The black Yamaha DZR15 is a 2-way powered loudspeaker designed for main/FOH and floor monitor applications. The 2000W Class-D bi-amp powers the 15" woofer and 2" compression driver, which combine to provide a frequency range of 34 Hz to 20 kHz (-10 dB) with a maximum SPL of 139 dB. The rotatable horn allows for vertical or horizontal mounting to further adapt it to the acoustic dimensions of a venue. The constant directivity horn was designed with the goal of providing smooth, level coverage across the intended coverage area, minimizing roll-off that is common in conventional horn designs.

The on-board 96 kHz DSP processor utilizes Advanced FIR filters for the crossover network and corrective EQ. With the FIR filters, the DZR15 is able to produce a smooth frequency response for remarkable clarity and sound imaging without phase distortion. The onboard LCD screen allows users to easily navigate the variety of DSP functions, load presets, and adjust PEQ, delay, and routing. The D-CONTOUR is an intelligent multiband compressor that ensures the DZR15's sound stays consistent and clear no matter how hard you drive them. The FOH/Main mode boosts the lower frequencies to compensate for low end that is typically lost when flying speakers, while the Monitor mode is optimized for floor monitoring application by taming problematic low frequencies that can be enhanced by floor reflection, and smoothing a wide range of frequencies to deliver the clarity professionals demand from their stage monitors.

The rear panel offers two combo XLR-1/4" inputs with XLR thru/outputs and dedicated level controls. A USB port allows for system upgrades and preset configuration and backups. The Yamaha DZR15 ships with a standard IEC power cord.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the rms

A: The Yamaha DZR15 2000W 2-Way 15" Powered Loudspeaker is 950 W RMS.

Q: 2. Can SOUND delay (milliseconds) be adjusted on the speaker or via the app?

A: The Alto Professional TS410 2000W 10" 2-Way Active Loudspeaker with Bluetooth (BH # ALTS410XUS) features the Alto Mobile App which gives hands-on remote control over Bluetooth levels, speaker use modes, custom EQ and sub size selection. Further, true wireless stereo linking can be configured remotely via the app to save time during setup. Delay is not adjustable.

Q: 3. Can this be used with HS80M monitors? I've noticed that this subwoofer has a very different frequency response curve to the now discontinued HS10W subwoofer that was designed for the HS80M monitors.

A: Contacted Yamaha and they assure me that it can be used with HS80M monitors. Frequency response is different as the HS8S can go as low as 22hz (HS10W was 30hz). You just need to adjust the cross over frequency until it best complements the HS80M monitors.

Q: 4. What is the difference between HS8I and HS8?

A: The HSI model has added mounting points to the original HS monitor, and is now compatible with three optional bracket types—wall, ceiling, and baton—adding the flexibility to accommodate a broad range of sonic environments.

Q: 5. Can I use this mixer with my portable Yamaha PAS 500?

A: The EMX5 is a powered mixer similar to the STAGEPAS mixer unit. The EMX5 does feature a line level stereo output that can be connected to the inputs on a unit such as the STAGEPAS 500.

Q: 6. Does it come with a power cable?

A: Yes, the Alto Professional TS410 2000W 10" 2-Way Active Loudspeaker with Bluetooth comes with a power cable.

Q: 7. Is there a way to use a Vesa mount with these speakers by themselves or in any combination with the brackets? Would like to attach them to a desk.

A: The following brackets are mane by Yamaha for this monitor• Baton bracket BBS251,• Ceiling bracket BCS251, • Wall bracket BWS251,• Wall bracket / ceiling bracket BWS50.See page 11,12 for instructions on mounting (https://usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/4/793644/hs8i_en_om_c0.pdf)

Q: 8. These are 199$ each.... is your price for ONE speaker or a PAIR? Thanks! Gordy

A: The Yamaha HS5I are sold per unit and are not paired.

Q: 9. Does the high cut knob act as a crossover? Will the frequencies above the set high cut pass through the HS8S's outputs to go to studio monitors?

A: On the HS8 subwoofer, the high cut control sets the highest frequency output from the sub. The Low Cut control will act as the crossover to the monitor speakers and attenuate the low frequencies before outputting to the connected monitors. This can be bypassed or engaged with the on off switch.

Q: 10. With the SPX effects, can you assign one effect to one channel and another effect to another channel, and so on?

A: No unfortunately you can not, one effect will play on all channels , the only way to have different effects on each channels is to buy a digital mixing console.
