Yamaha DXR12 MK3 12" 2-Way Active Loudspeaker, 1000W
The Yamaha DXR12 MK3 is a 12" 2-Way Bi-Amped Active Loudspeaker delivering 134dB SPL and 2000W Class-D amplification, featuring Advanced FIR-X tuning, Drive Motion Calibration DSP, Bluetooth 5.0 streaming and wireless remote control.
The Yamaha DXR12 MK3 sits at the heart of Yamaha's acclaimed DXR MK3 series, delivering a compelling combination of portability and professional-grade performance that makes it one of the most versatile active loudspeakers in its class.
Designed for live music, DJ sets, speeches, corporate events and more, the DXR12 MK3 delivers exceptional clarity, precision and a powerful 134dB SPL output — two decibels above the smaller DXR10 MK3 — making it an excellent choice for front-of-house use, floor monitoring, stage side fills and a wide range of professional sound reinforcement applications. Its lightweight, injection-moulded polypropylene enclosure keeps weight manageable for a 12" active speaker, making it as practical to transport and deploy as it is capable in performance.
Premium Components & Advanced Amplification
The DXR12 MK3 features a 12" cone LF driver with a 2.5" voice coil paired with a 1.75" diaphragm compression driver on a 1" throat HF unit, both engineered to Yamaha's exacting standards for high-durability and long-term reliability. The newly developed 2000W Class-D amplifier — delivering 1700W to the LF driver and 300W to the HF driver — is coupled with a switched power supply for smooth, stable operation and high-efficiency power delivery across demanding sustained use. The large-diameter horn secures directivity control across a wide frequency range with a 90° horizontal by 60° vertical coverage pattern, whilst optimised port positioning reduces standing wave effects for cleaner, more accurate bass reproduction down to 50Hz. Five-speed fan cooling ensures the amplifier maintains optimal operating temperature throughout extended high-power use.
Intelligent High-Performance DSP
The DXR12 MK3 is equipped with onboard 32-bit/96kHz DSP incorporating Yamaha's proprietary FIR-X tuning technology — providing FIR filtering and corrective EQ at a crossover frequency of 1.8kHz for exceptionally smooth phase characteristics and clear, distortion-free sound reproduction. Drive Motion Calibration corrects the motion of the LF driver using a proprietary DSP algorithm, ensuring the speaker's behaviour accurately follows the input signal and delivering clear, linear low-frequency performance that surpasses conventional limitations. An internal accelerometer automatically detects the speaker's orientation, with a switchable Auto V/H Position mode in the FOH/Main and Monitor DSP settings for streamlined setup. An intelligent feedback suppressor handles both handheld microphone feedback suppression and detection and setting of feedback-prone points for fixed microphones. DSP modes include FOH/Main, Monitor, DJ, Live Music, Speech and Off, with a selectable HPF between 50Hz and 118Hz at 12–48dB/octave.
Flexible Control & Connectivity
Two combo input connectors provide flexible analogue source connection — INPUT1 with a 20kΩ balanced impedance and maximum input level of +24dBu, and INPUT2 with a 6kΩ balanced impedance accommodating both line (+24dBu) and microphone (-6dBu) level signals. Two XLR outputs provide thru and DSP out options for easy system expansion and signal distribution. Bluetooth 5.0 (A2DP, SBC/AAC, Class 1) enables wireless audio streaming from smartphones and compatible devices. The rear-mounted LCD panel and encoder provide clear on-unit DSP mode selection, parametric EQ, delay, routing and preset recall, whilst the D-Remote app for iOS and Android enables full wireless remote control of all parameters for up to ten devices simultaneously with grouping for unified level and mute control.
Versatile Mounting & Transport
The DXR12 MK3 features two side rubber-coated handles, dual 35mm pole mount sockets at 0° and -7° down tilt, and a floor monitor angle of 52°. Comprehensive rigging points accommodate M10 eyebolts at the top and rear, M8 fixings at the bottom for the optional UB-DXRDHR12A U-bracket, and side mounting points — supporting both vertical and horizontal fixed installation configurations. An optional speaker cover (SPCVR-DXR123) provides protection during transport, storage and outdoor use.
