Yamaha CHR12 – 12″ 2-Way Passive Loudspeaker
The Yamaha CHR12 delivers clear, punchy sound for main or utility reinforcement. It combines a 12-inch woofer with a 1.4-inch high-frequency driver to produce tight low-end response and detailed highs across a wide frequency range. Moreover, Yamaha designs the CHR12 using the same premium plywood construction found in the CZR Series, ensuring enhanced resonance control and impressive sonic clarity.
Durable Plywood Construction
Yamaha builds the CHR12 with a durable plywood enclosure and finishes it in a tough polyurea coating. As a result, the cabinet resists scratches and withstands demanding live environments. At the same time, the rigid construction reduces unwanted vibration, which helps maintain consistent, accurate sound at higher output levels.
Flexible Installation Options
Thanks to its rotatable HF horn, you can mount the CHR12 vertically or horizontally while maintaining optimal coverage. In addition, the dual-angle pole sockets allow you to choose between 0° or -7° tilt, making it easier to direct sound exactly where you need it. For more permanent setups, integrated rigging points support M10 eye bolts, and the optional UB-DXRDHR12 U-bracket expands mounting possibilities even further.
Optimized System Performance
To maximize performance, Yamaha pairs the CHR12 with DSP-equipped amplifiers and compatible processors that offer dedicated tuning presets. Consequently, you can achieve balanced, professional sound with minimal setup time. Whether you deploy it in live venues, houses of worship, or mobile PA systems, the CHR12 consistently delivers reliable, high-quality audio.
