A 2-way bi-amped powered loudspeaker with a 15-inch woofer and 2-inch voice coil HF driver. Yamaha rates the DZR15 at 139dB maximum SPL, with a 2000W Class-D amplifier module and 96kHz DSP.
This is a REFURBISHED item, direct from Yamaha, and comes with half of the standard warranty (normally 5 years, so 2.5 years with this unit). Pickup is free, however due to the size and weight of the box, freight will be quoted for any order of delivery
Yamaha says the DZR Series is its first fully integrated, smart and editable range of professional powered loudspeakers. The DZR15 is the 15-inch two-way model in the series.
Yamaha introduces the DZR Series
Why you will love it
Power and drivers
The DZR15 pairs a 15-inch cone with a 3-inch voice coil and a 2-inch voice coil HF compression driver with a titanium diaphragm. Yamaha lists 2000W dynamic power (950W continuous), split between the LF and HF amplifiers, and a 1.7kHz FIR-X crossover.

DSP and Advanced FIR-X tuning
Yamaha says 96kHz DSP with linear-phase FIR filters gives a smooth response without phase distortion and very low latency. An onboard LCD screen gives access to PEQ, delay and routing, and stores up to 8 user presets that can be moved by USB flash drive.
D-CONTOUR and protection
Yamaha describes D-CONTOUR as an intelligent multi-band compressor with FOH/MAIN and MONITOR settings. DSP protection functions set limiter points for the drivers and amplifier. A panel lock keeps settings safe.

Flexible mounting
A rotatable constant-directivity horn lets you mount the speaker vertically or horizontally. The plywood cabinet has a Polyurea coating, a 50 degree symmetrical floor monitor angle, two pole sockets, M10 x 12 rigging points and optional U-brackets (UB-DZR15H/V). Yamaha says the floor monitoring setting enables a mirroring configuration.
Is it right for you?
A great fit if you…
- Need a compact powered PA speaker for bands, events or installs
- Want onboard DSP and presets without a separate processor
- Want a speaker that works as a floor monitor too
- Plan to rig or pole-mount the speaker
Worth knowing
- This is a refurbished unit; please read the condition note at the top of this page
- This is the non-Dante DZR15. Yamaha lists Dante on the DZR15-D
- Yamaha's 139dB figure is peak SPL measured with pink noise at 1m
- The speaker cover (SPCVR-DZR15) and U-brackets are optional accessories
- It weighs 25.2 kg, so plan for handling and mounting
Build your system
The DZR15 has two combo inputs and two XLR outputs.
- Mixer: Pair it with the Yamaha DM3 Standard digital mixer.
- More Yamaha PA: See the smaller DZR10 powered loudspeaker, the DBR12 powered loudspeaker or the STAGEPAS 200BTR portable PA.
