Yamaha DZR15-DW
15" White 2-way Bi-ampled Powered Speaker with Dante
The Yamaha DZR15-DW offers superb clarity and best-in-class SPL performance. This 2-way bi-amped PA speaker boasts a high-power 2,000-watt Class D amplifier and a 34Hz–20kHz frequency range, and it can tackle any application you throw at it. Sophisticated DSP processing yields high-resolution sound with super-low latency, while an intuitive LCD display makes dialing in your settings a piece of cake. Built-in Dante capabilities enable smart system integration with Yamaha consoles and other Dante devices. The DZR15-D also operates effectively as a stage monitor. The DZR15-DW employs a lightweight yet durable plywood cabinet with a premium-grade polyurea coating.
At Sweetwater, we're impressed by the DZR15-DW's intelligent DSP processing. Yamaha's Advanced FIR-X tuning employs a combination of FIR filtering and corrective EQ to minimize phase distortion, ensuring smooth frequency response, stunning clarity, and accurate sound imaging. D-Contour is an intelligent multiband compressor that maintains the ultimate in clarity, even when you push the DZR15-DW to its highest output level. D-Contour features two settings, FOH/Main and Monitor mode, allowing you to fine-tune the DZR15-DW's sound based on your application. You also get DSP protection that safeguards your power supply, power amplifiers, and transducers against damage. Despite all this powerful DSP, the DZR15-DW remains easy to use, thanks to optimized factory presets and an intuitive LCD screen.
The Yamaha DZR15-DW is loaded with great-sounding, custom-designed transducers. Its high-frequency transducer includes a 2-inch voice coil and 1-inch throat compression driver, a titanium diaphragm, and neodymium magnet housed in a heat-resistant aluminum-cast frame. Its low-frequency transducer uses a large 3-inch voice coil, cast-aluminum frame, and powerful yet lightweight neodymium magnet to handle the chest-thumping low end that the DZR15-DW delivers. The DZR15-DW isn't just all about power, however. Its low-end response is tightly controlled, especially in the mid-bass and vocal range, assuring crystal-clear sound reproduction — even at cranked volumes.
Integrating the DZR15-DW with Yamaha consoles and other Dante devices is a breeze. The DZR15-DW features a built-in 2-in/2-out Dante interface, along with sample rate conversion, allowing 48kHz device compatibility. Benefit from simplified patching with Yamaha's CL/QL digital consoles from their I/O device display, while TF console users can select Quick Config for fast, easy setup. You can also combine the DZR15-DW's Analog I/O with Dante I/O, supplying you with flexible routing and system configuration. Or use the Dante break-In and break-Out function to act as a simple I/O box. Beyond that, Yamaha’s ProVisionare Control software for Windows and ProVisionare Touch for iPad are also Dante compatible, giving you added remote management of your system.
The Yamaha DZR15-DW integrates with any configuration, thanks to its ultra-flexible design. Its rotatable horn allows vertical or horizontal mounting. Benefit from a 90° x 60° dispersion from a vertical position. Enjoy smooth, level coverage, by virtue of the DZR15-DW's constant directivity horn — its innovative design minimizes the roll-off that conventional horns often produce.
Loaded with 2,000 watts of Class D power, the DZR15-DW is a beast. It delivers an impressive 139dB SPL, so go ahead and crank it up — the DZR15-DW can take it. Enjoy maximum power, along with stable, worry-free operation, thanks to a universal switching-mode power supply. Beyond that, this amp was optimized to match the DZR15-DW's transducers, ensuring top-tier sound quality.
