Yamaha DZR315 Aktiv højttaler

3-Way Bi-Amplified Power for Main PA

Active loudspeakers in this class are expected to deliver enough headroom to fill large venues without needing extra amplification or processing. This model achieves that with a maximum 143 dB SPL across 31 Hz to 20 kHz, standing as the most powerful in its series. Sound engineers deploying the DZR315 as a main PA element benefit from a self-contained unit handling low, mid, and high frequencies through dedicated amplifier channels and transducers.

Three-Way Architecture and Advanced Tuning

What sets this loudspeaker apart from conventional 2-way designs is the dedicated 8-inch mid-range transducer, positioned between the 15-inch low-frequency driver (3-inch voice coil, neodymium magnet) and the 2-inch compression driver (titanium diaphragm, neodymium magnet). The crossover splits at 700 Hz via FIR filtering and 2.5 kHz through a passive network, while the 96 kHz DSP applies Advanced FIR-X tuning. This linear-phase FIR filter and precise EQ eliminate phase distortion across the full bandwidth. D-Contour, an intelligent multi-band compressor, monitors output in real time so that even at high drive, the sound stays clear and undistorted.

Amplification, Cabinet, and Connectivity

Building a reliable PA system starts with understanding power, footprint, and signal routing. The DZR315 addresses all three with a 2000W Class-D amplifier module (1300W continuous), plywood enclosure with Polyurea coating, and professional I/O for direct mixing console integration.

• Amplifier Power: 2000 W dynamic (LF: 1000 W, MF/HF: 1000 W) — each frequency band has its own amplifier channel for clean headroom.
• Frequency Range: 31 Hz – 20 kHz — full-range coverage removes the need for a separate mid-range cabinet.
• Coverage Pattern: H75° × V50° — controlled dispersion targets the audience and limits unwanted reflections.
• Inputs: 2× XLR/TRS combo jacks — accepts balanced line or mic-level signals without an external preamp.
• The enclosure, measuring 550 × 897 × 520 mm and weighing 41.6 kg, fits ground-stacked PA setups and includes M10 rigging points for suspended installation.
• DSP Control: 96 kHz processing with LCD display — access PEQ, delay, routing, and save up to 8 presets directly or via USB.

For Professional Sound Engineers and Production Companies

It is an ideal choice for professionals who need a single-cabinet main PA that can handle large band shows, festival stages, and installations without extra mid-range boxes. Rental operators benefit from the M10 × 16 rigging array and variable-speed fan cooling for extended, high-output use. Pairing with Yamaha DXS XLF Series subwoofers further extends low-end response, with factory presets for combined setups accessible through the onboard menu.

DZR Series: Yamaha’s Smart, Editable Powered Loudspeaker Range

Yamaha’s DZR Series marks a milestone in sound reinforcement, acoustics, and signal processing, introducing 96 kHz DSP with FIR filtering to the brand’s active speakers and setting a new standard for clarity and imaging in professional self-powered PA systems.
