Passive Loudspeaker You Can Count On

Expect rich, clear sound and reliable performance from the Yamaha CBR15 passive loudspeaker. With a respectable 500-watts of RMS power handling, and 96dB SPL sensitivity, these loudspeakers boast impressive performance for their compact, portable nature. Live sound engineers at Sweetwater especially appreciate the CBR15's HF-protection circuit, which prevents speaker damage from excessive input. We also dig the smart form factor, which lets you use the CBR15 as either a mains speaker or on its side as a floor monitor. However you use it, expect stellar sound and performance you can trust with the Yamaha CBR15 passive loudspeaker.

Yamaha CBR15 15" Passive Loudspeaker at a Glance:
  • Ideal for small- to mid-size venues
  • Great sound at any volume level
  • Use as a main speaker or as a floor monitor
Ideal for small- to mid-size venues

With 500-watts of RMS power handling and lightweight components, the Yamaha CBR15 is perfect for small- to mid-size venues. Whether you're in a band, a gigging DJ, or run a sound-for-hire rig, the CBR15 will serve you well in a variety of applications.

Great sound at any volume level

The Yamaha CBR15 puts out full, punchy sound at any volume level thanks to two specific components. An extremely sensitive LF driver puts out powerful bass even when you're not driving the speaker hard. And when you do want to push your system to the max, an HF-protection circuit prevents excessive input signals from damaging the tweeter, so you get clear sound throughout the entire volume range.

Use as a main speaker or as a floor monitor

Yamaha designed the CBR15's cabinet with a 50-degree wedge angle. This allows you to place the speaker on its side and angle it up for use as a stage monitor. Especially if you're equipping your school or church with PA gear, you'll appreciate the dual-function versatility of the Yamaha CBR15.

Yamaha CBR15 15" Passive Loudspeaker Features:
  • Passive loudspeaker with lightweight plastic cabinet
  • Impressive 500W RMS power handling
  • 1/4" and speakON inputs for flexible connectivity
  • HF-protection circuit prevents tweeter damage due to excessive signal levels
  • Highly-sensitive LF driver puts out full bass even at lower volumes
You'll enjoy your sound system with the Yamaha CBR15 passive loudspeaker!

Great speaker!

Using for stage monitor. Could also be used for small gigs.
Rated 5/5

Great, lightweight speaker.

We needed some passive speakers to hang in our church, and these are awesome. They are lightweight at only 40lbs, and they we're a breeze to hang. They sound awesome, with more than enough power handling capabilities, and they're very clear. I continue to be impressed with the quality of Yamaha stuff.

Nice!!!

This worked out well for me. I play keyboards so I need full range speakers with enough bottom, crispness & clarity. It's also easy on my back. I will be buying another one soon. I like the sound of the Roland keyboard amps but they are just too heavy for me to get into my car after a gig.
