Yamaha CHR10

A CHR Speaker Designed to "Step Up to the Pro Level"

The Yamaha CHR series was developed to offer a genuine quality leap for those seeking more precise, reliable, and "professional" sound reinforcement without resorting to overly heavy or cumbersome formats. It stands out notably with premium plywood enclosures combined with a polyurea coating designed to withstand transportation, repeated setups, and demanding environments.

Within this range, the CHR10 holds a strategic position: it is the most compact model, optimized for front-of-house, installation, and event use, while maintaining solid construction and carefully selected transducers.

Who Is the Yamaha CHR10 For?

The Yamaha CHR10 is an excellent solution for service providers, venues, communities, businesses, and musicians who want a high-performance passive 2-way speaker that is easy to position and capable of delivering comfortable sound levels. Its 10-inch format makes it particularly relevant when space is limited (small stages, clubs, bars, multipurpose rooms, conferences), or when a discreet yet serious front-of-house speaker is desired.

It also integrates very well into modular setups: pairs of tops for front-of-house, reinforcement with subwoofer(s) as needed, or fixed installation on appropriate stands and rigging.

Design, Dispersion, and Integration: A Speaker Made for the Field

A Rigid Enclosure for Clearer Sound

The CHR10 features a plywood enclosure that promotes clear sound reproduction and limits unwanted vibrations. The result is improved intelligibility, cleaner low-mids, and a heightened sense of precision, especially appreciated on vocals, guitars, keyboards, and acoustic sources.

Rotatable HF Horn: The Right Coverage, in the Right Orientation

In both live events and installations, the speaker orientation may change depending on the stage, the width of the coverage area, or the audience position. The CHR10 can be mounted horizontally or vertically, and its rotatable HF horn ensures consistent dispersion in both cases. This is a real advantage for optimizing coverage without increasing the number of speakers, while maintaining a balanced sound.

Mounting, Transport, and System Compatibility

To adapt to real-world uses, the CHR10 includes a 35 mm pole mount for tripod mounting, as well as anchor points designed for eye bolts. For further integration, an optional UB-DXRDHR10 yoke allows vertical or horizontal use depending on the desired setup.

Finally, if you use Yamaha amplifiers equipped with DSP (or other compatible processors), dedicated presets may be available to optimize equalization and the overall system behavior, aiming to get the best performance from the speaker in its diffusion context.
