Selection And Settings Of Processors And Amplifiers; Basic Setting Example - Yamaha CZR15 Owner's Manual

Selection and Settings of Processors and Amplifiers

In order to take full advantage of the CZR performance, make sure to adjust the crossover and equalizer (EQ) using
a processor/DSP built-in amplifier.
When selecting an amplifier, the amplifier should have a similar program (PGM) wattage rating to the speaker. For
example, since the PGM rating of the CZR12 is 800W, an amplifier of 640W to 1000W (0.8 to 1.25 times that of
800W) should be selected. However, when a speaker can be protected properly by a limiter, amplifiers with more
power can be used together.
Visit the CZR product page of the Yamaha Pro Audio global website for details on the recommended models of pro-
cessors and amplifiers, and EQ settings.

Basic Setting Example


This system is connected by two independent cables from a 2-channel amplifier to a CZR and a
subwoofer.
2-channel amplifier

This system is connected by a single cable from the outputs of a 2-channel amplifier, using the
output jack on the CXS series.
The output jack of the CXS series (subwoofers) receives the signals via 2+/2– of the [INPUT/PARALELL] jack and routes
them to 1+/1– for output. Using the output jack of the CXS along with a 4-pole speakON cable, you can connect an amplifier
to the CXS with a single cable. For details, please refer to the relevant CXS series manual.
