Controls and Connectors

Rear

Bottom

1. Input jacks (CH1 and CH2)
   These are balanced combo jacks that support both XLR and phone plugs (both CH1 and CH2), and RCApin plugs (CH2 only). For the combo jacks, connect a mixer, microphone, or digital musical instrument such as a keyboard. For RCA-pin jacks, connect a device such as an MP3 player or a CD player. For devices with high level signals such as a mixer, connect to CH2, or connect to CH1 then set the [MIC/ LINE] switch (3) to [LINE].

2. [LEVEL] knobs
   Adjust the level of each input jack (1).

3. [MIC/LINE] switch
   Set this switch to [MIC] or [LINE] for the CH1 jack, depending on the level of the input signal. For lowlevel signals (such as microphones), set the switch to [MIC]. For high-level signals (such as mixer), set the switch to [LINE].

4. Output switch
   Selects the output signal sent to the output jack (5).
   [CH1 THRU]: Delivers the direct output signal of CH1 only. Signal from CH2 will not be output.
   [CH1+2 MIX]: Outputs the mixed signals of CH1 and CH2.

5. Output jack
   This is a balanced XLR jack. This can be used to connect another DBR speaker. Outputs the signal selected by 4 output switch.

6. [LIMIT] indicator
   Indicates (lit in red) that the limiter is on when the output voltage of the amplifier has exceeded the maximum level, or when excessive integral power consumption is detected. If this indicator stays lit, lower the input level.
   Note Integral power consumption refers to the sum of power provided to the speaker driver per unit time.

7. [SIGNAL] indicator
   Indicates (lit in green) when an audio signal exceeding the threshold has been detected.

8. [PROTECTION] indicator
   Indicates (lit in red) when the protection circuit is active. The protection circuit will be activated and the speaker outputs will be muted in the situations listed below.

   • If amplifier overheating is detected
   • If overcurrent is detected
   • When turning the power on; the protection circuit will be activated for a few seconds to prevent noise.
     The indicator turns off when the power supply has started normally. If the protection circuit has engaged, waiting until the amplifier cools down or powering off and on again will return to normal operation. If the unit does not return to normal operation, please contact your Yamaha dealer.

9. [POWER] indicator
   Indicates (lit in green) when the [ ] (power) (15) switch is turned on.

10. [D-CONTOUR] indicator
    Indicates (lit in yellow) when the [D-CONTOUR] switch (11) is set to [FOH/MAIN] or [MONITOR].

11. [D-CONTOUR] switch
    Selects one of the D-CONTOUR (Dynamic CONTOUR) presets.
    [FOH/MAIN]: Boosts the high and low frequency components so that the frequency response is suitable for a main speaker.
    [MONITOR]: Reduces the low frequency range, which could otherwise tend to be boomy if the speaker is set directly on the floor. This enables you to hear mid and high frequency ranges clearly when using as a floor monitor.
    [OFF]: Turns off D-CONTOUR. This is a generic frequency response setting.

12. [HPF] switch
    Selects the cutoff frequency of the high pass filter. If you set this switch to [120Hz] or [100Hz], the low frequency components below each threshold will be cut. If you use the unit alone, set this switch to [OFF]. If you plan to use the unit along with a subwoofer, we recommend that you set this switch to [120Hz] or [100Hz].

13. Vent
    The unit contains a cooling fan. Since the air for cooling is taken in and expelled here, be careful not to block this vent.

14. [AC IN] socket
    Connect the supplied power cord here. First connect the power cord to the unit, then plug it into an appropriate AC power outlet.
    CAUTION
    Turn off the power before you connect or disconnect the power cord.

15. [ ] (power) switch
    Turns power to the unit on [ I ] or off [ ]. First, turn on the power of the connected sound source (external device), then the unit. When turning off the power, reverse the order by turning off the power of the unit first and then the connected sound source (external device).
    CAUTION
    Even when the switch is in the off position, a small amount of electricity is still flowing to the unit. If it will not be used for an extended period of time, therefore, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
    Note

    • Rapidly turning the unit on and off in succession can cause it to malfunction. After turning the unit off, wait for about 5 seconds before turning it on again.
    • If you are using multiple units, turn on the power to each unit one by one. If you turn on the power to multiple units simultaneously, a temporary drop in the power voltage may occur, possibly resulting in abnormal operation of the units.

16. Screw holes (M8)
    Use these M8 size screw holes for installing separately sold brackets or commercially available eye bolts.

17. Pole socket
    This socket adapts to commercially available speaker stands and speaker poles of 35 mm diameter.

Setup Examples

Simple system with a single DBR

This example illustrates the system when connecting directly to a microphone, musical instrument, or background music source without using a mixer. Main application: small-sized live venue, presentations, restaurants

Note For CH2, inputs to the combo jack and to the RCA pin jacks will be mono mixed at a fixed balance. If you want to change the balance, adjust the volume of the connected sound source.

System with two DBRs and subwoofers

This system is the most suitable for a main speaker system. If desired, you can add another DBR to create a floor monitor system.

Main application: small-sized live venue, house of worship, event site

Note We recommend to use Yamaha DXS series (referred to in this manual as DXS) as a subwoofer. In this case, we recommend that the DBR’s HPF cutoff frequency and the DXS’s LPF cutoff frequency are set to the same settings; however, you can adjust it as desired.

Floor monitor system

This system is suitable for a performer’s monitoring system. For use as a vocal monitor, set the [D-CONTOUR] switch to [MONITOR]. If necessary, you can additionally connect up to four speakers in parallel. In this case we recommend that the signal is input to CH1 and the output switch is set to [CH1 THRU].

Troubleshooting

the power cord all the way in so that it is firmly in place.
Power suddenly went off.| The protection system has been activated, shutting down the power supply.| Turn off the power, wait until the amplifier cools down, and then turn on again.
No Sound.| The cable is not connected properly.| Connect the cable all the way in so that it is firmly in place.
Sound is interrupted suddenly.| The protection circuit has been activated, muting the output.| Wait until the amplifier cools down. If the unit won’t automatically reset itself, turn off the power, and then on again.
Sound howls (feedback).| A microphone is directed toward the speaker.| Aim the speaker away from the area where the microphone picks up sound.
Sound is amplified too much.| Lower the volume of input device and locate the microphone more closely to the sound source.
Each speaker sound differs (if multiple speakers are used).| Settings for each speaker differ.| Set the [HPF] switch and [D-CONTOUR] switch of each speaker to the same positions.
Sound is distorted.| The [LIMIT] indicator is off.| Input volume is excessive.| When the [MIC/LINE] switch is set to [MIC], and even if you lower the volume fully the sound is still distorted, set the switch to the [LINE] position. If the sound is still distorted even if the switch has been set to [LINE], lower the volume of the connected input devices.
The [LIMIT] indicator is on.| Output volume is excessive.| Turn the [LEVEL] knob to lower the output level to a point so that the [LIMIT] indicator lights only occasionally.
The microphone volume is too low.| The [MIC/LINE] switch is set to [LINE].| Set the [MIC/LINE] switch to the [MIC] position.
Low and high frequency are unbalanced.| The output limiter is active.| Lower the input level or the output level until the [LIMIT] indicator lights occasionally.

Installation Examples

CAUTION

• Before doing any installation or construction work, consult with your Yamaha dealer.
• For optimum safety, the installation should be checked thoroughly at regular intervals. Some fittings may deteriorate over extended periods of time due to wear and/or corrosion.
• When choosing the installation location, suspension wire and mounting hardware, make sure all are strong enough to support the weight of the speaker.
• Make sure to take measures to prevent the speaker from falling down in the event of a installation failure.
• When installing the safety wire to the wall, install it higher than the wire’s attachment point on the speaker, with as little slack as possible. If the wire is too long, and the speaker happens to fall, the wire may snap as a result of too much strain.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage or injury caused by insufficient strength of the support structure or improper installation.

Installation using separately sold Yamaha speaker brackets

Attach the bracket to two screw holes at the bottom of the unit using commercially available screws (M8 x 16 mm) or eye bolts (M8 x 15 mm). For details on installing the bracket, refer to the corresponding manual.

Using the BWS251-300 or BWS251-400 wall mounting bracket

The tilt angle depends on the position relation between the speaker and the wall. The maximum downward tilt angle is shown in the following chart.
