Yamaha DXR15mkII

Powered PA Speaker

The Yamaha DXR15mkII is a 15-inch, 2-way powered PA speaker designed for high-output sound reinforcement, DJ performances, and stage monitoring. Combining 1100W of dynamic Class-D amplification, a maximum output of 134 dB SPL, and advanced Yamaha DSP technology, it delivers powerful bass, clear vocals, and consistent sound coverage in a durable, portable enclosure.

Yamaha DXR15mkII Competitive Differences

• 134 dB maximum SPL with a 1100W dynamic Class-D amplifier for high-output live sound applications.
• 15-inch woofer and 1.75-inch neodymium HF compression driver for deep bass and detailed high-frequency reproduction.
• FIR-X tuning with 48-bit DSP processing for optimized frequency response, phase alignment, and crossover performance.
• D-CONTOUR intelligent multi-band compression with FOH/MAIN and MONITOR modes for application-specific sound control.
• Integrated 3-channel mixer with microphone and line inputs, individual level controls, and flexible signal routing.
• Dual-angle pole socket, mirror-mode floor monitor design, and M10 rigging points for versatile placement.

Yamaha DXR15mkII Description

The Yamaha DXR15mkII combines a high-power 15-inch ferrite woofer with a lightweight 1.75-inch neodymium compression driver to deliver a frequency range of 49 Hz to 20 kHz. Its bi-amplified Class-D system provides 1100W of dynamic output and 700W continuous power, while the 90° horizontal by 60° vertical constant directivity horn helps distribute sound evenly across the listening area. The speaker is suited for mobile DJs, bands, event productions, and installed sound systems.

Yamaha's FIR-X tuning uses linear-phase FIR filters to optimize crossover response and time alignment between the low- and high-frequency drivers. Its 48-bit DSP processing and D-CONTOUR intelligent multi-band compression maintain balanced sound at varying volume levels. FOH/MAIN mode enhances low-frequency performance for main speaker applications, while MONITOR mode adjusts the response for floor monitoring. Selectable 100 Hz and 120 Hz high-pass filters also support integration with compatible subwoofers.

The built-in 3-channel mixer accommodates microphones, instruments, and line-level audio sources through XLR, 1/4-inch phone, and RCA inputs. Independent level controls, an XLR THRU connection, and an XLR LINK OUT provide flexible options for compact PA systems and multi-speaker setups. Stereo and dual-mono linking options make the speaker adaptable to different sound reinforcement configurations.

A rugged, non-resonant ABS enclosure, heavy-duty steel grille, and ergonomic aluminum handles provide durability and portability. The symmetrical cabinet supports mirror-mode floor monitoring, while the 35 mm pole socket offers 0° and 7° mounting angles. Integrated M10 rigging points and compatibility with an optional U-bracket provide additional installation flexibility. Weighing 48.1 lb (21.8 kg), the DXR15mkII combines powerful output with practical handling for mobile and fixed applications.
