Live sound engineers in search of a professional-grade, active floor monitor will be impressed with the black Yamaha DHR12M, a compact, powered, two-way coaxial floor monitor / loudspeaker that's well suited for clubs, bars, and other live sound applications.

The speaker features a 1000W Class-D amplifier that delivers 800W to the 12" woofer and 200W to the 1.75" compression driver, which are arranged in a coaxial configuration to deliver precise, smooth phase, and frequency response characteristics ideal for use in monitoring application. The monitor offers a frequency range of 55 Hz to 20 kHz. With a maximum SPL output of 129 dB, the floor monitor can easily cut through perilous stage volumes. When used as a main PA, a pair of DHR12M can provide plenty of volume to cover an audience of 300 patrons.

Two inputs are on the back. Inputs 1 and 2 feature combo XLR-1/4" connectors. Input 1 offers a Microphone/Line input switch, while input 2 provides a line-level input and includes a stereo RCA for unbalanced connections. Both inputs feature independent volume controls, allowing you to connect a microphone and line-level source or instrument DI for singer/song writer applications. An XLR output features a Thru/Mix switch that allows the signal from input 1 to pass through or combine the signals from input 1 and 2 together for greater flexibility in deployment.

Other notable features include a high-pass filter (120 or 100 Hz) for use with a subwoofer and a contour switch that utilizes FIR-X tuning technology for system tuning. The FOH/Main setting boosts the high and low frequencies suitable for a main speaker, while the Monitor setting reduces the low-frequency range for using the speaker as a floor monitor.

The plywood enclosure is finished with a durable Polyurea coating and features a rugged metal grille. A standard 1.4" pole socket is available on one side of the speaker, allowing it to be mounted on a speaker pole for side-fill monitoring or main FOH applications.

Q: 1. Can the track wheels ride on 3/4 PVC pipe?

A: I have not tried it, but i think might work as long as the wheels fit on it. This dolly works really good. I reccomend using the track from the same glide gear products, as it is strong and can bu used on not leveled ground.

Q: 2. Hello. I would like to know he dimensions when it is opened?

A: The product is 28" wide when opened.

Q: 3. This compatible with Kessler K-Flex Dolly Track?

A: Yes

Q: 4. does this come with a track?

A: No, this kit contains the tripod roller bracket and the track wheels. I also bought a section of their rubber track but you could use various items to ride on (like PVC or even larger diameter garden hose if rigid enough).

Q: 5. will this work with flexible curving track?

A: The Glide Gear SYL-960 is not designed to work with Flexible track. The Track option for this dolly is BH #GLSYL101. An idea for a Flex track model is Dolly B&H # DIOD and Track B&H # DIODFWS.

Q: 6. Will this head fit on Peak Design Tripod? Thanks in advance.

A: No. The following unit offers a integrated ball head that can not be removed.

Q: 7. If I wanted to point my camera straight up can this head accomplish that? Would I have to turn the camera a quick release plate around backwards?

A: I use a Manfrotto 410 geared head which has the same limited up pointing constraint. I mount my telescope, which obviously needs to point way up, on it. To get around the up pointing constraint I mount the QR plate with the telescope pointing "backwards." When I connect the telescope to the mount I am using the downward pitch as my upward pitch. Since the Benro plates are Arca-Swiss comparable there is no front or back to them. To maintain 3-way operation I would mount the plate in line with the optical axis of the camera and mount the camera to the head with the lens pointing out over the pitch handle. That is going to require reaching around the head to got to that handle which will be a little awkward, but allows control of pitch, yaw, and roll which becomes limited if the camera is mounted "sideways" as suggested by Staff.

Q: 8. Will spiked tripod feet work if they have the manfroto rubber shoes on them?

A: This is a universal dolly that can fit with a wide variety of tripods. It is geared more towards round feet though.

Q: 9. Is there an idle arm for this product?

A: There is not.

Q: 10. Is there a recommended bag that will fit the Dolly with the Track wheels installed?

A: ShooTools Dolly 360 Carrying Bag BH #SH81030076 • MFR #SH81030076. May be a bit large but it is a good option to consider.
