Review: Yamaha DBR12 Powered Speaker

Real review on this "entry level" active DJ PA loudspeaker. It feels more like a mid grade speaker.

Max Watts: 1,000
RMS: 465
Max SPL: 131 DB

I gotta say brother, Great straight up real life practical reviews from a DJ, for the DJ

Great review. My friend sells Yamaha and stopped stocking the DXR because the DBR would sell over the DXR when he played a side by side demo for his customers. The DXR is better but not by much. For the price, you can’t beat the DBRs. Yamaha purchased NEXO and you can tell they put their new engineers to work.

You got ghosts there! Look at all the orbs flying around. 😂

I think I paid $350 each for a pair back when Guitar Center had a crazy sale. These compare very well to the Mackie SRM450's first generation. If you look at the promo video from Yamaha there is a guy who goes over the construction of the DBR series and they put foam tape on not only the grille but also the inside of the front cover where it mates to the cabinet. That is attention to detail that keeps this sounding clean without any rattles! I use these for side fills or DJ monitors when my DSR112's are running mains duty.

Great review Lee. I have the DBR10's and compared to the ZLX12 BT, the Yamaha is cleaner and really sounds great. And Yamaha went the extra mile with an internal cooling fan to keep the expensive parts running cool. Alone or coupled with a sub, Yamaha is the way to go.

[djtroy]

i agree. yamaha is the truth
i have the dxr10 and i have more confident in them than any other my previous 15 tops
you wont go wrong with yamaha

thx so much for the information extremely informative..i think we will buy these for stage monitors we have 3 10's now but need a few bigger monitors you rock brother thx...looks like your building a nice studio down there too!

I am right now between DBR12 - ZLX12 - Eon712, I want them for outdoor party. which one in your opinion has a fuller bass and is better overall? I want to add some sub in the future

[ZacharySound]

I noticed instantly the Yamaha is much cleaner.

[theoffbeats]

Génial ! ta démonstration, les autres ne font que des commentaires sans démonstration sonore, et toi tu le fais et c'est assez convaincant, est ce que tu penses que pour mon spectacle il me faudrait des DBR12 ou 15 ? merci mon Ami et je m'abonne bien sûr !

I don't need max volume. which has better mids/ low end, DBR10 or 12?

[adicbn]

Is if normal for the fan to be running all the time in these speakers?

[zefMusic]

Hi, how many people can handle of two this.. thanks

[Robertas-ul]

in Lithuania, the price is the same as the jbl eon715, 729€

[Lietuvishka_slowed]

Worth buying Yamaha DBR12 for room filling bass and sound quality? My room is 5meters length and 2.5 meters in width.

You sound like The Dude from The Big Lebowski :D

[stanbailly]

Did you notice and resonances or noises from the plastic box at higher spl’s!

[robertdupuis]

very nice review, is it possible to use insert 2 with a separate mixer at the same time as a mixer in line 1 ??

[pinoykrawler]

Nice video, do they have universal power supply?
