Product details
Powerful 12-inch Performance with Installation-Grade Flexibility
The Yamaha DHR12 combines 1,000 W Class-D bi-amplification, a high-grade plywood enclosure and Yamaha’s precision DSP in a versatile 12-inch powered loudspeaker. With 130 dB maximum SPL, a rotatable 90° × 60° horn and flexible mounting provisions, it is built for articulate front-of-house sound, fills and permanent installations.
Professional Performance, Precisely Controlled
1,000 W Bi-Amplified Power
A dedicated Class-D amplifier supplies 800 W to the 12-inch low-frequency driver and 200 W to the high-frequency section for clean, efficient output up to 130 dB SPL.
Strong Full-Range Response
The 12-inch woofer extends response down to 48 Hz, delivering a confident balance of low-frequency authority, vocal definition and compact dimensions.
Rotatable 90° × 60° Horn
The high-frequency horn can be rotated to preserve the intended dispersion pattern in either vertical or horizontal installation.
FIR-X Tuning
Yamaha’s linear-phase FIR processing and corrective EQ optimise the crossover region for a smooth, coherent response and consistent clarity.
Application-Focused DSP
D-CONTOUR provides FOH/Main and monitor voicings, while selectable 100 Hz and 120 Hz high-pass filters simplify powered-subwoofer integration.
Integrated 2-Channel Mixer
Combo inputs accommodate microphones and line sources, Channel 2 adds stereo RCA connectivity, and the XLR output can carry a parallel or mixed signal.
Built for Reliable Installation and Portable Use
The rigid plywood enclosure controls cabinet vibration and is protected by a durable black polyurea coating. Dual 35 mm pole sockets provide 0° or -7° positioning, while M10 rigging points and the optional Yamaha UB-DXRDHR12 U-bracket support professional fixed installations.
Ideal Applications
- Front-of-house reinforcement for bands, DJs, presentations and events
- Fixed installations in houses of worship, auditoriums, hospitality and education spaces
- Delay, side-fill and distributed loudspeaker systems
- Portable systems requiring plywood construction, strong output and controlled coverage
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the DHR12 be installed horizontally?
Yes. The cabinet supports vertical or horizontal installation, and its 90° × 60° high-frequency horn can be rotated to keep the coverage pattern correctly oriented.
Does the DHR12 require an external amplifier?
No. It is a powered loudspeaker with an integrated 1,000 W dynamic Class-D bi-amplifier.
Can a microphone be connected directly?
Yes. Channel 1 accepts microphone or line-level signals through its XLR/TRS combo input. An external mixer is recommended for larger systems or multiple sources.
Can it be used with a subwoofer?
Yes. Switchable 100 Hz and 120 Hz high-pass filters make integration with a powered subwoofer straightforward.
Are the mounting bracket and eyebolts included?
No. The Yamaha UB-DXRDHR12 U-bracket and suitable M10 eyebolts are optional accessories sold separately.
