Level up your sound reinforcement system with the Yamaha DHR15M, a compact powered two-way coaxial floor monitor / loudspeaker that's well suited for clubs, bars, and other live sound applications.
The speaker features a 1000W Class-D amplifier that delivers 800W to the 15" woofer and 200W to the 1.75" compression driver, which are arranged in a coaxial configuration to deliver precise, smooth phase, and frequency response characteristics ideal for use in monitoring application. The monitor offers a frequency range of 50 Hz to 20 kHz and a 65x75° (HxV) coverage angle. With a maximum SPL output of 131 dB, the floor monitor can easily cut through perilous stage volumes. When used as a main PA, a pair of DHR15M can provide plenty of volume to cover an audience of 300 patrons. The speaker includes a power cord.
- The DHR15M feature Yamaha's proprietary FIR-X tuning utilizing linear phase FIR filters for the crossover network. FIR-X tuning simultaneously optimizes frequency and phase response while adjusting the time alignment between the HF and LF transducers. This creates a very smooth response around the crossover point, providing much better clarity and imaging than what is possible with typical crossovers.
- All signals are precisely processed by a high-performance processor for high-definition sound quality. The DHR15M employs high-precision 24-bit discrete A/D and D/A converters with superior S/N ratio and dynamic range.
- FOH/MAIN mode boosts low-frequency to compensate for low-end that is typically missing when speakers are used in suspended applications or mounted on a speaker stand.
- MONITOR mode is optimized for monitor application by intelligently taming down the low frequencies, smoothing out a wide range of frequency bands to give you stunning clarity for monitoring your sound.
Both of these presets were perfected by performing countless listening tests with skilled sound engineers, giving you a multiband compressor that performs dynamically, delivering consistent sound with low distortion at any output level.
- In a typical system comprising passive loudspeakers, power amps, and signal processors, trying to set optimal parameters for each component can be a daunting task. One of the advantages of active loudspeakers is that the combination of transducers and amps can be perfectly optimized. During the development of the DZR, DXR mkII, DHR, DBR, and DXS series, Yamaha measured and tested the durability of each transducer and the overall amp output through countless indoor and outdoor listening tests. Based on the test results, they were able to set the optimal limiter point for each model using precise DSP control.
- In addition to the optimal limiting, Yamaha's speakers employ many of the same protection functions used in their top-class PC-D Series professional power amplifiers. A microprocessor and high-power DSP monitor the status of the power supply, power amplifiers, transducers, and ongoing signals to protect all aspects of each component. As a result, these speakers can perform to their full potential while ensuring reliable operation in even the most severe conditions.
- CH1 has a combo jack, which accepts both XLR and 1/4" TRS phone, allowing for either mic- or line-level input signals
- CH2 offers two input options; a combo jack that accepts XLR or 1/4" TRS phone, and a pair of RCA pin jacks for input from CD players or other stereo line-level sources
The onboard mixer allows you to select either CH1+2 MIX to mix the signal of CH1 and CH2, or CH1 THRU to pass the signal from CH1 only
