Powered Loudspeaker DXR15

Overview

The DXR15 achieves class-leading SPLs and full bandwidth

performance by combining a powerful Class-D amplifier with a high-
power woofer and Yamaha’s cutting edge technologies. Throw in some
D-CONTOUR and you’ll feel like you’re using a subwoofer.

Features

• Output levels up to 133dB SPL with 1100W of power

• Precise 48-bit DSP processing with Yamaha’s proprietry FIR-X tuning™ delivers high-definition sound
• D-CONTOUR intelligent multi-band dynamic processing delivers powerful, consistently high-quality sound at all output levels in FOH or
monitor applications
• Extensive DSP protection functions for maximum output
• Custom-designed transducers and top-quality components add up to unequalled performance
• Extremely accurate 90 x 60 constant directivity horn
• Intelligent onboard 3-channel mixer with flexible IN/OUT connectivity for versatile system integration
• Flexible HPF control allows optimum matching with DXS subwoofers
• Universal switching-mode power supply for world-wide use
• Durable, compact ABS enclosures
• Symmetrical enclosure design for mirror-mode floor monitoring

Architectural and Engineering Specifications

The Yamaha DXR15 Powered Loudspeaker shall be a two-way bass-reflex full-range loudspeaker system. The DXR15 shall incorporate a single
15" cone with a 2.5" voice coil for the low frequencies, and a 1.4" compression driver with a 1" throat for the high frequencies.
The loudspeaker shall incorporate a class-D amplifier (1100 watts dynamic/700 watts continuous) and DSP functions such as FIR-X tuning (linear
phase FIR filters) and D-CONTOUR (multi-band compression). The amplifier section of the loudspeaker shall have a universal power supply that
accepts AC line input from 100V to 240V at 50Hz or 60Hz, and shall be cooled by a 4-speed fan.
The DXR15 Powered Loudspeaker shall meet the following performance criteria: Maximum SPL shall be 133 dB SPL at 1 meter, frequency
response shall be 49 Hz to 20 kHz at 10 dB below rated sensitivity, the frequency dividing network shall have a crossover frequency of 2.1 kHz,
and the nominal coverage angle shall be 90° horizontal and 60° vertical via a constant directivity horn.
The loudspeaker shall include mixing functionality and have one XLR3-31 connector, two phone jacks, and two RCA pin jacks for input. It shall
have one XLR3-32 connector for “thru” output and one XLR3-32 connector for “link” output. The cabinet shall be constructed of ABS and have
aluminum die-cast handles. The loudspeaker shall have threaded mounting points for M10 eyebolts (top x 2, rear x 1) and a 35 mm pole socket
with a two-way feature (0 or 7 degrees). Optional UB-DXR15 U-Brackets shall be available for rigging. Dimensions shall be 445 (W) x 700 (H) x
380 (D) mm. Weight shall be no more than 22.5 kg.
