The Yamaha CXR12mk3 is a 2-way passive loudspeaker engineered to strike a deliberate balance between portability and acoustic muscle. Built around a 12" woofer paired with a 1.75" compression driver, this cabinet suits front-of-house duties, stage monitoring, or side-fill reinforcement across mid-to-large venues. Yamaha's design philosophy here prioritises directivity control and minimal resonance, making it a dependable workhorse for live sound applications where clarity and consistent coverage matter.
The CXR12mk3's cabinet employs form-injected moulded composite construction with an asymmetrical, functional shape that reduces weight without sacrificing rigidity. A large-diameter horn manages high-frequency dispersion across a broad frequency range, whilst optimised port positioning mitigates standing wave buildup inside the enclosure. Dual-angle pole sockets enable both 0° vertical and –7° downward tilt positioning, accommodating different stage layouts. Rigging points support eye bolt installation for suspended applications, and the CXR12mk3 accepts the optional UB-DXRDHR12AU bracket for flexible vertical or horizontal orientation without additional hardware reconfiguration.
Transport and outdoor exposure demand protection; the optional SPCOVER–DXR123 speaker cover shields the cabinet during extended storage, touring, or weathered performance environments. This combination of rugged passive design and available accessories makes the CXR12mk3 a practical choice for touring bands, rental houses, and fixed installations requiring genuine field durability alongside sonic consistency.
