Description

Yamaha's A12M floor monitor combines 600W of peak power with premium components to deliver a rich, full range of sound ideal for live performance and recording applications. The 12" woofer provides a solid low-end foundation, while the 1" high-frequency horn capably handles frequencies up to 20kHz for shimmering, articulate highs. Encased in a rugged, carpeted wedge cabinet, the A12M is built to withstand the rigors of touring and is equally suited as a floor monitor or main speaker. Recessed handles and a heavy-duty metal grille protect the components and make transporting this workhorse easy. With Yamaha's reputation for quality, value and reliability, the A12M is an investment that will pay dividends for years to come.

600W of Peak Power for Any Application

Whether on stage or in the studio, the A12M's 600W of peak power provides all the volume you'll need. The 12" woofer and 1" high-frequency horn have been carefully tuned to work in tandem, with a frequency range of 65Hz to 20kHz for a balanced, articulate sound at any volume.

Road-Ready Wedge Design

The A12M's rugged MDF cabinet has a 30-degree wedge shape ideal for floor monitoring, with recessed handles that make transporting it easy. Carpeted sides prevent slips and scratches and steel grille protects the components within.

Yamaha Reliability and Value

With decades of experience designing professional audio equipment, Yamaha is renowned for building gear that delivers premium performance, reliability and value. The A12M continues this tradition, offering components and power that would cost significantly more from other brands. For crystal-clear, powerful sound you can count on year after year, the A12M is an investment that pays off.

    I bought two of these for a last minute addition to monitors for a national tour show and they sound great, even when pumped up quite loud. They're heavy and seem very solid. At this point, I wouldn't hesitate to buy more if I needed them.

  • A good floor monitor at a great price

    We bought this as a floor monitor for our church platform. It's bigger than I thought it would be; I should have checked the measurements more carefully but it works great. And was at a great price.

  • Works Great!

    I bought a pair of these to use as mains when I was was starting to build my live sound set-up; they were cheaper than the regular A12s at the time. I have them paired with the Yamaha EMX212S Powered Mixer, which provides just the right amount of power to these. Just a word of advice, when shopping for a power amp or mixer make sure that the power rating of the mixer does not exceed half of the peak power capacity of the speaker; an amp that is too powerful for the speaker could blow out the speaker if it is set to volumes that are too high. The peak of these speakers is supposedly 600W, but it is really 300W; this is because the units to rate the speakers are different than the units used to rate the power amp, don't ask why its just how they do it. Anyway this speaker is well built and sounds great with a good bass response. Perfect for people on a budget or really anyone interested in live sound.

    What is the cable suitable for this product ? I bought this speaker and didn't know the kind of cable to go with.

    Open Reply - Beau
    This monitor has Speakon and 1/4" inputs, so any standard speaker cable with either of these connectors would work.
