The Yamaha DHR12 speaker stands out for its bi-amplified design, which provides precise frequency separation and faithful sound reproduction. The 12-inch woofer and 1-inch HF driver work together to deliver powerful bass and detailed highs, ideal for applications ranging from PA to fixed installations. Its Class D amp ensures maximum efficiency while minimizing heat dissipation, allowing prolonged use without overheating.

It is equipped with custom transducers designed to provide optimal performance. The high-power woofer delivers well-defined bass with minimal distortion, while the 1-inch compression driver produces precise mid and high frequencies. This level of detail in transducer design ensures that the DHR12 can deliver a high-quality, immersive audio experience, whatever the application.

The Yamaha DHR12 uses proprietary FIR-X technology, which combines linear phase FIR filters and equalization correction to minimize phase distortion. This advanced technology ensures optimized frequency and phase response, providing exceptional sound clarity. Built-in DSP processing further improves sound quality by precisely adjusting audio parameters in real time.

For consistent sound performance across the board, the Yamaha DHR12 features the D-Contour system. This intelligent multi-band compressor automatically adjusts EQ based on output, ensuring clear, powerful sound even at high volume. FOH/Main and Monitor modes allow settings to be customized based on the application, providing additional flexibility to meet specific user needs.

The robustness of the Yamaha DHR12 is reinforced by its plywood cabinetry and polyurea coating. This material not only protects the speaker against scratches and bumps, but it also helps minimize unwanted vibrations, ensuring more accurate sound reproduction. Whether for temporary or permanent installations, the DHR12 offers remarkable durability.

The installation flexibility of the Yamaha DHR12 is another major advantage. Thanks to its rotating HF horn, the speaker can be mounted in a horizontal or vertical position, making it suitable for various environments. Additionally, anchor points allow secure attachment with eyebolts, while the dual well allows 0° or -7° tilt for optimal sound coverage.
