Yamaha Adds White Version of Professional DZR/CZR Loudspeakers and Subwoofers to Expand Installation and Placement Flexibility

Leave a comment


Yamaha DZR/CZR speakers in new white finish versions.

“A speaker may be the right fit for a facility as far as output, but simply the wrong color for its overall look. The choice of a black or white finish allows placement in any environment,” said Nithin Cherian, product marketing manager, Yamaha Pro Audio.


BUENA PARK, Calif. (PRWEB)

Yamaha is expanding the installation options for its powered DZR/DXS-XLF and passive CZR/CXS-XLF professional loudspeakers and subwoofers, adding a white finish version for each model.

The white cabinets fit a broader range of sound system requirements, especially in spaces where aesthetics and design are equally important as sound coverage and performance, including churches, museums and upscale environments like high-end retail or hospitality venues.

The speakers and subs were first introduced in mid-2018 and have steadily gained acceptance from system integrators and sound engineers due to their sound quality and Dante network connectivity. The new color choice continues the Yamaha approach of listening and responding to customers’ needs.

“We often hear from integrators and even end users that a speaker is the right fit for their facility as far as output, but it’s simply the wrong color for their overall look,” said Nithin Cherian, product marketing manager, Yamaha Pro Audio. “Now, the choice of black or white finish models allows placement in any type of environment.”

The DZR line of powered speakers, along with the DXS-XLF powered subwoofers, use high-performance components and the latest DSP to provide superior audio quality. The digital processing in all powered models is done at 96kHz. This high speed, combined with a newly developed Advanced FIR-X tuning technology, minimizes latency and phase distortion.

The DZR and DXS series are also available with Dante integration. These “D” models incorporate smart system integration with Yamaha consoles and other Dante devices through a 2-in/2-out I/O configuration. Using the speakers’ built-in analog I/O and Dante break-IN and break-OUT capabilities enables flexible routing and easier system configuration and set up.

The CZR series of passive speakers are ideal for installations using remote power amplifiers. Adding the companion CXS-XLF subwoofers extends a sound system’s bottom end down to 29Hz for bass-heavy applications and, like their powered counterparts, the CZR and CXS-XLF feature best-in-class SPL performance.

When paired with Yamaha PX Series amplifiers or other compatible processors, the loudspeakers take full advantage of dedicated speaker processor tuning settings to produce DZR-quality sound.

Each powered and passive model is housed in a lightweight, durable, 15mm-thick plywood cabinet, coated with military-grade polyurea to withstand the rigors of travel, handling and weather. The cabinets are equipped with plenty of flypoints, suitable for standard eyebolts and specialized U-brackets for flying and hanging installation.

The black finish DZR/DXS-XLF and CZR/CXS-XLF loudspeakers and subwoofers are currently shipping, with the white finish cabinets expected to be available in spring of 2020, with pricing to be announced. Each series includes the following models:

Yamaha Fractional Sized YVN Model 3 Violins Complete Award-Winning Family

Leave a comment


News Image

“For the educator, each YVN Model 3 in their program means consistency of sound and a well-crafted instrument in the hands of their young students at every stage of their growth,” says Ken Dattmore, strings marketing manager, Winds & Strings, Yamaha Corporation of America.


ANAHEIM, Calif. (PRWEB)

Yamaha today introduced the YVN Model 3 one-half and YVN Model 3 three-quarter violins—two fractional sizes of the company’s award-winning YVN Model 3 Violin.

The new models build upon the success of the original model, which earned a Best in Show award when it was first introduced at last year’s NAMM music products convention. The addition of the fractional sizes to the full size now completes the YVN Model 3 violin offering.

Nearly a decade ago, Yamaha challenged itself to manufacture a high quality, durable student violin with greater precision, while generating less waste in the process. At the same time, the violin had to have excellent playability and a warm, rich sound to inspire young musicians. The result of this rethinking process is the YVN family of violins, which break new ground in the manufacture of string instruments for developing players, academic music programs and the rental market.

Like the full-size violin, the YVN00312 and YVN00334 utilize next generation technology to provide an exceptional playing experience, particularly for young students with smaller hands and stature. Drawing upon advanced building methods first developed for Yamaha percussion and wind instruments, these violins are constructed with the tight tolerances normally associated with much more expensive, luthier-built models.

A proprietary graduated “press-formed” spruce top offers exceptional resonance and the patented three-layer construction of the tops and backs uses just one-third the amount of wood previously consumed. These improvements allow the violins to sing with the rich tone of a graduated carved instrument while maintaining student-proof durability for renters, and all at a family-friendly price for those ready to invest in a quality-starter instrument.

Computer-aided design makes the Model 3 family of violins easier to service than traditional string instruments. Each piece is as precise as the one before it, so repair and replacement are simple tasks, making it both faster and more cost-effective to keep the violin at peak performance — an important consideration in academic music programs.

“Yamaha launched YVN Model 3 last year as a student outfit that offered consistency, durability, eco-friendly construction and great sound,” says Ken Dattmore, strings marketing manager, Winds & Strings, Yamaha Corporation of America. “For the educator, each YVN Model 3 in their program means consistency of sound and a well-crafted instrument in the hands of their young students at every stage of their growth.”

Pricing and Availability

The Yamaha YVN Model 3 YVN00312 and YVN00334 include a bow and sturdy shaped ABS case (MSRP: $835.00) and are expected to ship in April 2020.

For more information, please visit the Yamaha Booth at the 2020 NAMM Show in the Anaheim Marriott Hotel, Marquis Ballroom, January 16-19, 2020, or https://yamaha.io/YVN
