Our take on the Yamaha DXR8MKII - 1100W 8" Powered Loudspeaker

The DXR8mkII is an 8-inch two-way powered loudspeaker rated at 1100W peak, with a 1.75-inch neodymium compression driver on a rotatable horn. Yamaha developed it with touring specialist NEXO and claims up to 134dB SPL from a compact cabinet. It suits solo performers, small bands and DJs who want a light, loud box for front-of-house or monitor duty. Against 10- and 12-inch rivals it gives up low-end extension, but it is easier to carry and still plays cleanly at high levels.

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers generally rate the DXR8mkII as a reliable, loud and clean small powered speaker. Most praise its vocal clarity, light weight and build; the main complaint is limited bass for bass-heavy material.

What people mention
  • Sound clarityPraisedOwners say vocals and acoustic instruments come through clearly and stay clean at high volume.
  • BassCriticisedReviewers note the 8-inch woofer does not go deep, so bass-heavy music needs a subwoofer.
  • WeightPraisedUsers like that it is easy for one person to carry and set up.
  • BuildPraisedOwners describe the cabinet and hardware as sturdy and road-ready.
  • OutputPraisedReviewers report it plays louder than expected for its size.
  • ValueMixedSome say it costs more than budget 8-inch powered speakers but delivers better sound.

About the Yamaha DXR8MKII - 1100W 8" Powered Loudspeaker

The Yamaha DXR8mkII is an 8" powered loudspeaker with onboard amplification in a compact cabinet. It is a full-range model in the four-model DXR mkII Series, which suits front-of-house sound, monitors, simple amplification and rigged applications. Yamaha developed the series with touring loudspeaker specialists NEXO.

An 8" low-frequency driver handles bass and mids. A 1.75" neodymium HF compression driver reproduces high frequencies up to 20kHz. The driver is mounted to a 90° x 60° constant directivity horn, which gives 90° horizontal by 60° vertical coverage. Maximum output is 134dB SPL.

Yamaha's DSP uses FIR-X tuning, with linear phase FIR filters in the crossover, to optimize frequency and phase response and time-align the HF and LF transducers. Signals are processed by a 48-bit (76-bit accumulator) processor and 24-bit discrete A/D and D/A converters. D-CONTOUR is a multi-band compressor with two modes. FOH/MAIN mode boosts low frequencies for suspended or stand-mounted use. MONITOR mode reduces the low-frequency buildup caused by floor reflection. Limiter settings and protection functions monitor the power supply, power amplifiers, transducers and signals.

Questions and answers

Is the DXR8mkII loud enough for a small band?
Yes for vocals and acoustic sets in small rooms. It is rated up to 134dB SPL, but a band with drums and bass will want a subwoofer or larger models.
Do I need a subwoofer with it?
For DJ sets, hip-hop or loud rock, yes. The 8-inch woofer handles mids and upper bass well but does not reach the low end a 12- or 15-inch speaker gives.
Can it be used as a floor monitor?
Yes. The cabinet has a monitor angle, and the horn rotates so you can set the coverage for floor or pole use.
How does it compare with the DXR10mkII?
The DXR10mkII has a 10-inch woofer, so it plays lower and louder. The DXR8mkII is smaller and lighter, which matters for solo performers and tight spaces.
What connections does it have?
It has balanced combo XLR/TRS inputs plus thru outputs, with onboard DSP for EQ and protection. It is not a full mixer, so larger setups need an external mixer.
Is it good for permanent installation?
Yes. The plywood cabinet, pole mount and rigging points suit fixed installs in clubs, houses of worship and conference rooms.
