Yamaha BR12 600W 12" 2-Way Passive Speaker

Affordable Passive PA Speaker for Live Sound

The Yamaha BR12 is a 12-inch passive loudspeaker designed to deliver reliable, full-range sound reinforcement for musicians, houses of worship, schools, and small venues. Built to balance performance and cost, this speaker provides strong output and clear audio reproduction without requiring powered amplification, making it a practical choice for existing PA systems and budget-conscious installations.

High-Output Woofer and Titanium High-Frequency Driver

At the core of the BR12 is a high-power 12-inch woofer paired with a 1-inch pure titanium compression driver. This combination delivers solid low-frequency punch alongside articulate highs, ensuring vocals cut through the mix while instruments retain clarity. The titanium diaphragm improves durability and consistency, especially in demanding live sound environments.

Controlled Coverage for Consistent Sound Dispersion

The BR12 uses a non-resonant constant-directivity horn that provides a 90-degree by 40-degree coverage pattern. This controlled dispersion helps distribute sound evenly across the audience area while reducing unwanted reflections. The result is more intelligible speech and balanced music reproduction in small to medium-sized rooms.

Durable Cabinet for Portable and Installed Use

Designed with real-world use in mind, the BR12 features a rugged enclosure equipped with steel corner protectors and large metal handles positioned at the cabinet’s center of gravity. These details make transport easier while protecting the cabinet from damage during load-in, load-out, and frequent handling.

Bass Reflex Design for Enhanced Low-End Response

The cabinet employs bass reflex technology to extend low-frequency performance without increasing enclosure size. This design allows the BR12 to produce deeper bass than many compact passive speakers, making it suitable for music playback, live bands, and speech reinforcement without the need for immediate subwoofer support.

Flexible Mounting and Long-Term Reliability

A built-in pole socket allows the BR12 to be mounted on a standard speaker stand for elevated placement, improving coverage in live sound applications. The passive crossover includes protection circuitry to guard the high-frequency driver against overload, supporting long service life and consistent performance over time.
