YAMAHA DSR112 ACTIVE LOUDSPEAKERS

Powered for the people

FOR: Highly defined mains and monitors. Over the past several decades Yamaha has made its mark with high quality PA gear. With smart design elements like interlocking AC plugs and receptacles and a whopping 1,300 watts of Class D power, the DSR112s demonstrate that Yamaha still delivers the goods. With the Mic/Line switch set to Mic, the HPF (high pass filter) button cuts all frequencies below 120Hz, reducing feedback-inciting low-end rumble. The DSR112s deliver lush but crisp vocals with loads of dynamics and plenty of headroom to spare. With Line selected, activating the D-Contour button accentuates the highs and lows for dance-oriented music. Overall we found the 12-inch woofers to be well-defined and not boomy, and the two-inch tweeters crisp but not too bright. What impressed us most was the level of depth and clarity: We were actually able to hear the difference in MP3 bit rates thanks to the DSR’s 24-bit AD/DA converters.

NOT FOR: Obeying local sound ordinances.
