Yamaha DZR12 Active Loudspeaker

Yamaha DZR12 — 2000W Bi-Amped Powered Loudspeaker for Pro PA

The Yamaha DZR12 is a 2-way bi-amped powered loudspeaker engineered for demanding live-sound and installed-PA applications. A 2000W Class-D amplifier drives a 12" LF driver and a 2" HF compression driver, producing a maximum SPL of 139dB across a 39Hz–20kHz frequency range. Yamaha pairs that output with sophisticated 96kHz DSP and Advanced FIR-X tuning for high-resolution sound with super-low latency from a single self-powered cabinet.

Advanced DSP and Custom-Designed Transducers

What separates the DZR12 from typical powered boxes is the depth of its onboard processing and driver design. The 96kHz DSP runs Advanced FIR-X tuning — FIR filtering combined with corrective EQ that minimizes phase distortion — alongside D-Contour, an intelligent multiband compressor with FOH/MAIN and MONITOR modes. The HF compression driver uses a 2" voice coil, titanium diaphragm, and neodymium magnet; the LF driver pairs a 3" voice coil with a cast-aluminum basket.

Key Specifications — Amplification, Drivers, and Connectivity

Every parameter below is documented in Yamaha's published specifications and confirmed by major retailers.

• Frequency Range: 39 Hz – 20 kHz — full-range coverage for vocals, instruments, and music playback
• Maximum SPL: 139 dB — high headroom for large rooms and outdoor stages
• Amplifier: 2000 W Class-D, bi-amped
• Drivers: 12" LF + 2" HF titanium compression driver — custom neodymium-magnet transducers
• Inputs: XLR/TRS combo with microphone-level support
• DSP: 96 kHz, Advanced FIR-X, D-Contour, PEQ, delay, routing via LCD
• Coverage: 90° × 60° rotatable constant-directivity horn
• Cabinet: plywood with premium-grade polyurea coating — lightweight, road-tough, black or white

Touring Engineers, Mobile DJs, and Fixed Installations

This powered loudspeaker is the right choice for sound engineers, rental companies, and mobile DJs who need a self-powered 12" cabinet that handles FOH mains, side-fill, or floor-monitor duty without external processing. Touring bands benefit from the 139dB headroom and D-Contour MONITOR mode. Houses of worship, conference halls, and club installations get a rotatable horn, dual-angle pole-mount socket, and optional U-bracket rigging, while the plywood-and-polyurea cabinet survives daily transport. Pairs naturally with the DXS XLF subwoofer line for systems that need to reach below 39Hz.

Yamaha DZR Series — Flagship Powered Loudspeakers

The DZR12 sits at the heart of Yamaha's flagship DZR powered-loudspeaker series, the company's first fully integrated, smart/editable professional speaker range. Yamaha drew on decades of sound-reinforcement and signal-processing expertise to deliver best-in-class SPL performance in a compact, lightweight design.
