Gearank Recommendation

The DXR12 appeared on our recommended list for Powered PA Speakers from April 2017 until it was removed due to a lack of availability in November 2019.

Overview

The Yamaha DXR12 is the bigger sibling of the DXR10, featuring the same amplifier section, controls and input/output selection, with the main difference being its bigger 12" woofer.

Consequently, the enclosure is bigger and the overall weight is a bit heavier, but this results in more bass response when compared with the DXR10.

The same Class D amplifier is used, along with Yamaha's DSP FIR-X tuning technology which dynamically optimizes the time alignment between the tweeter and the woofer.

Other features include a built-in 3-channel mixer for stand-alone use, D-Contour and HPF switching for tuning its sound.
