Yamaha CXR12 MK3 12" 2-Way Passive Loudspeaker, 550W 8 Ohm
The Yamaha CXR12 MK3 is a 12" 2-Way Passive Loudspeaker delivering 550W program power and 94dB sensitivity, combining Yamaha's proprietary high-durability drivers with an optimised bass-reflex enclosure.
The Yamaha CXR12 MK3 sits at the heart of Yamaha's CXR MK3 passive loudspeaker series, delivering a compelling combination of output capability, low-frequency extension and practical portability that makes it one of the most versatile passive cabinets in its class.
As the passive counterpart to the acclaimed DXR12 MK3 active speaker, the CXR12 MK3 shares the same premium driver technology and enclosure design in an unpowered format primarily intended for installation, fixed system and corporate event applications — particularly suited to situations where nearby power sources may be limited or where an existing amplifier infrastructure is already in place. When used with Yamaha PX and PC-D Series amplifiers or other compatible signal processors, the CXR12 MK3 can take full advantage of dedicated Yamaha speaker processor tuning settings for optimised performance.
Premium Components & Acoustic Design
The CXR12 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. A passive crossover at 1.9kHz provides clean, smooth driver integration across the full frequency range, delivering a wide frequency response from 51Hz to 20kHz with a sensitivity of 94dB at 1W/1m — one decibel above the CXR10 MK3 — and a calculated peak SPL of 124dB.
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 in the lightweight injection-moulded polypropylene enclosure reduces standing wave effects and cabinet resonance for cleaner, more accurate bass reproduction extending deeper than the smaller CXR10 MK3.
Flexible Installation & Deployment
The CXR12 MK3 has been designed for maximum deployment flexibility in professional fixed installation and live sound environments. Two parallel-connected Speakon NL4MP connectors provide secure, professional-grade speaker connectivity with easy daisy-chaining to additional cabinets. Two side rubber-coated handles make transportation practical and comfortable, whilst dual 35mm pole mount sockets at 0° and -7° down tilt accommodate standard speaker stands for optimal coverage positioning.
A floor monitor angle of 52° makes the CXR12 MK3 equally effective as a stage monitor when required. Comprehensive rigging points accommodate M10 eyebolts at the top and rear, along with M8 fixings at the bottom and side for the optional UB-DXRDHR12A U-bracket — supporting both vertical and horizontal fixed installation configurations. An optional speaker cover (SPCVR-DXR123) provides protection during transport, storage and outdoor use.
