FIR-X tuningTM

The digital crossover networks employ high-order FIR* filters that provide linear phase response. Yamahas proprietary FIR-X tuning simultaneously optimizes frequency and phase response, while adjusting the time alignment between the HF and LF transducers. The end result is sound quality with much better clarity and imaging than is possible with typical crossovers.

High Performance Digital Signal Processor and 24-bit Discrete AD and DA Converters
All signals are precisely processed by a 48-bit internal processing (76-bit accumulator) high performance processor for optimum sound quality. The DSR Series employs high precision discrete AD and DA converters with superior S/N ratio and dynamic range. The analog signal is transmitted on dual channels, converted to digital and summed inside the processor. By using this algorithm, approximately 3dB of improvement in S/N ratio was realized.

INTELLIGENT DYNAMIC CONTROL*
D-CONTOUR (Dynamic-CONTOUR)
D-CONTOUR is a multi-band dynamic processor featuring intelligent sensing. Normally a compressor is used to boost SPL, but this would effect the entire audio bandwidth resulting in a constricted feel to the sound. D-CONTOUR works by constantly monitoring the output of multiple frequency bands, feeding the data back into the intelligent sensing system. This system then calculates the optimum EQ adjustments for each frequency band, resulting in maximum SPL while maintaining musicality. These EQ adjustments are performed in a highly intelligent manner, linked directly to the auditory response of the human ear. Hence the DSR Series can continuously deliver sound that is natural, clear and powerful - regardless of volume. D-CONTOUR can be turned on or off depending on the acoustic environment and type of sound desired.

Full-Resonance Switching-Mode Power Supply with PFC*

Power Factor Correction

The DSR Series employs a high efficiency switching-mode power supply with PFC. PFC harmonizes the phases of the load current and power supply voltage, maximizing power output and ensuring stable operation under severe conditions. The full resonance switching method uses both voltage resonance and current resonance, creating a clean power supply waveform with minimal high frequency noise. This clean, efficient power supply enables the entire speaker system to achieve its full performance potential.

Isolated DSP Section

The DSP section is completely shielded, totally isolating it from the amp and power supply. This prevents external noise from adversely affecting the sound quality.
High Efciency Natural Convection Heat Sink and Internal Structure
The heat sink uses super-efficient cooling fins and is integrated with the aluminum diecast rear panel. Circuit boards are installed on the back of the rear panel, with all parts including the DSP, amplifiers and power supply laid out to ensure maximum heat conductivity. With the entire structure dedicated to preventing heat buildup, the service lifetimes of all components are significantly increased. Furthermore, the internal structure is designed to achieve the highest sound quality. For example, the DSP unit is completely shielded to separate it from the amp and power supply, preventing noise interference.

Switchable White Front LED
Each DSR Series loudspeaker has a white LED behind the front grille. When engaged, the LED illuminates while the power is on and also indicates the onset of system limiting. In addition, the brightness varies depending on the amount of limiting, so it is easy to monitor the status of the speaker from in front of the speaker system. This makes it easier to ensure that your mixer level is optimal, so you get the best sound from your DSR.

Superior Electronic, Acoustic and Mechanical Technologies
Superior Electronic, Acoustic and Mechanical Technologies for Optimum Performance
The outstanding performance of the DSR Series is due to more than advanced digital technologies; these loudspeakers were designed without compromise, masterfully applying analog circuit technologies, acoustic technologies, and structural technologies. Transducers were scrupulously selected, then thoroughly customized. The waveguide horn was designed and optimized for the DSR Series requirements. The cabinet structure was thoroughly analyzed to maximize acoustic properties, durability, portability and versatility. As a result, the DSR Series offers reliability and functionality that meet the strict demands of professionals, deliver top-quality performance and are ideally suited for a wide range of applications.
HF: The high frequencies of all full range models are handled by a 2 titanium diaphragm neodymium compression driver capable of reproducing incredibly transparent, accurate high frequencies up to 20kHz. The 2 voice coil is large for this class of speaker. It provides high power handling for powerful sound with low distortion even at high outputs. The HF transducers use lightweight, compact neodymium magnets, significantly contributing to the low weight of the loudspeaker system for easy portability. Thanks to these high performance components, the DSR Series exhibits superior dynamics even at high volumes and extremely clear vocals for superb performance in a wide range of environments, from small venues to large halls and outdoor PA.

Premium-Grade Custom-Designed Transducers
The transducer is all important in determining the sound quality of a speaker. For the DSR Series, we thoroughly analyzed a wide range of transducers, choosing low-distortion units that provide extremely flat frequency response, wide dynamic range and high power handling. They were further customized to match the properties of each speakers cabinet and power amplifier combination. The result is a loudspeaker system with impressively deep bass, exceptionally clear mid-range and accurate high frequencies up to 20KHz.
