Yamaha DXR8mkII 8″ 2-way Powered Loudspeaker

The Yamaha DXR8mkII is the most compact speaker in the DXR mkII Series. However, despite its small size, it delivers impressive power, clarity, and reliability. Because of its 1100W Class-D amplifier and advanced DSP, it produces high output with excellent detail.

In addition, pairing the DXR8mkII with a DXS12mkII subwoofer creates an ultra-compact yet powerful sound reinforcement system.

Louder, Lighter, Legendary

Since its introduction, the DXR Series has been known for strong output and advanced technology. Now, the DXR mkII Series builds on that legacy by delivering even higher SPL and improved sound clarity.

Moreover, the upgraded 1.75″ neodymium HF compression driver is both lighter and more efficient. As a result, vocals sound clearer and more natural, even at high volume levels.

Once again, Yamaha worked closely with NEXO, a global leader in touring loudspeakers. Therefore, the DXR mkII Series meets the real-world needs of sound professionals.

Compact Size, Powerful Performance

The DXR8mkII is ideal for both fixed installations and mobile live sound. Because it combines power, portability, and durability, it works well for DJs, performers, presenters, and venues with limited space.

In addition, its 90° × 60° coverage ensures even sound distribution across the audience.

Advanced DSP for Clear, Consistent Sound

The DXR8mkII uses Yamaha’s FIR-X™ tuning, which aligns frequency and phase response. As a result, the sound remains smooth and balanced across the full range.

Furthermore, D-CONTOUR automatically adjusts the EQ based on how the speaker is used.

• FOH / MAIN mode enhances low frequencies for stand-mounted use

• MONITOR mode reduces bass for clearer stage sound

Therefore, the speaker maintains clarity at any output level.

High-Efficiency 1100W Class-D Amplifier

The DXR8mkII features a newly designed Class-D amplifier that delivers up to 1100W of peak power. Because of its fast response and efficient design, it produces tight bass and clean transients.

In addition, the universal switching-mode power supply allows stable operation worldwide.

Built-In 3-Channel Mixer for Easy Setup

The onboard mixer supports up to three input sources, making the DXR8mkII ideal for simple sound systems.

Moreover, it allows you to:

• Connect microphones and line-level devices

• Mix signals directly on the speaker

• Link multiple speakers for larger setups

As a result, setup is quick and flexible.

Durable and Portable ABS Cabinet

The DXR8mkII uses a rugged ABS enclosure designed to reduce vibration and distortion. In addition, the steel grille and ergonomic handles improve durability and portability.

Because of this, the speaker performs reliably in demanding environments.
