Yamaha CBR10 10-Inch Passive Loudspeaker - High-Power Audio

The Yamaha CBR10 is a compact yet powerful 10-inch passive loudspeaker from the renowned CBR Series, engineered to deliver high-definition sound for a variety of applications. Whether you’re amplifying live music, setting up a DJ system, or installing audio in small venues like schools or churches, the CBR10 offers exceptional performance in a portable package. Weighing just 20.7 lbs (9.4 kg) and featuring ergonomic handles, this speaker is built for easy transport without sacrificing durability, thanks to its rugged plastic enclosure and sleek steel grille.

At its core, the CBR10 boasts custom-designed transducers: a 10-inch low-frequency (LF) woofer with a 2-inch voice coil and a 2-inch high-frequency (HF) compression driver, both powered by ferrite magnets. These components deliver punchy bass, smooth mids, and crisp highs with minimal distortion, even at its peak power handling of 700 watts (350W program, 175W RMS). The wide-dispersion constant directivity horn (90° horizontal x 60° vertical) ensures consistent sound coverage across a broad area, while an integrated HF protection circuit safeguards the driver from overload, guaranteeing reliability at high volumes.

Designed for versatility, the CBR10 adapts to multiple setups. Use it as a front-of-house speaker, a 50° wedge floor monitor, or a suspended unit with its M8 rigging points (optional brackets required). Connectivity is simple with one Neutrik speakON and one 1/4" phone jack input, making it compatible with various audio equipment. With a frequency range of 50 Hz – 20 kHz, 94 dB sensitivity, and a maximum SPL of 123 dB, this speaker excels in small to mid-sized venues or outdoor events for crowds of 100–300 people. For deeper bass, pair it with a subwoofer.

The CBR10’s technical specs—8-ohm impedance, 2.8 kHz crossover, and bass-reflex design—combine with its lightweight build (11.4" W x 19.4" H x 12.1" D) to make it a go-to choice for musicians, DJs, and sound engineers. Users rave about its portability, "punchy and smooth" sound, and sturdy construction, often comparing it favorably to competitors in its $250–$300 price range. Optional speaker covers enhance its suitability for mobile or outdoor use. The Yamaha CBR10 is the perfect blend of power, clarity, and convenience for both portable and installed audio solutions.
