Yamaha DM3S 22-Channel Digital Mixing Console Live Sound PA Bundle with 2 DBR12 12-Inch 1,000W Powered Loudspeakers

Yamaha DM3S Live Sound PA Bundle: Mixer, Mains, and Monitoring in One Purchase

This bundle is built for the engineer who runs an actual room — a band playing 100 to 300-seat venues, a mobile DJ working weddings and corporate events, or a house-of-worship volunteer mixing a Sunday service. The Yamaha DM3S is the hero: a 22-channel digital mixing console with a 9-inch multi-touch screen and 16 mic preamps, compact enough to carry in one hand at 14.3 lb. Paired with it are two Yamaha DBR12 powered loudspeakers — 1,000-watt, 12-inch, 131 dB SPL mains that turn the console's output into front-of-house sound for a full audience. Mixer, mains, and monitoring, ready to load in.

How a 9-Inch Touchscreen and 9 Motorized Faders Replace a Console Twice Its Size

The DM3S puts 22 mixing channels — 16 mic/line inputs, 1 stereo input, and 2 FX returns — into a console only 12.6 inches wide. The 9-inch multi-touch screen runs Yamaha's GainFinder visual gain system so you set clean levels by eye, while nine 100mm motorized faders give you physical control that recalls instantly when you load a scene. A single Touch and Turn encoder reaches every parameter the screen exposes, and 1-knob COMP and 1-knob EQ shape dynamics and tone per channel without diving into menus. Sixteen mic preamps deliver -126 dBu equivalent input noise — clean enough for condenser vocal mics and dynamic broadcast mics alike.

Record the Whole Show: 18-In/18-Out USB and Direct-to-USB Capture

The DM3S is also an 18-in/18-out USB audio interface over USB 2.0, so the entire show multitracks straight into Pro Tools, Logic, or Cubase for a post-event mix or a live-stream feed. When you do not want a laptop in the booth, the console records a 2-track stereo mix directly to a USB stick — a finished recording of the set with nothing else plugged in. Two REV HD multi-effects processors with 18 effect types add reverb and delay to vocals, and 6 mix buses plus 2 matrices give you independent monitor sends and broadcast feeds. At 96 kHz with under 1.3 ms of processing latency, performers never hear a delay in their wedge.

Two DBR12 Powered Speakers: 1,000 Watts and 131 dB of Front-of-House Output

Each Yamaha DBR12 is a 1,000-watt Class-D powered loudspeaker pairing a 12-inch low-frequency cone with a 1.4-inch compression driver, reaching 131 dB max SPL — enough to fill a 100 to 300-person room with no subwoofer for most program material. Yamaha's proprietary FIR-X tuning gives the pair linear-phase crossover behavior, so transients stay tight and vocals stay clear whether you run them quiet for a ceremony or loud for a dance set. The 52 Hz to 20 kHz range covers full-range music, and a 90-degree-horizontal by 60-degree-vertical pattern spreads coverage across the audience. Each cabinet is high-impact ABS with integrated handles and lifts in one hand at 34.8 lb.

One Switch Turns a Main Into a Monitor: D-Contour and the 35mm Pole Socket

The DBR12's D-Contour switch retunes the DSP between FOH (front-of-house mains) and Monitor (floor-wedge) voicings with one button press — the same speaker covers both jobs without re-EQing. The symmetrical cabinet and 35mm pole socket let you stand each DBR12 vertically on a speaker pole as a main, or lay it on its tilted side as a stage monitor. Run both as a stereo PA pair, or send one to the audience and tilt the other back at the performers as a wedge. An M10 fly point handles permanent installs.

How the Console and Speakers Work Together as a Stereo PA System

The DM3S sends its main stereo mix out over balanced XLR to the two DBR12 mains, and the console's 6 mix buses feed independent monitor sends to any DBR12 you set to Monitor voicing. Each DBR12 also has a 2-channel onboard mixer with an XLR Mix-Out that daisy-chains to a second speaker, so you can expand coverage without returning to the console. The result is a complete, self-contained PA: mics and instruments into the DM3S, the stereo mix to the DBR12 mains, and a monitor send to a tilted wedge — one rig that handles the whole event.

For the Band, the Mobile DJ, and the House of Worship Stepping Up From a Powered Mixer

First-timers building a first real PA get everything in one purchase: the console that mixes the show and the speakers that play it to the room. Upgraders moving off an analog powered mixer gain motorized scene recall, USB multitrack recording, and FIR-X-tuned mains that out-resolve their old box. Comparison shoppers get the numbers that close it — 22 channels, 18-in/18-out USB, 96 kHz, two 1,000-watt speakers at 131 dB SPL, all of it carried in a few trips. Plug in the mics, raise the faders, fill the room.
