Yamaha DXR12 MK3 12" 2000W Active Powered PA Speaker

The Yamaha DXR12 MK3 active PA speaker is designed to deliver clear, reliable sound for a wide range of live and installed applications. Building on Yamaha’s established loudspeaker design, it combines precise audio performance with modern control flexibility. A 12-inch low-frequency driver and high-frequency compression driver work together to produce balanced, consistent sound with increased low-end extension and output capability.

Integrated DSP processing with FIR-X tuning helps optimise clarity and phase response across the frequency range. Bluetooth connectivity supports convenient wireless audio streaming, while control via the D-Remote app allows adjustment of key settings without needing direct access to the speaker. A powerful 2000W Class-D amplifier provides dependable output with strong headroom, ensuring consistent performance in demanding environments. The robust moulded enclosure minimises resonance and supports reliable long-term use.

Clear and Consistent Sound Performance

Yamaha-designed low and high-frequency drivers deliver a balanced and dependable sound profile with clarity across vocals and instruments. This makes the speaker well suited to both speech and music applications in a wide range of environments. Integrated DSP processing allows users to optimise EQ, manage system protection, and maintain consistent output across different venues. FIR-X tuning improves phase alignment for greater accuracy, while Drive Motion Calibration helps deliver tighter and more controlled low-frequency response. Together, these technologies support predictable performance and reduce the need for complex adjustments during setup.

Optimised Coverage and Low-End Response

An improved horn design works alongside carefully tuned bass-reflex performance to provide controlled sound dispersion and enhanced low-frequency output. This helps distribute audio evenly across the listening area while maintaining clarity and definition. The 12-inch driver delivers greater low-frequency presence and output compared to smaller models, making it suitable for full-range use in many applications. Consistent coverage helps ensure reliable results whether used for front-of-house duties or monitoring, while maintaining balanced sound across different listening positions.

Robust and Practical Cabinet Design

The moulded enclosure is built to reduce resonance while offering long-term durability in transport and installation environments. Its symmetrical design allows the speaker to be used effectively as a floor monitor, giving flexibility for stage use. Integrated side handles improve grip and handling during setup and transport, while the cabinet shape supports stable positioning. The construction is designed to withstand regular use, making it suitable for rental systems, venues, and mobile setups where reliability is essential.

Flexible Setup and Wireless Control

The DXR12 MK3 is designed to adapt to different setups, from portable PA systems to permanent installations. A dual-angle pole socket allows improved audience coverage, while multiple rigging points support secure mounting. Bluetooth connectivity enables simple wireless audio playback for quick setup, while control via the D-Remote app provides remote access to DSP settings, monitoring, and system configuration. This allows efficient adjustment during setup and live operation, helping users manage performance without needing direct access to the speaker.
