Description

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.

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.
