the previous DXR Series. With its versatile design, it's suitable for various applications, such as fixed installations, live performances, and any other situation where high-quality and powerful sound reinforcement is needed. The speaker's advanced technology and design make it a reliable and outstanding choice for professional sound reinforcement.

The DXR12 mkII  features custom-designed transducers that have been meticulously selected and customized to deliver ultimate performance. The high power output woofers have low distortion and deep bass, while the larger, yet lighter 1.75” Neodymium precision HF compression drivers produce accurate midrange and high frequencies up to 20 kHz. The speakers also feature a wide dispersion constant directivity horn, designed to minimize radiation pattern deterioration in oblique directions. This horn creates a more rectangular coverage pattern of 90° horizontal x 60° vertical and projects wide-frequency sound to the edges of the coverage area, achieving a more ideal coverage area without irregularities. This design ensures that sound is delivered evenly across the entire coverage area, providing consistent sound quality for the audience. The custom-designed transducers and the horn work together to deliver outstanding performance and clarity, making the DXR12 mk2 suitable for any professional live sound reinforcement applications.

The development team of the DXR12 mkII used a number of advanced digital technologies based on Yamaha's extensive experience in developing professional audio equipment. These technologies include detailed management of crossover, EQ, and time alignment, as well as limiter settings, protection functions, and precise dynamic control of the sound. The speakers were subject to extensive simulation, in-house, and field testing to ensure they produce the highest level of sound quality at the highest output levels possible. The speakers also use Yamaha's advanced analog signal processing and acoustic technologies, resulting in the "Power of D" which delivers ultimate performance. The use of advanced digital technologies and the integration of analog signal processing and acoustic technologies results in speakers that are capable of producing high-quality, high-resolution sound that is suitable for even the most demanding professional live sound reinforcement applications.

The DXR12 MK2 features Yamaha's proprietary FIR-X tuningâ„¢, which utilizes linear phase FIR filters for the crossover network. This technology optimizes frequency and phase response while adjusting the time alignment between the HF and LF transducers, resulting in a smooth response around the crossover point and improved clarity and imaging. The speakers also feature a high-performance 48-bit (76-bit accumulator) processor for high-definition sound quality and use high-precision 24-bit discrete A/D and D/A converters with superior S/N ratio and dynamic range. These advanced technologies work together to ensure that the speakers produce high-quality sound with minimal distortion and excellent transient response, making them ideal for professional live sound reinforcement applications. The DXR mkII Series speakers are designed to deliver outstanding performance and are suitable for a wide range of applications, from fixed installations to mobile live performances.

In summary, the DXR mkII Series powered loudspeakers are upgraded models of the DXR series, known for their combination of raw power and technological innovation that deliver high output with superior quality and clarity. The new models feature even more SPL, a larger, lighter 1.75” Neodymium HF compression driver, and various advanced technologies such as custom-designed transducers, FIR-X tuning, and D-CONTOUR. These speakers are suitable for various live sound applications, including front-of-house sound, monitors, simple amplification, and rigged applications, and are developed in collaboration with touring loudspeaker specialists NEXO to meet the ever-evolving demands of sound reinforcement professionals.
