This compact, lightweight speaker pair is the perfect solution for numerous applications equipped with a 15" LF driver and a 1" HF driver. It is excellent for installment applications, as its cabinet material is lightweight and durable, and its grill will protect the speakers from the hazards of venue life. It is great for mobile applications as well, again because of its light weight and rugged construction. This item is a pair of CBR15s, ideal passive speakers for common small club audience sizes.

The CBR Series was developed by adopting the extensive knowledge of speaker design and acoustic technologies that Yamaha has accrued over a long and storied history of making speakers of every kind. Combining a meticulous materials selection process, thorough customization of the audio components, and a fresh, innovative approach to speaker design, the engineering team's primary focus was to deliver high-power, high-definition sound in a highly portable and versatile design that is equally at home in front-of-house, floor monitoring, or rigged configurations.

Custom Designed Transducers and Wide-Dispersion Constant Directivity Horn
CBR Series speakers come equipped with carefully selected and customized transducers that feature a highly responsive woofer and a precise 2.5 compression driver (CBR15) or 2compression driver (CBR10 and CBR12), ensuring consistent high-definition sound with minimal distortion even at high output levels. Additionally, a newly designed wide-dispersion constant directivity horn minimizes the radiation pattern deterioration in oblique directions that more conventional horns are prone to, allowing sound to expand in a more rectangular pattern, evenly dispersing wide-frequency sound to the outer-most edges of the coverage area.

HF Protection and Highly Responsive LF Unit for Reliable Performance at Any Output Level
Have you ever blown your speakers by cranking up the output levels beyond your speakers capabilities? CBR Series speakers employ a protection function that limits excessive input to the HF unit. This valuable protection circuit affords you worry-free operation of your speakers when you need them most. Combined with a highly responsive LF unit, CBR Series speakers reliably deliver clear, precise sound at any output level.

Rugged, Highly Portable Enclosure Design
CBR Series speakers feature a very compact, durable, and lightweight plastic cabinet equipped with newly designed, ergonomic handles that greatly minimize system transport and setup. In addition, all CBR models feature a sleek, steel front grille that seamlessly blends in with installation aesthetics while protecting the vital inner speaker components from environmental hazards.

Simple Connectivity
CBR Series speakers are equipped with one speakON jack and one 1/4" Phone jack that allow for fast and easy connectivity in both personal and professional environments.

Smart Enclosure Design for Floor Monitoring
The CBR Series speakers feature an optimized 50 wedge angle for floor monitoring. In addition, the CBR12 and CBR15's symmetrical shape allows for effortless configuration of a mirror-mode floor monitoring system for a larger and more defined sweet spot.

Rigging Points for Installation Applications
CBR loudspeakers come equipped with M8 rigging points, allowing for rigged applications with optional speaker brackets or standardized eye-bolts.

    Bought these as a lighter and portable alternative to my Yamaha S115v's. The sound is very close with added bass. I was skeptical of the plastic enclosure but have performed excellent! Thinking of getting another pair for larger events or pairing them with my other S115 or Peavey S2''. The weight is perfect so I might get 2 more. As usual, compliment these with a sub for added bass and keep all speakers flat without adding bass. Wish they Would add a sub bottom in same CBR Series. Cheaper, lighter, and similar to MDF passive speakers; genius! Love my purchase!!! BTW I hate powered speakers for sound as the amps peak and distort, a separate amp and speaker combo outperforms.

  • Another fine product from Yamaha!

    Only used them twice so far, but Sound great!, very light/portable. Plastic cabinets scratch easily...buy the speaker covers if you plan on using for a mobile rig.. Somewhat disappointed in the lows below 80mhz,but that's what subs are for;. Another decent product from Yamaha. Over all, definitely recommend!!

    Can 4 of these speakers be ran in parallel? Do you have a recommended amp or powered mixer to supply them with? Thank you

    That would depend on the amp. 2 ohms on a mono load is borderline. You would be better off with a stereo head, 4 ohms per channel - Please see QSC GX3 Stereo Power Amplifier.
