Yamaha DXR12 MKII Powered Loudspeaker for Live Sound

The Yamaha DXR12 MKII is a 12" 2-way bi-amped powered loudspeaker engineered for live sound applications demanding wide bandwidth and high resolution. This model is the right choice for working musicians, mobile DJs, and small-to-mid venue operators who need a single cabinet for front-of-house, floor monitoring, or instrument amplification. With 1100W of dynamic Class-D power and 134 dB maximum SPL, it delivers full-bandwidth output from a compact ABS enclosure.

FIR-X DSP, D-CONTOUR Dynamics, and NEXO-Tuned Components

What separates this cabinet from generic powered boxes is Yamaha's proprietary FIR-X tuning, which uses linear-phase FIR filters to align phase and time between HF and LF transducers for smoother crossover response. D-CONTOUR acts as an intelligent multi-band compressor with FOH/MAIN and MONITOR presets, keeping tone consistent whether the box sits on a pole or lies on stage as a wedge.

Specifications That Translate to Real-World Performance

Every spec on this cabinet maps directly to what a working player hears at a gig, from low-end weight to amplifier headroom.

• Frequency Range: 52 Hz – 20 kHz — covers vocals, guitars, and kick drums without a sub in smaller rooms
• Maximum SPL: 134 dB from Dynamic Power: 1100 W (700 W continuous) Class-D bi-amped stage
• LF Driver: 12" with HF Driver: 1.75" Neodymium compression driver on a Horn: 90° x 60°
• Inputs: XLR mic/line, 1/4" TRS, RCA through a built-in 3-Channel Mixer with auto HPF on the mic channel
• EQ: D-CONTOUR plus switchable HPF (100/120 Hz); Pole Mount: dual-angle 0° / 7°; Weight: 18.6 kg in a non-resonant ABS enclosure

Built for Touring Bands, Mobile DJs, and Small Venues

This cabinet is the right choice for solo performers, duos, and full bands who need a single powered speaker that moves between front-of-house and floor-monitor duty without re-patching. Mobile DJs benefit from LINK MODE for stereo from a single feed, while the integrated microphone input with auto HPF makes it a self-contained announcement system for events and worship spaces. Pairing it with a DXS12mkII sub extends the low end for larger rooms and DJ sets.

Yamaha DXR Series: A Collaboration with NEXO

The DXR Series has long signified raw power and technological innovation, and the MKII generation adds more SPL while reducing weight through a larger, lighter 1.75" Neodymium HF compression driver. Yamaha's team collaborated with touring loudspeaker specialists NEXO, whose insight drove improvements in transducer design, voicing, and protection circuitry.
