Older model: the Yamaha DXR10mkII (ranked lower, rated 3.8/5). See every Yamaha DXR and CXR generation.
Same family: the Yamaha DXR12mkIII (larger powered model, rated 4.1/5), the Yamaha DXR15mkIII (larger powered model, rated 3.8/5), the Yamaha CXR10mkIII (smallest passive model, ranked lower, estimated 3.5/5), the Yamaha CXR12mkIII (passive model, estimated 3.8/5) and the Yamaha CXR15mkIII (largest passive model, estimated 3.5/5).
Pros: A light, loud 10 inch powered PA speaker with updated onboard DSP and Bluetooth control, a dependable choice for gigs. The third-generation DXR10 raises claimed output to 132dB with refined porting and Yamaha’s newest onboard DSP, while staying light at 14.5kg with a familiar 90° x 60° pattern. Measured bass extension of 61.5Hz (-3dB).
Cons: The low-quality local data is truncated and cannot produce a preference score, so its tonal advantage over the proven Yamaha DXR10mkII is unconfirmed.

Frequency Response
How the Yamaha DXR10mkIII 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.
Measurement data: spinorama.org, measured by the manufacturer.
EQ for a Neutral Response
Flattens the measured listening window from the Yamaha DXR10mkIII's own bass extension up to 16 kHz. Set a preamp of -1.2 dB, then add these filters to any parametric equalizer in the signal path: the speaker's app or DSP if it has parametric EQ, a miniDSP, Equalizer APO or Wavelet. Boosts are kept to 3 dB, and EQ cannot fix how evenly the speaker spreads sound off-axis, which is why some speakers gain more than others. Calculated by Speaker Ranking from the spinorama measurements above.
| Filter | Frequency | Gain | Q |
|---|---|---|---|
| High shelf | 8,000 Hz | +0.5 dB | 0.70 |
| Peak | 96 Hz | -9.9 dB | 1.65 |
| Peak | 251 Hz | +1.9 dB | 4.00 |
