Level up your sound-reinforcement system with the Yamaha CHR12, a compact passive two-way loudspeaker, well suited for clubs, bars, and live-music venues.

The speaker can accommodate 1000W of power to drive the 12" woofer and the 1.4" compression driver, which combine to offer a frequency range of 54 Hz to 20 kHz. The 90x60° (HxV) horn is rotatable, allowing the speaker to be used either horizontally or vertically. With a maximum SPL output of 124 dB, a pair of CHR12s can provide plenty of volume to cover an audience of 300 patrons.

The high-power output woofer delivers powerful and well-defined bass with minimal distortion, while the 1.4" precision compression driver produces accurate midrange and high frequencies.

The CHR series features plywood enclosures like Yamaha's acclaimed DZR loudspeakers to deliver outstanding durability and acoustic performance.

When used in combination with Yamaha PX Series amplifiers or other compatible signal processors, CHR Series loudspeakers can take full advantage of dedicated speaker-processor tuning settings. Additionally, the CHR Series can be used to construct a system in combination with Yamaha subwoofers.

Depending on the venue, sometimes your mix can fall prey to low ceilings or other room attributes that can impede a clear, even mix, and detract from the audiences' listening experience significantly. The CHR12's pole-mount socket offers two positions, 0 and -7°, to direct the acoustic energy away from reflective surfaces and to your audience, where it belongs.
