Yamaha's DBR12 powered speaker ushers in a new era of high-performance, grab-and-go PA. Packing a potent 1,000W amplifier and custom-designed 12" woofer, the DBR12 cranks out a whopping 131dB of full-range sound. Despite its formidable output, this revolutionary speaker tips the scales at under 35 pounds, courtesy of a lightweight yet durable enclosure equipped with ergonomic handles. The DBR12 is Yamaha's most portable powered speaker that harnesses the same cutting-edge DSP and amplification technology as their professional DSR and DXR series.

High-Efficiency 1,000W Amplifier

At the heart of the DBR12 is a lightweight, Class-D amplifier that churns out 1,000W of power with remarkable clarity and precision. This high-efficiency design, combined with Yamaha's optimized DSP algorithms, enables the DBR12 to achieve arena-worthy volume levels without sacrificing accuracy or overtaxing its components.

Custom-Designed 12" Woofer and 1.4" Tweeter

Yamaha developed the DBR12's woofer and tweeter in-house to deliver the purest, most natural sound possible at any volume. The rigid, high-power woofer pumps out tight, defined bass with minimal distortion. Paired to a 1.4" compression driver and precision waveguide, the tweeter reproduces midrange and high frequencies with stunning resolution.

Onboard 2-Channel Mixer

Despite its compact size, the DBR12 incorporates a built-in 2-channel mixer for blending multiple inputs. Channel one features both XLR and 1/4" inputs for microphones and line-level devices. Channel two provides 1/4", RCA and 3.5mm inputs, allowing you to connect everything from keyboards and electronic drums to MP3 players and laptops. Select either the CH1+2 mixed output or CH1 thru output depending on your needs.

Lightweight, Durable Enclosure

Yamaha designed the DBR12's plastic enclosure to be as lightweight, portable and road-ready as the components inside. The wedge-shaped cabinet can be set up and torn down in minutes. M8 rigging points allow for permanent installation, while the 50-degree angle provides ideal floor monitor positioning. A rugged steel grille protects the woofer and tweeter and ergonomic handles make transporting the DBR12 a breeze.
