Yamaha DHR10

Audio engineers, rental houses, and system installers in search of a professional-grade active loudspeaker for installations and utility work will be impressed with the black Yamaha DHR10, a compact, powered two-way loudspeaker well suited for fixed installations in clubs, bars, and event halls, or in mobile applications for touring bands or DJ setups.

The speaker features a 700W Class-D amplifier that delivers 500W to the 10″ woofer and 200W to the 1.4″ compression driver, which combine to offer a frequency range of 52 Hz to 20 kHz. With a maximum SPL output of 128 dB, a pair of DHR10s can provide plenty of volume to cover an audience of 300 patrons. The compression driver is mounted into a 90 x 60° horn that rotates 90°, allowing the speaker to be used horizontally or vertically.

Two inputs are on the back. Inputs 1 and 2 feature combo XLR-1/4″ connectors. Input 1 offers a Microphone/Line input switch, while input 2 provides a line-level input and includes a stereo RCA for unbalanced connections. Both inputs feature independent volume controls, allowing you to connect a microphone and line level source or instrument DI for singer/song writer applications. An XLR output features a Thru/Mix switch that allows the signal from input 1 to pass through or combines the signals from input 1 and 2 together for greater flexibility in deployment.

Other notable features include a high-pass filter (120 or 100 Hz) for use with a subwoofer and a contour switch that utilizes FIR-X tuning technology for system tuning. The FOH/Main setting boosts the high and low frequencies suitable for a main speaker, while the Monitor setting reduces the low-frequency range for using the speaker as a floor monitor.

The plywood enclosure is finished with a durable Polyurea coating and features a durable metal grille. There are three M10 fly points; two on the top and a single pullback. A standard 1.4″ pole socket on the bottom allows the speaker to be mounted to a speaker pole. The adjustable UB-DXRDHR10 U-bracket (sold separately) allows you to easily mount the speaker horizontally or vertically to a ceiling or wall.
