Wherever your music may take you, YAMAHA DBR Series loudspeakers are up to the task of delivering powerful, high-quality sound with an unmatched economy of transport and setup time.
The YAMAHA DBR12 loudspeaker is housed in a newly designed, durable, lightweight cabinet optimised for Front of House duties, floor-monitoring and even rigged applications. Whether you’re powering your band’s live performance, DJ-ing a party, or MC-ing an event, be prepared for DBR Series speakers to take your performance to the next level.
o YAMAHA DBR12 ULTRA PRECISE DSP PROCESSING FOR HIGH DEFINITION SOUND
The DBR models feature Yamaha’s proprietary FIR-X tuning™ utilising linear phase FIR* filters for the crossover. FIR-X tuning™ simultaneously optimises 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 conventional crossovers. All signals are precisely processed by a high-performance processor for high-definition sound quality. All full-range models employ high-precision 24bit discrete A/D and D/A converters with superior S/N ratio and dynamic range.
The YAMAHA DBR12 simply sounds better than anything else in its class!
o YAMAHA DBR12 HIGH EFFICIENCY 1000W CLASS-D AMPLIFIER
The DBR12 features a compact but highly efficient Class-D amplifier that delivers class-leading sound output with 1000W of power. The power amplifier uses a switch-mode power supply that guarantees consistent performance worldwide along with an impressive SPL of up to 131dB.
o YAMAHA DBR12 INTELLIGENT DYNAMIC CONTROL FOR SUPERB CLARITY AT ANY OUTPUT LEVEL
D-CONTOUR is an intelligent multi-band compressor that gives you powerful and consistent sound throughout all output levels. Typically, a normal boosting mode adds a certain amount of EQ boost consistently, regardless of the output level.
D-CONTOUR works differently. By constantly monitoring the output of multiple frequency bands, DBR speakers calculate and dynamically apply the optimum EQ adjustments for each, maintaining outstanding clarity and musicality even at low or maximum SPL levels.
With the DBR Series, D-CONTOUR provides a more detailed tuning of your sound with two different settings: FOH/MAIN mode or MONITOR mod:
– 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.
– MONITOR mode is completely optimized for floor monitor application by intelligently taming down the low-frequency that builds up due to floor reflection to give you stunning clarity or monitoring your sound.
Both of these presets were perfected by performing countless listening tests with skilled sound engineers, giving you a multi-band compressor that performs dynamically, delivering consistent sound with minimal distortion at any output level.
o YAMAHA DBR12 EXTENSIVE DSP PROTECTION FUNCTIONS FOR MAXIMIMUM OUTPUT
In a typical system comprised of passive loudspeakers, power amps and signal processors, setting optimal parameters for each component can be a daunting task. One of the advantages of powered loudspeakers is that the combination of transducers and amps can be perfectly matched.
During the development of the DBR Series, YAMAHA measured and tested the durability of each transducer and the overall amp output through countless indoor and outdoor listening tests. This allowed YAMAHA to set the optimal limiter point using precise DSP control.
Further, 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.
o YAMAHA DBR12 CUSTOM DESIGNED TRANSDUCERS FOR HIGH DEFINITION SOUND
The YAMAHA DBR Series are all equipped with highly efficient Class-D amplifiers that were designed to their custom designed match HF and LF transducers and get the very best performance out of each model. Combined with customized speaker units, these high-performance amplifiers deliver the highest sound output in their class, producing up to 131dB SPL in the DBR12.
The high power output woofers deliver well-defined, powerful bass with minimal distortion, while the 1″ precision compression driver produces smooth and accurate mid-range and high frequencies.
o YAMAHA DBR12 WIDE DISPERSION CONSTANT DIRECTIVITY HORN
The extremely accurate constant directivity horn was designed with the goal of minimising the radiation pattern deterioration in oblique directions that other, more conventional horns are prone to. This can help to achieve a more ideal coverage area without irregularities. With Yamaha’s wide dispersion constant directivity horn, sound expands in a more rectangular pattern, evenly dispersing wide-frequency sound to the outer-most edges of the coverage area.
o YAMAHA DBR12 RUGGED HIGHLY PORTABLE CABINET
The YAMAHA DBR Series speakers all feature compact, lightweight, and durable high impact plastic cabinets which offers the highest level of portability of all Yamaha powered speakers. The sleek steel grill bolsters cabinet durability and protects the internal components while a newly designed ergonomic handles (one on top) provide effortless transportation and system setup. The lightweight design – only 10kgs – makes the YAMAHA DBR10 much easier to carry with one hand.
o YAMAHA DBR12 SMART ENCLOSURE DESIGN FOR FLOOR MONITORING
DBR Series speakers feature an optimised 50 degree wedge angle perfect for floor monitoring.
o YAMAHA DBR12 EASY TO USE 2 CHANNEL MIXER
DBR Series speakers have two input channels. 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 an RCA pin jack for input from CD players or other stereo line-level sources.
The on-board mixer allows you to select either CH1+2 MIX to mix the signal of CH1 and CH2, or CH1 THRU to pass the signal from CH1 only.
YAMAHA DBR12 RIGGING POINTS FOR INSTALLATION APPLICATIONS
DBR loudspeakers come equipped with M8 rigging threads, allowing for rigged applications with optional speaker brackets or standardised eye-bolts.
