PA played a significant role in Yamaha’s offerings this year, led by the new DZR Series speakers, which represent Yamaha’s first fully-integrated, smart editable range of professional, powered loudspeakers. The Series consists of four powered models: the two-way DZR10, DZR12 and DZR15 and the three-way DZR 315. All DZR-D models come Dante equipped, enabling smart system integration with Yamaha digital mixing consoles. What’s particularly noteworthy is the seven year warranty end users can now claim on these products!
