Yamaha CXR15MK3 High-Output, 15" Passive PA Loudspeaker

Yamaha CXR15mk3 Passive Loudspeaker
Big Low-End Power. Wide Coverage. Built for Serious Sound Pressure.
The Yamaha CXR15mk3 Passive Loudspeaker is a high-output 15-inch, 2-way passive loudspeaker designed for professionals who need maximum coverage, strong low-frequency impact, and uncompromising clarity in live and installed sound systems.
From mobile DJs and live bands to rental companies and venues, the CXR15mk3 delivers club-ready punch and full-range authority in a surprisingly lightweight, road-ready enclosure.
Use it as a powerful standalone PA speaker, or scale it into a high-impact system by pairing it with Yamaha CXS15mk3 Passive Subwoofer for extended low-end reinforcement and true full-range performance.
Why the CXR15mk3 Stands Out
This is not just a louder speaker—it’s a larger-format performance tool built for real-world sound demands :
- Massive Low-End Output – 15" driver delivers deep, punchy bass with serious weight and authority
- High SPL Performance – Designed for large rooms, outdoor events, and high-energy environments
- Wide, Even Coverage – Consistent sound dispersion across the audience area
- Flexible Deployment – Works equally well for FOH, stage monitoring, or installed systems
- Tour-Ready Construction – Lightweight molded enclosure built for transport, setup, and teardown
- System Scalable – Easily integrates into full Yamaha PA ecosystems

Extended Low-End Without Compromise
The CXR15mk3’s oversized 15-inch woofer and precision-tuned bass-reflex design deliver surprisingly deep and punchy bass response , making it capable of handling smaller venues without a subwoofer while still scaling cleanly into full system builds.
For larger events, pairing it with a subwoofer transforms it into a high-impact full-range system capable of club-level performance .
