Touring Intelligence
in Portable Loudspeakers
Our transducers, power amplifiers, enclosures and precise,
detailed management of signal processing all contribute to
produce our stunning high-definition sound. Utilizing our
proprietary 48bit Digital Signal Processing, fully customized,
premium-grade transducers and extremely accurate constant
directivity horn, each full-range model is designed to ensure that
the entire audience enjoys the same crystal-clear highs, throbbing
bass and focused mids.
High Definition Sound Ultimate Power Outstanding Reliability Unrivaled Versatility
Yamaha’s next-generation high-efficiency Class-D power
amplifiers deliver extremely high output levels, with very low
distortion and incredibly natural sound from their compact and
lightweight modules. Combined with rugged, non-resonant
enclosures, custom designed high power handling transducers
and formidable DSP, each speaker delivers class-leading SPL
while retaining all the precise dynamics and clarity of the original
sound.
Yamaha’s mastery of DSP utilization extends beyond sonic
control, offering total management of the ongoing signal inside
the system. Tour-proven, fail-safe protection functions ensure
that the power supply, power amplifier and transducers all
perform at their maximum potential even after extended
durations of usage in the most severe conditions. Housed in
sturdy, road-tested enclosures with heavy-duty steel grilles, each
speaker promises enduring reliability you can count on.
Our durable, lightweight enclosures weren’t designed just to look
great; their versatile, compact design offers superior functionality
in front-of-house, floor monitoring and installed applications. Every
aspect of their physical design, from dimensions and shape, to
rigging options and the accessibility of components attached to
the enclosure, allows them to adapt seamlessly to countless
sound reinforcement applications.
Ever since we first started developing professional audio equipment in the 1960’s, we’ve made it our goal
to stay at the forefront of the technology curve. Drawing on decades of experience as a true industry innovator,
we don’t merely utilize cutting-edge technologies—we create them. With the express purpose of making the
most powerful and reliable high-resolution speakers possible, we assembled a specialized team of Yamaha’s
most skilled engineers to examine, and improve on, every detail of loudspeaker design.
This passion for innovation served as the impetus for an intensive collaboration with loudspeaker giant NEXO,
adding their insight and expertise as an industry leader in touring-grade sound reinforcement to the development of
our DSR, DXR and DXS Series speakers. As a result of working closely with NEXO’s engineers at
their state-of-the-art facility, our team adopted a new approach to several crucial aspects of these speakers’ design.
The detailed analysis of the transducers, thorough testing of the enclosure’s acoustic properties and optimized limiter
setting all contributed to higher SPL delivered with stunning clarity and an unsurpassed level of reliability.
This collaboration had a profound effect on Yamaha’s speaker design philosophy in general,
and ultimately contributed to the development of the new DBR Series.
By incorporating touring-grade technology into these speakers, we’ve succeeded in creating the most powerful and
dependable high-performance, powered loudspeakers...ever.
