Yamaha CBR10

Essential Information About Yamaha CBR Passive Speakers

• Powerful and defined sound thanks to optimized transducers and a constant directivity horn.


• Even coverage with a wide dispersion waveguide of 90degx60deg, ideal when the audience is spread out to the sides.


• High-level reliability through a tweeter protection circuit and a low-inertia woofer.


• Total versatility: front of house, stage monitors, or fixed installation thanks to M8 mounting points.

A series designed in continuity with Yamaha's sound reinforcement expertise

The CBR series follows Yamaha's tradition of designing sound reinforcement speakers, building on rigorous material choices and advanced optimization of audio components. The goal is clear: to offer passive speakers that are both portable, robust, and capable of delivering high definition even at high volume levels, while remaining easy to deploy on stage or during performances.

Who are the Yamaha CBR speakers for: stage, rehearsal, DJ, and light installations

The Yamaha CBR speakers are designed for musicians, DJs, service providers, and venues needing an efficient and versatile system. On the front of house, they ensure clear projection for vocals and instruments. As stage monitors, their beveled edge facilitates placement and close listening. For fixed installations, their inserts allow clean integration into a room, rehearsal studio, mobile stage, or event space.

Acoustic and practical choices serving clarity and longevity

Optimized transducers and controlled directivity

Each speaker in the CBR series relies on carefully selected transducers: a "lively" low-inertia woofer for fast response, and a compression driver designed to preserve precision and limit distortion at high levels. The constant directivity horn, combined with wide dispersion, helps maintain a consistent sound even off-axis, ensuring the mix remains clear over a wider listening area.

Tweeter protection: play loud without worries

When sound pressure increases, the risk of overloading is real. The CBR series incorporates a protection circuit that prevents excessive levels at the tweeter to secure use in demanding conditions (concerts, speeches, parties, dynamic rehearsals). The result: a more reliable sound delivery designed to last.

Compact enclosure, easy transport, steel grille

The plastic enclosure is designed to combine lightweight and durability, with a front steel grille protecting the speakers from everyday impacts. Ergonomic handles improve grip during setup and teardown, a real plus when moving frequently.

Simple and effective connectivity

The CBR series relies on quick and direct connections, suitable for both professional environments and more versatile configurations: speakON and 6.35mm Jack connectors. A practical choice for easy integration with many amplifiers and sound reinforcement cabling.

Also designed for stage monitoring and mounting

For wedge use, the 50deg beveled edge promotes orientation towards the performer. The CBR12 and CBR15 models additionally feature a symmetrical design useful for mirror-mode monitors and a cleaner stage setup. For installation, threaded M8 insert points allow mounting (brackets and eye bolts not included), meeting the needs of venues and fixed installations.

Optional covers: everyday protection

Protective covers (optional) complement the series to reduce the impact of dust, storage, and transport, while maintaining access to handles and the rear panel. They are designed to allow use with the cover on, thanks to adapted ventilation, while remaining intended for "everyday use" protection (no guarantee against water runoff or splashes).
