Back to Product Information
Sound: Absolutely great sounding, rich, super tight, end very pleasant. Good for any style of music, but I found that R&B, acoustic rock, etc.... is where it shined so much. For dance, it delivers, but other boxes have more oumph, but don't have as much beauty from lows to highs. Feature: Only problem, just a tad heavy compared to the other new powered speakers, and the top only handle isn't great to set up on pole mount. Ease of Use: Plug & play, perfect sound. Quality: Super well constructed, tough, well finished product. Value: It is amongst the more costly powered speakers, but it is amongst (or THE) best. The Wow Factor: Great looks, 100% pro design. Overall: Pretty impressive all over. But some kind of side way handle to get it up on stands would have been perfect.

Sound: Clear, balanced and excellent headroom. Blows our drummer's qsc k12 plastics away. Also have an FBT Verve which is ok, but troublesome. Use the dsr 112 with axe-fx live and it kills. Owned and compared DIRECTLY with QSC, FBT, RCFs, Mackies. Whooda' thunk that Yamaha would've produced a powered driver for Fractal Audio's Axe-FX!?! the dsr112 get my vote... and I voted with my wallet. Feature: No accessories. Not as may plug-ins as qsc but I don't use but the in and the out. Ease of Use: easy Quality: Solid. It's a wood composite but sounds measurabbly better than the qsc plastic. Value: This is a sleeper of a choice. Manufacturer Support: fine. The Wow Factor: Road-worthy as all get out!! Overall: Value, clarity, headroom = all there in spades.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: I'm a keyboardist and I bought this unit because my existing Stagepas 300 (300w) system was drowned out by my band. I needed way more power to be heard. I considered a lot of products but I bought this one on my faith in Yamaha and the fact that it was 1300w!!! When I got it, I was blown away by the volume levels but the piano sounds were horrid! I have a Yamaha S70xs keyboard with absolutely the best sample sounds available today (It's a Motif based keyboard). And, going through my Stagepas 300, I get fantastic piano sounds. Piano is the hardest sound to get right!!! I was about to return the DSR 112 but I thought I'd give it one more chance so I ordered another one thinking the stereo effect might give me a better sound. I was absolutely right! What a HUGE difference having 2 of them. Now, my piano sounds are amazing (and all the other sounds are amazing too) and, with 2600w of power, I can shake my house when I play at home and I can disintegrate my band if I wanted too! Feature: I wish they had at least thrown in a bag to keep it clean when transporting. At this price level, a bag should be a freebie. Ease of Use: Pretty straight forward. Plug and go. Quality: Yamaha always makes durable, roadworthy products. Value: It's a bit pricy but I don't know of any other product that can spit out 1300w and sound this good at this price point. Manufacturer Support: Yamaha has always been great in support. The Wow Factor: It's a p.a. speaker, and it's just a practical piece of gear. And, I wish it were not as heavy. It's 47 lbs. but even 40 would make a world of difference. Overall: This is a keeper. If it were lost or stolen, I'd buy the same thing.

Overall: Their is no other word to describe this small speakers but AWESOME! The cabinets are a little heave but when you hear the sound out of this its another world and makes you forget the 42LBS. I used them to DJ and can confidently book any event of any size and you hear the sound loud and clear. I have not been able to make them clip or distort. Yamaha did a great job with this speakers and the technology they put behind them When plug to AC you hear no hummmm at all, the technology behind the power splay takes care of any electric distortion reaching the speaker. I was booked for an event at a Small venue of 75 people and had sub and 2 of this dsr112 and ended up using only 1 DSR112 in full range and did the job on its own sounding clear and with great bottom, gave the reset of my equipment the day off. I played all type of music and the Crossover did its job. This is a great product. I em really glad I invested in this speakers

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
