Yamaha DBR15 15" 2-way Powered Speaker (Each)

Key Features

Powered speaker with 15″ woofer + internal amplification — The DBR15 is an active speaker: you don’t need a separate amplifier or receiver. The built-in amp drives the 15″ woofer and HF driver, which simplifies setup (ideal for live sound, events, or mobile PA use).

2-way design for broad frequency response — The woofer handles low and mid-bass/mids, while a high-frequency driver handles treble, giving a balanced full-range output suitable for music, vocals, DJ use, or public-address use.

High output & low-frequency power — With a large 15″ driver and powered design, it can deliver strong, room-filling sound with deep, punchy bass, making it suitable for medium- to large-size venues, halls, gigs, parties or events.

Versatile connectivity & usage scenarios — Because it’s powered, you can plug in various sources: mixers, instruments, microphones (depending on input configuration), music players, etc. This makes DBR15 versatile: live music, DJ sets, parties, presentations, or PA use.

Ease of transport and setup compared to passive + amp + speaker chains — As an all-in-one speaker (driver + amp), DBR15 reduces the amount of gear you need, simplifies wiring, and speeds up setup and tear-down — valuable when you move it between venues or locations.

Durable build aimed at professional/live-sound use — Speakers like DBR15 are typically designed to withstand the rigors of live usage: transport, high volumes, and varied environments (indoor/outdoor).

Description

Years of experience

When Yamaha decided to build their DBR Series speakers, it used technology developed for the DSR and DXR Series speakers, then added a new level of portability. The DBR15’s Class D amplifier supplies up to 1000 watts of digital power, while the 15″ woofer and 1.4″ compression-driver tweeter turn all that power into dynamic sound. Yamaha houses these speakers in a compact, lightweight portable cabinet that’s the most easily transported of all their powered speakers.

Loads of flexibility

The DBR15’s cabinet allows it to be used as a free-standing speaker, a pole-mounted speaker, or a stage monitor. It also includes M8 rigging points so it can be flown above the stage or mounted on brackets (sold separately). Any way you slice it, you get as much as 132 dB sound pressure level from the 1000-watt amp and the special-design speakers. That’s a lot of output for a single 2-way cabinet, enough to cut through the noise of a packed house and then some. The 15″ driver also allows the DBR15 to serve as an alternative to a subwoofer for high-volume situations.

Ins and outs

The DBR15’s built-in mixer gives you two combination inputs which handle either XLR or 1/4″ TRS connectors. One input adds a stereo RCA input for playing a portable music player or other source. A single DBR15 can serve as a PA for presentations or speeches, an amplifier for your tunes, or a musical instrument amplifier, performing each task with remarkable volume and clarity.

Yamaha’s digital signal processing gives you a 2-way contour switch to optimise the speaker for front-of-house or monitor use, along with a 2-position high-pass filter that cuts bass for speech applications or use with a subwoofer. An XLR output allows you to daisy-chain the speaker with other DBR15s with a pass-through signal from channel 1 or a mix of channels 1 and 2.

Prepared to perform

If you’re ready to take your message or music to the people, the Yamaha DBR15 offers a combination of power and portability that makes it ideal for any situation where you need a lot of sound in a portable, affordable package.
