Questions and Answers

  • R
    Rachael WigginsAug 8, 2025
    Why is the sound distorted on my Yamaha DBR12?
    • D
      Dustin PopeAug 8, 2025
      Sound distortion in your Yamaha Speaker System can occur if the input volume is too high. If the [MIC/LINE] switch is set to [MIC], try setting it to the [LINE] position, even if you lower the volume fully and the sound is still distorted. Additionally, if the [LIMIT] indicator is on, turn the [LEVEL] knob to lower the output level until the [LIMIT] indicator only lights occasionally.

    How to stop Yamaha DBR12 Speaker System from howling (feedback)?
    • J
      jill36Aug 23, 2025
      If your Yamaha Speaker System is producing a howling sound (feedback), it could be because a microphone is directed toward the speaker, or the sound is amplified too much. Try aiming the speaker away from the area where the microphone picks up sound. Also, lower the volume of input device and locate the microphone more closely to the sound source.

    What to do if sound is interrupted suddenly on my Yamaha DBR12 Speaker System?
    • S
      Steven SinghAug 30, 2025
      If the sound from your Yamaha Speaker System is suddenly interrupted, the protection circuit may have activated, muting the output. Allow the amplifier to cool down. If the unit doesn’t automatically reset, turn the power off, and then on again.
