Yamaha CXR12mk3 12" 1100W Passive Loudspeaker

Musicians and audio professionals who demand consistent clarity and controlled output need loudspeakers that translate performance energy into precise, room-filling sound. The Yamaha CXR12mk3 12" 1100W passive loudspeaker builds on the legacy of Yamaha’s DXR series as the passive counterpart to the updated DXRmk3 lineup, delivering significant improvements in acoustic performance, flexibility and usability. Proprietary 12" low-frequency and 1.75" high-frequency drivers work alongside an updated wide-coverage horn and optimized port design to enhance directivity and low-frequency response. A lightweight, high-performance molded enclosure reduces resonance while supporting portability, making the CXR12mk3 a dependable speaker solution for mobile DJs, bands and event production professionals seeking consistent, professional sound reinforcement.

High-Durability Drivers and Improved Directivity

The CXR12mk3 features Yamaha proprietary high-durability LF and HF drivers engineered for clarity, precision and long-term reliability. The 12" low-frequency driver supports symmetrical movement for controlled bass response, while the high-frequency compression driver with polyimide diaphragm reduces distortion and enhances durability. Finally, a large-diameter horn improves high-frequency directivity across a wide frequency range, helping deliver consistent coverage and balanced sound throughout the listening area.

Lightweight Molded Enclosure and Optimized Acoustic Design

A lightweight, high-strength molded enclosure reduces cabinet resonance while maintaining durability for frequent transport and setup. Updated port positioning minimizes standing wave effects and improves low-frequency accuracy, delivering tighter, more controlled performance. This optimized acoustic design supports consistent sound quality across portable and installed applications, whether used for front-of-house, monitoring or side-fill roles.

Flexible Deployment and System Integration

Dual-angle pole sockets offer both standard and 7° down-tilt positioning for improved audience coverage, while the symmetrical cabinet design supports mirrored placement for precise stage monitoring. Rubber-coated handles improve grip and comfort during transport, and integrated rigging points allow flexible installation using optional U-brackets, eyebolts and protective covers. When paired with Yamaha PX Series amplifiers and CXSmk3 subwoofers, the CXR12mk3 integrates seamlessly into complete Yamaha sound systems, delivering reliable performance across demanding live sound environments.
