Yamaha DBR Series DBR 15" 1000W Powered Speaker Cabinet

I wanted an alternative to lugging around my heavy Mackie SRM 450s and this hit the sweet spot. Very lightweight and I swear they are louder than the Mackie's. Definitely much clearer. QSC is probably a notch sharper, but for the price and portability this is great for a mobile DJ. I paired them with my Mackie DLM12s and it sounds sweet.

Great sound! Used this as my drum amplifier for my Yamaha and Roland edrums. I frequently used my Yamaha DD75 kit since it's easy to carry and this DBR10 size is just enough for portability as well. Having a switch to select low frequency cutoff or use it as a monitor is perfect. If you want bluetooth connection, this doesn’t have that feature. you need to get a separate bluetooth receiver and plug that into the RCA input jacks. This is an old model but really reliable and a proven workhorse.

Excellent monitor . Well worth it . Sounds very good . Thank you

This is my first speaker ever. I just needed an acoustic/mic set up so I was lookin lower budget. So for anyone in my situation read on! Looking up an down decent brands I found this low budget Yamaha to be the best among low budget powered speakers based purely off reviews and forums. I only bought one. If you need somethin extremely bass-ey you’re gonna need a sub. Which is kinda obvious but I thought I’d say it. But! I use a Taylor acoustic mainly.. with the guitars own EQ if I leave the bass normal the low E(E2) sounds great. If I turn the bass knob up on the guitar the speaker will rumble and rattle everything. Not chest thumping but very deep and very smooth. The highs on the guitar with the volume all the way up on the speaker and my guitar are clean and precise and a bit warm so it’s not ear piercing an harsh by any means. A nice keyboard would sound fantastic.. I can overpower our drummer with volume, not drown out but definitely get up higher then him. Especially with vocals which I use a ShureSM58 for anyone who cares. I have pierced my own ears with the mic and this speaker though haha. And it still didn’t clip. That’s in a garage band setting too with loud acoustics goin on. We opened the garage up and walked about 100 ft away and the speaker still sounded super clear and loud. I could’ve definitely walked 4-500 ft away and heard it just fine. Although that’s with no crowd or noise in between.. so take that for what it’s worth. Living on 1-2 acre properties I know my neighbors can definitely hear it with the garage open. So for my super basic use of this speaker I’m incredibly happy with it. It’s more expensive but nothing about it has disappointed me at this point. From its sound/volume to its design/weight. I’ve only used the back inputs and adjustability it has and my acoustics bass/treble EQ so I’ve done nothing fancy with the sound here and have definitely not stress tested it(except with the mic that one time which I mentioned above- in which it passed). I highly recommend this though. For anyone who’s serious about sound quality but on a budget this thing won’t disappoint.

UPDATE: i would give this speaker 5 stars but i don’t want to mislead people. I’ve used it hard 2.5 years and it sounds very good and well worth the money. I pair it with a DXR 15 and get rave reviews for my sound at all my gigs. It was rated 3 by me on account of what i thought i would get out of it (Bass and rich mids) it has just enough of each in hindsight if you are not bass heavy. It is very sturdy and clear sounding. The wind blew it over a year ago and it took a major tumble and still works perfectly. It’s been rained on as well. Original review below ————— I bought this speaker on account of all the great review alone. I have been gigging for 15 years and did pro sound for 7 of those. Judging by the reviews I figured there was almost no way to go wrong with this speaker. I was expecting to get something that I could rate a 4 at least myself. It well-built and incredibly light-weight. The volume is great but not what I expected. However in hindsight its to be expected from the weight. I tried it at home (I am a full-time solo live-looper so I demand performance out of a speaker) and was underwhelmed. I brought it to an outdoor patio gig and was very well-received but to me it didn't sound amazing. Everyone else thought it sounded great but I genuinely felt it was lacking depth and the ability to really move air. The mids were lacking fullness and the bass was not well defined. The high end seemed pretty good. To be fair its a good speaker but if you want TRULY great quality as a performer I would avoid the B series. I returned the speaker and am getting a DXR 15". Im hoping the upgrade in quality and woofer size gets me what I am looking for.

These speakers are crisp and clean and for someone like myself who plays out often the fact that there’s lightweight makes a big difference Yamaha always delivers quality product and Sweetwater in cooperation with the manufacturer always delivers quality service. Thank you for all that you do. TK

Good value speakers for the money. Not the most powerful, but the were plenty powerful enough for the speaking events I needed them for.

Great sound and great clarity along with the Bluetooth JBL microphones in our manufacturing facility

The sound production and performance is amazing

Es un altavoz potente (133 db), quizá el más potente de las gama de entrada de diferentes marcas como JBL, EV, QSC, HK, DAS, LD, Audiocenter, Mackie, etc. La calidad de audio es buena y la esperada para este segmento. Está muy bien protegido internamente, no se calienta (trae su propio ventilador a comparación de la ZLX de EV) y se autoprotege, por lo cual, no tiene tema que rápidamente llega al límite como EV. En cuanto a construcción, se siente plasticoso (como las Kaiser) pero nada de qué preocuparse si eres cuidadoso con tus cosas (tampoco es que se sienta que se rompa al primer golpe). Es un altavoz muy sencillo, no tiene escenas ni mucho de dónde moverle (aunque conectado a una mixer no tienes de qué preocuparte por efectos). Aprovechando que tenía mis QSC K12.2 cerca decidí hacer una pequeña comparativa en espejo. Si bien no es una competencia justa porque la serie K12.2 compite contra la DXR, el resultado es bastante bueno para ser 10 mil pesos MXN (500 dólares) más barata. Sí, se nota la diferencia de calidad de audio pero por el precio está bien justificado. De hecho estás DRB las usaría para un sonido de menores prestaciones (servicio más barato), o como sonido de complemento para cuando necesite cubrir un mayor número de gente. Considero que un par de estos altavoces cubren sin problema en un lugar cerrado hasta 150 personas sin exigirle mucho a los graves y con una buena ecualización. En resumen, si buscas algo potente, duradero y que se escuche bien y a buen precio, estos altavoces te dejarán más que satisfecho.

Good sound quality and build up quality and sound clarity I'm satisfied with this product..
