@damianhaber4890 6 лет назад

Use a 15" sub with the 12" tops, as if the dance floor is small ( 15 X 20 feet), an 18" won't be felt until at least 15 feet away.

thank you very much for the video .. i have a question if any body can help my brother plays rock music and the event always take place in small limited space room . i noticed once he try to add reverb or echo's to the sound effect there is that whistling sound that comes from the speakers .. very annoying my assumption is that they are using larger speakers then they should in a small size space now am i correct .. and if that the case what is the standard speakers size should be used in medium to a small indoor space . to avoid the whistling sound and use sound effects without the troubles ? . if anyone can help thank you very much

@kettnercreative 6 лет назад

It sounds like you have a feedback loop. This will happen regardless of the speakers. Basically: The speakers are too close to your microphone. The microphone is amplifying the speakers, which are amplifying the microphone. To get cleaner sound I would google "How to prevent audio feedback" and that will give you some tips on preventing the "whistling" that you're describing. Either that or you might just have a really bad reverb effect. No matter what is causing it, I don't think it has anything to do with the physical size of your speaker.

@East17A 6 лет назад

Kettner Creative Audio Visual thank you for clearfying that since the speakers size is not the cause now I realize that they are close to the microphones thank you very much man

What about the 15 inch DXR speakers? Do you find and advantage with the DSR 15's over the DXR 15's? I have a five piece rock band so I'm trying to pick the right speakers for a limited budget thank you

@kettnercreative 7 лет назад

The 15" DXR speakers don't make a lot of sense to us. For DXR you're paying a premium to have all of those inputs on the back of the speaker. When you're in the 15" range, you should be using a mixer with XLR output and the extra $200 to get DSR is worth it. Once you hit 15", you really should be using a full wood cabinet - In my opinion.

@kettnercreative 6 лет назад

I think once you're up into the 15" range, you're going to want a full wood box like the DSR115. For the price, I would prefer the DSR112 over the DXR15

@Tom-sd2vi 2 года назад

@@kettnercreative I think the DXR15 are mend to be used without subs as a budget solution, that makes them quite unique in the yammy lineup. So it's a budget solution. The DXR10/12 and the whole DSR line are mend to be paired with subs. What do you think?

@Tom-sd2vi 2 года назад

Thanks for the info, I suppose these recommendation are when using the speakers without subs? For example, for my 4-person rockband we have a pair of DXR12(mk2)'s for front of house right now. We are planning to add a pair of 15" subs later down the line. This combo should be a lot better than a pair of DSR12's without subs I am correct? Please let me know what you think.

Hi, sorry that I ask this late but I came across this video and maybe you can help me. I already have the Yamaha stagepass 400bt and I use it for outdoor preaching. I want to add something that it can sound louder and further. I was thinking about the Yamaha dxr series. But Im not sure which one I should get, 8? 10? 12?... and another thing, should I buy a pair or just one will be enough?

@kettnercreative 2 года назад

I always buy/use speakers in pairs. The size really depends on what matters to you. If you need something really portable, the 8" speakers are awesome!. If you want something a bit stronger and versatile, the 12" are the way to go. If you want something in the middle, go with the 10".

@cmenting 5 лет назад

Thank you for your great video... I am looking for live performance for around 100 people. I already have yamaha MX12XU mixer. What speakers do you suggest DXR or DSR or DBR?

@kettnercreative 3 года назад

You generally get what you pay for. I like all three, but DSR is definitely the best.

@Tom-sd2vi 2 года назад

We use 2 DXR12's and a DSR15 sub for band performanced up to around that 100 people. Does not leave a load of headroom but it certainly works very well. In my opinion I would only use de DBR's as monitors since they just don't sound good enough for front of house. The DSR sound even better but it is not a necessitiy. If you have the cash to spend go for it, otherwise the DXR will do fine.

@tearitloosetearitloose4670 2 года назад

@@kettnercreative the DXR is a bloody good speaker...especially for gigs of up to 100 people... and the DXR is not cheap. Not by any stretch.... DSR is not needed for this situation... you're full of shit

@acidatheist5191 6 лет назад

If you're a DJ with a dance floor directly in front of you and you're using a sub, wouldn't the 8" speaker typically be the best choice for widest coverage? The low end would be irrelevant because of the crossover yes?

@chasebarton1478 6 лет назад

This is not true, although you are crossing the speakers over, the larger speaker gives a fuller sound. I own the Yamaha dxr15’s and the dxr10’s and I like the sound of the 15’s more even if I am crossing it over. Also all of the Dxr series speakers have the same coverage 90 x 60.

@kettnercreative 6 лет назад

The 8" Speakers are wider, but they simply aren't suited for dance. We prefer to only use 8" speakers for talking head/corporate presentations.

Are you trying to connect an acoustic guitar or electric? Generally we've found that electric guitars sound better when you use a guitar amp. If you're wanting to connect an acoustic guitar, we recommend using a mixer so you can also adjust the EQ.

@VoortVlugtend 7 лет назад

For what would you recommend the DSR215s? We're thinking to get a pair for very large events, outdoor, perhaps as opposed to the two pairs of single 15s you mention in the video? (one should have less comb filtering and a more consistent sound then right?)

@kettnercreative 7 лет назад

Can you describe what "very large events" means to you? How many guests? Indoor or outdoor? This will help me make a recommendation.

@VoortVlugtend 7 лет назад

It depends on the music and nature of the event of course, but say recorded music or 4 piece rock bands and audiences of between 700 and 1500. Given enough subs, where would the extra low mid power of double 15s be advantageous over single 15s? It seems it may in such a case? Also, it seems to me if you can run the double 15s loud enough and they're not limiting in full range mode, and they're standing on the subs, why not? You'll get more low end and may actually require one less 18inch driver in your sub stack.. Because the bottom 15 inch driver will couple with the sub drivers beneath it if they're that close right?

@kettnercreative 7 лет назад

I think you would be better off with 4xDSR115 and 4xDXS18 if you're wanting an event that size. Even then, you may be a little underpowered. The advantages to having more speakers: - More portable - Easier to splay for even coverage Once you get up to 750-1000 people outdoor, you really are getting into line array territory and will be much better off having an array in the air. Ground supported solutions only work well for up to 500 people outdoor or 1000 indoor.

@VoortVlugtend 7 лет назад

But won't more single sources per side lead to unhealthy levels of comb filtering? These are indeed 90 degree dispersion boxes... If you had to double up and go for ultimate power what about 2x DSR215s per side (Ive seen lots of companies running the SRX725s in this way as super powerful ground stack systems).. that's why the interest in the DSR215s for that extra amount of low mids. Cause that is the frequency that will probably be most underrated with the single 115s, right?

@kettnercreative 7 лет назад

You won't get comb filtering if you splay the boxes properly. You will get much wider coverage which is what you want for events like this. Use the extra boxes to your advantage. You can do what you want, but I wouldn't recommend the 215s. If you go with my suggestion you can split your PA into two smaller stages for different events. They're much easier to transport, and will give you better flexibility of running two of the speakers as delays if you wish.
