Product details
Exceptional 139 dB Output with Versatile 12-inch Performance
The Yamaha DZR12 combines the speed and definition of a premium 12-inch transducer with extraordinary professional output. Its 2,000 W Class-D amplifier, 96 kHz DSP, Advanced FIR-X tuning and robust plywood enclosure deliver authoritative full-range sound for front-of-house, high-output monitoring, fills and permanent installations.
High-Resolution Sound at Professional Levels
2,000 W Class-D Amplification
The bi-amplified power module provides exceptional headroom and transient response, enabling a remarkable maximum output of 139 dB SPL.
Premium 12-inch Neodymium Woofer
A 3-inch voice coil and neodymium motor deliver controlled low-frequency response down to 39 Hz, balancing impact, accuracy and portability.
Titanium HF Compression Driver
The neodymium high-frequency driver uses a titanium diaphragm and 2-inch voice coil for detailed projection and clear reproduction under demanding conditions.
96 kHz DSP and Advanced FIR-X
High-resolution processing combines FIR filtering, corrective EQ and time-alignment optimisation for smooth response and precise imaging around the crossover.
Detailed LCD-Based Control
Recall presets or configure PEQ, delay, routing and system parameters directly from the rear-panel display, with USB memory support for storing and loading data.
Professional Analogue Connectivity
Two line-level XLR/TRS combo inputs and dual XLR outputs support fixed through connections and a configurable DSP-processed output.
Adaptable for FOH, Monitoring and Installation
The DZR12’s rotatable 90° × 60° horn supports vertical or horizontal placement. Its symmetrical 50° monitor geometry allows left- or right-side stage positioning, while dual 35 mm sockets provide 0° or -7° pole mounting. Twelve M10 rigging points and optional horizontal or vertical U-brackets extend its installation flexibility.
Ideal Applications
- Professional front-of-house systems for live music, DJs and event production
- High-output floor monitoring with symmetrical positioning
- Delay, side-fill and distributed reinforcement
- Fixed installations requiring high SPL, precise DSP and flexible orientation
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the Dante-equipped DZR12-D?
No. This listing is for the standard analogue DZR12. It provides two analogue combo inputs, two XLR outputs and USB memory support, but does not include Dante network audio.
Does the DZR12 need an external amplifier?
No. It includes an integrated 2,000 W dynamic Class-D bi-amplifier.
Can it be used as a floor monitor?
Yes. Its symmetrical 50° enclosure allows use on either side of the stage, supported by onboard monitor processing.
Can the horn be rotated?
Yes. The 90° × 60° horn can be rotated to maintain the intended dispersion pattern in vertical or horizontal installations.
Are the mounting brackets and cover included?
No. Compatible Yamaha UB-DZR12H/V brackets and the SPCVR-DZR12 functional cover are optional accessories sold separately.
