Serie DSR

The DSR development team took full advantage of a number of advanced digital technologies, both new and refined, based on Yamaha's extensive experience accumulated over many long years of developing professional audio equipment. Leading-edge digital technological innovations incorporated into the DSR Series loudspeakers include Integral Digital Tuning, Intelligent Dynamic Control, Powerful Digital Drive and Extensive DSP Protection. These four "D" technologies combine to make possible the extreme performance capabilities of the DSR Series, hence the name: Xtreme D is born.

The digital crossover networks employ high-order FIR* filters that provide linear phase response. Yamaha's proprietary FIR-X tuningT simultaneously optimizes frequency and phase response, while adjusting the time alignment between the HF and LF transducers.The end result is sound quality with much better clarity and imaging than is possible with typical crossovers.* Finite Impulse Response

Todas las señales son procesadas con absoluta precisión por un procesador interno de alto rendimiento a 48 bits (acumulador de 76 bits), proporcionando una calidad de sonido óptima. La serie DSR utiliza convertidores AD y DA discretos de alta precisión con una excelente relación sonido/ruido y un rango dinámico muy amplio. La señal analógica se transmite usando canales dobles, se convierte a digital y se suman ambas dentro del procesador. El uso de este algoritmo permitió mejorar la relación sonido/ruido unos 3 dB.

D-CONTOUR is a multi-band dynamic processor featuring intelligent sensing. Normally a compressor is used to boost SPL, but this would effect the entire audio bandwidth resulting in a constricted feel to the sound. D-CONTOUR works by constantly monitoring the output of multiple frequency bands, feeding the data back into the intelligent sensing system. This system then calculates the optimum EQ adjustments for each frequency band, resulting in maximum SPL while maintaining musicality. These EQ adjustments are performed in a highly intelligent manner, linked directly to the auditory response of the human ear. Hence the DSR Series can continuously deliver sound that is natural, clear and powerful - regardless of volume. D-CONTOUR can be turned on or off depending on the acoustic environment and type of sound desired.

Yamaha's next-generation Class-D amplifiers deliver as much as 1300W* of power with precision damping for tight and crisp sound from compact, lightweight modules. Through the ideal combination of amplifiers, transducers and DSP, the DSR Series loudspeakers provide the highest levels of power in their class and SPL up to 138dB, while maintaining precise dynamics and sound reproduction. Efficiency is such that convection cooling is all that is necessary, eliminating the need for fans.

HF: The high frequencies of all full range models are handled by a 2" titanium diaphragm neodymium compression driver capable of reproducing incredibly transparent, accurate high frequencies up to 20kHz. The 2" voice coil is large for this class of speaker. It provides high power handling for powerful sound with low distortion even at high outputs. The HF transducers use lightweight, compact neodymium magnets, significantly contributing to the low weight of the loudspeaker system for easy portability. Thanks to these high performance components, the DSR Series exhibits superior dynamics even at high volumes and extremely clear vocals for superb performance in a wide range of environments, from small venues to large halls and outdoor PA.

LF: The DSR Series cast aluminum woofers boast a large 3" voice coil*, and the DSR112 and DSR115, designed for easy portability, have light, strong neodymium magnets. This makes the speakers lightweight yet capable of delivering awesome power with warmth and deep bass response. The woofers' superior bass range control and reproduction of mid-bass vocal presence produces fast, powerful bass that does not affect the contour, achieving sound with minimal distortion, even during high volume outputs.
