Yamaha DXR15 MK3 Description
The Yamaha DXR15 MK3 is built for users who want the deepest low-frequency extension in the DXR mk3 powered speaker family without stepping up to a separate subwoofer. Its 15-inch low-frequency driver and 1.75-inch high-frequency compression driver work together in a 2-way bi-amped bass-reflex design that makes it especially well suited for mobile DJs, live bands, event production, houses of worship, and venue applications where strong full-range performance is a priority.
Powered by a newly developed 2000W Class-D amplifier, the DXR15 MK3 delivers up to 134 dB SPL while maintaining clarity and precision. Yamaha’s FIR-X tuning combines linear-phase FIR filtering with corrective EQ to improve crossover behavior and minimize phase distortion, while Drive Motion Calibration helps the low-frequency driver respond more accurately for more linear bass reproduction. This gives the speaker solid low-end authority while preserving detail and articulation through the mids and highs.
The lightweight form-injection molded polypropylene enclosure is designed for durability, portability, and practical setup flexibility. Its symmetrical cabinet supports consistent monitor placement, while dual-angle pole sockets allow either straight or -7 degree down-tilted mounting for better audience coverage. Integrated rigging points and compatibility with the optional UB-DXR15A U-bracket make the cabinet suitable for suspended and installed applications as well.
For greater control, the speaker includes DSP modes for FOH/MAIN, MONITOR, DJ, LIVE MUSIC, SPEECH, and OFF, along with AUTO V/H POSITION for automatic mode switching based on cabinet orientation. Bluetooth 5.0 audio streaming and Yamaha’s D-Remote app support add wireless convenience, allowing the Yamaha DXR15 MK3 to be adjusted remotely from iOS and Android devices for level, EQ, delay, crossover, feedback suppression, scene recall, and more.
