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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Components \u0026amp; Acoustic Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Installation \u0026amp; Deployment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1854\" data-end=\"2285\"\u003eYamaha CXR12 MK3 Key Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12\" LF \u0026amp; 1.75\" HF Proprietary High-Durability Drivers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium Yamaha driver configuration with 2.5\" LF voice coil and 1\" throat compression driver for exceptional clarity and long-term reliability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e550W Program \/ 1100W Peak Power Handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Robust power handling for professional sound reinforcement applications across a wide range of venues and events.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e94dB Sensitivity \/ 124dB Peak SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e High acoustic efficiency delivering powerful output from compatible professional amplification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8 Ohm Nominal Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard impedance for straightforward integration with professional amplifiers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.9kHz Passive Crossover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean, smooth driver integration for accurate full-range sound reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e90° x 60° Coverage Pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wide horizontal and focused vertical coverage for consistent, even sound distribution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response 51Hz–20kHz:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extended low-frequency response for full-range front-of-house and monitoring applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge-Diameter Horn:\u003c\/strong\u003e Consistent directivity control across a wide frequency range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptimised Port Positioning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reduces standing wave effects for cleaner, more accurate bass reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 x Speakon NL4MP Connectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Parallel-connected for secure speaker wiring and easy cabinet daisy-chaining.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Angle Pole Mount Sockets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0° and -7° down tilt options for focused coverage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e52° Floor Monitor Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Practical wedge angle for stage monitoring applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComprehensive Rigging Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e M10 and M8 eyebolt compatible points for safe and secure suspension and bracket mounting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 x Side Handles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Practical rubber-coated carry handles for comfortable transportation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight PP Enclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reduced cabinet resonance and weight for easy transport and deployment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYamaha PX \u0026amp; PC-D Series Compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Takes full advantage of dedicated Yamaha speaker processor tuning settings when used with compatible amplifiers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional U-Bracket (UB-DXRDHR12A):\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertical and horizontal fixed installation mounting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional Speaker Cover (SPCVR-DXR123):\u003c\/strong\u003e Protection during transport, storage and outdoor use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57073306239349,"sku":"YAMCXR12MK3","price":729.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2083\/7259\/files\/WEBYAM00748_CXR12MK3_2.webp?v=1776263538","url":"https:\/\/www.audiovolt.co.uk\/products\/yamaha-cxr12-mk3-12inch-2-way-passive-loudspeaker-550w-8-ohm","provider":"Audio Volt ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
