The Yamaha DXR8mkII is a 8" 1100W 2-Way active loudspeaker which provides clear audio and extremely high output levels in an unobtrusive and durable design, ideal for live sound applications that require wide bandwidth audio reproduction. The cabinet has a rugged ABS construction with a bass-reflex design for enhanced bass performance with reduced turbulence. The high-power 8" woofer and 1.75" compression tweeter offer high-resolution audio with a wide frequency response and deep bass. Integrated DSP uses a FIR-X linear phase filter for an ultra-smooth crossover, while the protection circuits optimize and protect driver performance.

The speaker has a biamplified Class-D design that provides a combined peak output power of 1100W for a strong performance with minimal distortion. The integrated D-contour processor allows you to use the speaker as a main/FOH speaker or as a stage monitor. The rear panel has XLR, 1/4", and RCA inputs, as well as XLR thru and output connectors for wide compatibility with a variety of professional sound systems and devices.

The speaker can be placed on a floor or stage, but also has useful mounting options. A dual 35mm pole socket allows you to mount the speaker on top of a subwoofer with horizontal or 7° tilt toward the floor, while M8 fly points allow suspended installation. An optional U-bracket is available separately for wall mounting. The Yamaha DXR8mkII ships with a power cord.

FIR-X tuning

Proprietary sound-processing technology utilizing a linear-phase FIR filter delivers high-quality sound at high resolution with a smooth frequency response that is unaffected by phase interference near the crossover point

D-CONTOUR (Dynamic CONTOUR)

D-CONTOUR is a multiband compressor that dynamically controls the level of each frequency range according to the application and human hearing characteristics

• FOH/MAIN: For use as a main speaker
• MONITOR: Optimized for use as a floor monitor

Mixing/LINK functionality

Features mixing functionality, enabling you to mix sounds by directly inputting three channel signals into the unit

LINK function enables you to easily configure a stereo or dual-mono SR (Sound Reinforcement) system using two DXR mkIIs

DSP-controlled advanced protection system

Powerful protection circuits ensure secure protection in the speaker unit, amplifier unit, and power supply unit

Protection functionality promotes optimal performance of each component and optimum reliability without distortion even in challenging environments
