Same family: the Yamaha DBR12 (larger powered model, rated 3.6/5), the Yamaha DBR15 (larger powered model, rated 2.9/5), the Yamaha CBR10 (smallest passive model, ranked lower, estimated 3.2/5), the Yamaha CBR12 (passive model, estimated 3.4/5) and the Yamaha CBR15 (largest passive model, estimated 2.7/5).
Pros: Yamaha’s most portable 10-inch powered speaker carries the same DSP and amplification platform as the DXR and DZR series, with a built-in 2-channel mixer accepting XLR, 1/4-inch and RCA sources. Measured bass extension of 69Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Medium-quality vendor data shows a 4.75 ideal-subwoofer preference score, mid-pack for this ranking, so a subwoofer partner matters for full-range material.

Frequency Response
How the Yamaha DBR10 measures across the audible range. A flatter listening window (the sound arriving straight at you) is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. The estimated in-room response adds what a typical room does, and there a gentle, even tilt down toward the treble is ideal. Both curves are shifted so their 300 Hz to 3 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
