Just announced at the Winter NAMM 2012 are the new DXR and DXS series loudspeakers from Yamaha. All of the DXR speakers feature a 1100 watt D-class power amplifier module and a 3 channel intelligent mixer. The DXR series comes in 8 inch, 10 inch, 12 inch, and 15 inch speaker sizes. The DXS series sub-woofers include a 950 watt D-class amplifier module. This series comes in two models, a single 12 and a single 15 inch woofer. The advantage that these speakers have over other loudspeakers in this class is the built in DSP. The DSP not only protects the speaker from thermal and audio over load but ensures the best  sound quality possible is achieved. This DSP was designed in partnership with Nexo, one of the leading sound reinforcement companies in the industry. The speakers not only sound good but look good too. The DXR series is housed in a durable ABS enclosure, and the DXS Series is housed in a wood enclosure. These speakers can match any setting and have the right features for almost any sized gig. They are the only speakers you’ll ever really need. Check out the video below.
