The first time I used these I done a quick sound test between the different profiles just before the gig was about to start to see which was the best profile for that venue, I found FOH was the best for this venue loads of volume at high level and plenty of headroom not that I was using them at stupidly high level once guests arrived, D contour off gave a nice balance across the mid-highs and bass, D contour on gave an extended bottom end at a reasonable high level before the clip light would come on, it's more for lower level applications where that bottom end is required.
Monitor profile bought out the mid-highs and reduced the bass a bit because of this I thought it lack body, naturally given the profile name stands to reason that it's emphasis is on vocals.
I know the hall was empty at the time of carrying out the sound check before anyone mentions that, but it sounded just the same even when the dance floor was packed awesome, I was very impressed and at the end of the night I touched the back of the amp panel and is was almost near cold.

Very nice demonstration. I have a Yamaha Mixer I quite like. I heard another reviewer say years ago that Performing Bands especially like Yamaha Pro Loudspeakers because they are more versatile with EQ & such. I can hear the same with these. A nice EQ would be fun to play with as well as the room acoustics. Surely a safe choice & good bet & spending ones $$$.
Thanks mate yeah these are packed with features such as parametric eq, crossover, delay, you get alot for your money
It’s good to see real world examples (although there are no people in the venue which has a significant effect on the sound as we all know), so plenty of props for that bro. I have the set below yours (DSR115/DXS18) and currently scoping out the DZR12 to replace my old , but trusty, Turbosound TQ 445dp. Have always thought about the DZR15 but have heard mixed views on how much of a step up is it really from the DSR?
In my view/experience however, having the speakers in front of a stage, can result in loss of some of the sound, due to acoustics, behind you and into the recess. I would normally, subject to other factors such as location of doors/fire exits etc, put the speakers in the corner to gain extra bass, volume and direction from the walls. I would centre cluster the bins to benefit from the coupling effect. Notwithstanding, I do find that rooms with a curved roof benefits the sound and you get more throw due to the physics (I was in a fairly similar shaped room on Saturday- although it had other challenges).
Anyway, took advantage of being stimulated by your video. Keep up the good work. Btw, where in the UK are you (in general) I’m in North London?
@@manchah1 cheers bro very much appreciated 🙏 These test's I do are real life I really have no idea how it'll pan out you can only go so far looking at the data sheet and applying tricks you've picked up along the way to help get the most out of a setup. As you mentioned putting subs against a wall/corner channelling all that pressure in one direction towards the dance floor and running a delay if mid high are ahead to keep everything all in phase. But sometimes the layout of the venue doesn't allow for best speaker management. The dsr15 were good then came along the dzr15 I have used them in a large venue and pretty much full and they done alright obviously a dedicated sub aswell would of been even better but you've got to look at what your using and how well/not it does the job like in this case.
@@colinmobiledisco8661 great talk, as you say, you learn so much from various venues, layout, room shapes, surface materials etc. I like the fact that you experiment with different speaker set up’s, all adds to the experience. Keep up the good work. I’m picking up some good tips and ideas from you. Take care, manchah1 (aka DJMikeyJ)
@@manchah1 Thanks DJ Mikey J 🙏 I'm glad I've been able to help you and others, your right there are so many impacting factors to consider within a venue and then to get the best out of a system at the same time making it all look good.
Very nice review!
I keep reading many great things about DZR... unlike other PAs of yesteryear - clean, clear, neutral, flat, accurate, nice, etc.)
(I used to rent PAs for small parties in the 00s... and always thought they mad scratchy/harsh mids & highs and lacked any bass w/out sub)
Anyways... you ever try using these as home speakers, 3'-10' listening distance and.or low volume?
You think the DZR (no sub) can replace/pass for a Hi-Fi 12” or 15" speaker system for home-use or music-listening-room? Clarity, clean, neutral and detail wise.
Looking for cheaper alternative to expensive JBL L100 Classic, JBL 4349, or Klipsch Cornwall/Forte speakers.
Wondering if DZR could be a nice, cheaper alternative to expensive HiFi speakers/amp.
Any hiss or noise while turned On, at idle, w/ no music playing?
Currently, use cheapy Yamaha HS8 monitors for music-listening and love them, but wanna upgrade to 12” or 15” speakers for a bigger “live sound” (but still need good sound quality & clarity)… wondering if the DZR are as clear, clean, flat, accurate, neutral sounding as studio monitors (I've heard they sound like studio monitors, but just giant).
How does the DZR sound at low volumes? Or, listening to them from a 3’-10’ listening distance?
My small music-listening-room is a two-car garage, 23’ x 23’ (roughly 50m2)
Any help appreciated.
Thanks mate, can the DZR pass for house speaker sure depending what your looking for. If you want quality like B&W hifi speaker then no as the these high quality hifi speaker are built for that purpose where you can pick out every instrument in detail. But at low level and with fine tuning they are great and hold the quality very well at high levels without dropping off for sustained periods of course that's if your using them correctly and not pushing them beyond their limits. If people are pushing their speaker beyond their limits its because of 2 reasons 1 there're unclear of what they are doing, 2 the setup for that venue is not big enough.
In summary I have used these the dzr15 in small and large venues and had no issues what so ever, obviously you can't beat using subs and mid-highs all depends on your purpose you intend using them for. Hope that's been of some help.
@@colinmobiledisco8661thanks for the reply… I hope to give them a try someday! 🙏
Nice video! Do you have a subwoofer? A sub will save those Yamahas from over working.
Cheers mate, yeah I've got subs but due to back problems that's why I went down the dzr15 route.
@@colinmobiledisco8661 ugh!!! Sorry to hear about that!! Keep the videos coming!
@@djromeograte8180 will do cheers for that 👍
Which lights are those your using
The pumps are equinox spectra pix, and chauvet gigbar move ils on the T bar
I’m looking to get the dzr10’s due to the size and my vehicle, also looking to pair them with 2 QSC 12” subs. But still debating on the 12” dzr’s also.
If transportation is an issue for you consider the fbt ventis 206a along with the qsc subs these speaker are ridiculously loud I wouldn't use them on their own but when used with a sub and set correctly omg and the size they are bloody small but pack a hell of a punch.
Check out my last vlog
@@colinmobiledisco8661 oh really? I’ve never heard of them, I’m going to look at your vlog. Thank you so much for your reply.
HI first thank you for sharing this, but your microphone did no good to the sound. We couldn't really hear the difference which I'm sure you could in the real situation. I've just ordered them myself, and I hope I'm gonna be happy with them.
It's really hard to appreciate just how good they sound and the difference between the presets, due to compression and youtube conversion, but I'm very happy with them and the venue I done the test in is very big and they didn't dissapoint there're pro speakers and you won't be gutted.
When you get them and use them let me know your opinion
DZR15 vs DXR15 ? I have a pair of DXR15 with 2 x DXS15 subs and love them. Playing music in a big hall like this need more boom. Music sounds flat and boring with no subs imo.
Agree with you 💯% I have a bad back hence why carrying subs isn't a option at the moment.
I also have the dxs18xlf and the dzr315 for the really big halls that'll require 2 men.
@@colinmobiledisco8661 its hard rigging up and down alone. You should team up with someone 🙏
@@theaverageguy3884 yeah I know that'll be handy if I had a roady it gets harder the older you get, I've probably got a couple of years left and that's me done.
@@colinmobiledisco8661 Be proud of what you have done and still doing. Age is nothing but a number imo. Im 44 and hardly started. Im a underground techno Dj hosting small events in parks and in the woods. All clubs and bars did shut down under the pandemic. Thats when the underound scene did boom here in Europe. Now its no way to stop it. We have never seen so many new Djs like we see now. Most Dj gear are sold out to. Know i got off topic with my long text 😊 in the end not stop what you loving to do. To entertane and play music to others 🙏
@@theaverageguy3884 Thanks for your words of encouragement very much appreciated 🙏I only started vloging about a couple of years ago so new to it really but been a dj for about 37 years. We'll keep doing what we do which is entertaining because we love what we do and do what we love 👍
