Yamaha Introduces DBR Series Powered Loudspeakers and CBR Series Loudspeakers


September 10, 2014 – Yamaha is very pleased to introduce the new additions to its portable powered and passive loudspeaker lineups, the DBR Series and CBR Series.

The DBR Series is the follow-up to the acclaimed DSR and DXR Series and the most portable powered speaker that Yamaha offers. Comprised of three new models, the DBR10, DBR12 and DBR15, the new lineup features DSP technology inherited from its predecessors, ensuring optimal performance and reliable operation. The DBR's Class-D amplifiers deliver up to 1000W of power, achieving an impressive maximum SPL of up to 132 dB with consistent sound quality and performance. The transducers were carefully selected and thoroughly customized to perfectly match the amplifier's properties and deliver high output power with minimal distortion. Combined with an extremely accurate wide dispersion constant-directivity horn, the DBR evenly projects wide frequency sound to the outer-most edges of a coverage area. Portable and versatile, the DBR Series’ rugged, compact and light-weight plastic enclosure is fitted with a sleek steel grille and ergonomic handles allowing for safe and easy transportation and setup.

The DBR also features an optimized 50° wedge angle for floor monitoring use, while the symmetrical cabinet shape of the DBR12 and DBR15 allows a “mirror-mode” configuration. All models come equipped with rigging points for installed applications. Each DBR Series also features an easy-to-use 2-channel onboard mixer to further maximize its versatility.

The CBR Series is Yamaha's newest lineup of passive loudspeakers that are capable of delivering high quality sound with impressive power, while offering exceptional portability. CBR Series loudspeakers employ custom designed transducers and are tuned by precise adjustment of an internal passive network.

The new models also feature a highly responsive LF unit and a protection circuit that limits excessive input to the HF driver, which ensure reliable operation even when pushed to their limit. Featuring the same versatile enclosure design as the DBR Series and equipped with fast and easy connectivity, CBR loudspeakers can deliver high-output, high-resolution sound ideal for front-of-house, floor monitoring, or rigged applications.
