Each model in the series has been optimized to meet the demands of a variety of sound reinforcement applications, with a 10” model for fixed installation and utilities, a 12” model designed for use as a floor monitor, and a 15” version for FOH applications —all featuring carefully selected custom transducers. Combined with practical features adapted for their specific applications, the series gives you the flexibility to choose the ideal speaker for a wide variety of sonic environments. Isn’t it time you audition CHR quality and performance to improve your sound?

The CHR12M is a 2-way loudspeaker with a 12-inch woofer and a 1.75-inch HF driver in a space saving coaxial configuration, perfect for use as a floor monitor. Combining carefully selected and customized transducers with the same plywood construction found on Yamaha’s high-end CZR Series, the CHR12M offers best-in-class sound quality and durability.

• The coaxial driver delivers precise, smooth phase and frequency response characteristics ideal for use in monitoring applications
• Featuring a plywood cabinet that delivers a clear sound with minimal vibration
• Compact, low profile, plywood enclosure with a polyurea coating for a robust, scratch-resistant surface
• A pole socket for use on a stand

Cabinet designs optimized for a range of audio environments

The CHR Series features a comprehensive lineup optimized to meet the demands of specific applications. The 10” model is equipped with a rotatable HF horn and a dedicated UB-DXRDHR10 U-bracket for use in fixed installations and utility, while the 12” model is the first Yamaha speaker to feature a coaxial compression driver for improved clarity and smoother frequency response for floor monitoring. The series is rounded out by a 15” model featuring dual-angle pole sockets and rigging points for use in fixed installations or as temporary main speakers for sound reinforcement.

Custom Designed Transducers

The high power output woofers deliver well-defined, powerful bass with minimal distortion, while the 1.4” precision compression driver* produces accurate mid-range and high frequencies.

* CHR12M features a 1.75” coaxial compression driver.

A Rugged, Highly Portable Cabinet

The CHR series feature plywood enclosures like our acclaimed CZR loudspeakers to deliver outstanding durability and acoustic performance.

Intelligent processing to maximize system performance

When used in combination with Yamaha PX Series amplifiers or other compatible signal processors, CHR Series loudspeakers can take full advantage of dedicated speaker processor tuning settings. (*Supported firmware is Ver1.63 or later.)

Dual-Angle Pole Mount Socket (CHR15)

Depending on the venue, sometimes your mix can fall prey to low ceilings or other room attributes that can impede a clear, even mix and detract from the audiences' listening experience significantly. The CHR15's pole mount socket offers two positions - 0° or -7° - to direct the acoustic energy away from reflective surfaces and on to your audience where it belongs.
