Detailed Features & Benefits

Powerful 1100W Class-D Amplification

At the heart of the Yamaha DXR15 MKII is a highly efficient Class-D bi-amplified system delivering an impressive 1100W of dynamic power and 700W continuous output. With 950W dedicated to the low-frequency driver and 150W to the high-frequency section, the speaker provides substantial headroom and exceptional clarity across its operating range. Capable of reaching 134dB SPL, the DXR15 MKII is ideally suited to demanding live performances, high-energy DJ sets and professional PA applications where powerful, clean sound is essential.

High-Performance 15-Inch Woofer

The DXR15 MKII features a specially engineered 15-inch low-frequency driver with a substantial 2.5-inch voice coil, delivering powerful bass reproduction and excellent transient response. With a frequency response extending down to 49Hz, this large-format powered speaker provides impressive low-end performance without necessarily requiring an additional subwoofer for smaller applications. Kick drums, bass guitars and electronic music benefit from a solid, defined bottom end, while vocals and instruments remain clear and balanced.

Premium Neodymium Compression Driver

The upgraded MKII design incorporates a high-performance 1.75-inch neodymium compression driver, designed to deliver exceptional high-frequency clarity, detail and projection. This premium driver provides articulate vocal reproduction and excellent definition across the upper frequency range, helping every element of a performance cut through the mix. Its lightweight neodymium construction also contributes to the speaker's efficient overall design.

Advanced FIR-X Tuning Technology

Yamaha's sophisticated FIR-X tuning technology uses linear-phase FIR filtering to optimise the crossover between the low-frequency and high-frequency drivers. By carefully managing phase alignment and frequency response, this advanced processing helps create a smooth, natural transition between drivers. The result is impressive sonic clarity, improved imaging and a more balanced listening experience throughout the coverage area.

Intelligent D-CONTOUR Processing

The DXR15 MKII features Yamaha's intelligent D-CONTOUR multi-band dynamic processing, which continuously monitors the audio signal and adjusts the speaker's response for optimum performance. The FOH/MAIN setting is designed for front-of-house use, maintaining a powerful and balanced sound, while MONITOR mode optimises the frequency response when the speaker is used as a floor wedge. D-CONTOUR can also be switched off, giving sound engineers additional flexibility when configuring their system.

Versatile Built-In Three-Channel Mixer

A practical three-channel onboard mixer allows the DXR15 MKII to accommodate multiple audio sources without requiring a separate mixing console for simpler applications. Connections include a balanced XLR microphone/line input, two 6.35mm jack inputs and stereo RCA inputs, making it easy to connect microphones, instruments and playback devices. Dedicated THRU and LINK OUT connections also allow additional powered speakers to be integrated into larger PA setups.

Flexible Positioning & Stage Monitoring

The Yamaha DXR15 MKII is designed for exceptional versatility, functioning equally well as a front-of-house loudspeaker or a powerful stage monitor. Its symmetrical cabinet design allows floor monitoring at a 50-degree angle, while the dual-angle 35mm pole socket provides a choice of 0-degree or 7-degree downward tilt when mounted on a compatible speaker stand. This flexibility makes the DXR15 MKII suitable for a wide variety of venues and performance environments.

Rugged Professional Construction

Built to withstand the demands of regular professional use, the DXR15 MKII features a durable ABS enclosure finished in matt black, with a protective steel grille and sturdy aluminium carrying handles. The cabinet offers an excellent balance between strength, portability and acoustic performance. Integrated rigging points also provide additional installation flexibility when used with appropriate professional mounting hardware.

Seamless Integration with PA Subwoofers

Although the DXR15 MKII delivers substantial bass response independently, it can also be paired with a dedicated active subwoofer for applications requiring deeper low-frequency reinforcement. Selectable 100Hz and 120Hz high-pass filters allow the speaker to operate efficiently alongside a subwoofer, reducing unnecessary low-frequency demands on the main cabinet and helping deliver a cleaner, more powerful overall sound.
