Powered Speakers DZR/DXS-XLF Series

22.1. Overview

The DZR/DXS-XLF series is Yamaha’s flagship powered speaker, which delivers best-in-class sound pressure levels and sound quality through high-power amplifiers and 96 kHz signal processing. Only Dante models are supported.

22.2. Project Sheet

This is the sheet on which devices are placed. When placing devices, the Settings screen shown below is displayed.

Number of Devices
Select the number of devices to be placed on the sheet.
Unit ID Starting From
The starting number for the device Unit IDs can be selected.
Device Name
The device name can be displayed and edited.

22.2.1. Properties Area

This area allows you to display and edit device information. The following section explains "Input Source Redundancy". For other settings, refer to the DZR/DXS-XLF Series reference manual.

Input Source Redundancy
If the audio on the primary line (Dante) is cut off due to a problem such as an input device failure, the line will automatically switch to the backup line (Analog). When the input audio returns, the original line is automatically restored.

Input Source Redundancy is a function that is independent from the Dante network redundancy function.

Dante INs (1 to 2) are used as the primary lines, and Analog Ins (1 to 2) are used as the backup lines.
The channel combinations are fixed.

PRIMARY SOURCE	BACKUP SOURCE
Dante IN 1	Analog In 1
Dante IN 2	Analog In 2

PRIMARY SOURCE

BACKUP SOURCE

Dante IN 1

Analog In 1

Dante IN 2

Analog In 2

Auto Return
When this option is turned on, the input line will automatically switch back to the primary line when the primary line is restored.
When this option is off, you can manually switch back the line by executing MANUAL RETURN on the main unit or by pressing the [Return] button in ProVisionaire Design.
Dante Backup Source
Select a Backup Source (Analog 1, 2) to enable the Input Source Redundancy function. The channel combinations are fixed.

22.3. Tuning Sheet

The Tuning sheet allows you to set parameters (such as EQ and Delay) for grouped channels collectively. For details about the sheet, refer to Tuning Sheet .

The maximum number of units that can be registered per group is 32 for the DZR series and 16 for the DXS-XLF series.

22.3.1. Link Group Editor

This is the parameter setting screen for link groups. To display the editor, display the Tuning sheet and double-click the link group to which the DZR series channels are registered, or right-click the group and select [Open Link Group Editor].

[SOLO] button
This button is enabled by turning on the [Solo Mode] button on the toolbar when in the online state.
When this button is turned on, audio will be output only from the channels registered in this link group, which is useful for final adjustments to EQ, volume, and Delay.
When audio is muted by using the SOLO function, [MUTE] of the Speaker Out component is turned on.

22.3.2. [EQ/Level] Tab

This tab allows you to change the EQ, HPF, and LPF of the devices registered in a group at once to the same values.
It also allows you to change the Main Level of the devices registered in the group at once by a relative value.

[Band Sharing] button
If a certain device is registered in multiple groups, click these buttons to select the band occupied by each group. Occupied bands are shown in blue. Bands whose numbers are not white are occupied by other groups and cannot be selected or operated. Releasing an occupation is possible only in the link group editor that occupies the band.
[MATCH VAL] button
This button copies the EQ settings of the occupied bands in the link group editor to the registered devices.
Main Level
This is the actual Main Level value of the selected device.
LINK MAIN
Adjust the Level of the devices in a link group by a relative value. The movable range is displayed as a vertical gray line. Right-click a fader and select [Match Values] to set the Level of the members of a link group to the same value.

22.3.3. [Delay] Tab

This tab allows you to change the Delay of the devices registered in a group at once by a relative value.

DELAY
This is the actual Delay value of the selected device.
LINK MAIN
Adjust the Delay of the devices in a link group by a relative value. The movable range is displayed as a vertical gray line. Right-click a fader and select [Match Values] to set the Delay of the members of a link group to the same value.

For an explanation of the other buttons, refer to Tuning Sheet of the PC series.

22.8.1. Input Component Editor

You can use the faders to adjust the Dante input levels.

Backup Status
Lights up when the line has switched from the primary line (Dante) to the backup line (Analog).
Return Availability
Lights up when the primary line has been restored and the input line can be switched back to the primary line.
(Only when Auto Return = Off)
[Return] button
When the primary line is restored, press this button to manually switch the input line back to the primary line.
(Only when Auto Return = Off)

When Auto Return is turned on, the line will be automatically restored.
The Auto Return setting can be changed in the Properties area of the Project sheet.

22.8.2. Dante Sens./Delay Alignment Component Editor

Dante Sensitivity
This component sets the input sensitivity of the digital signal from Dante when the signal is input to the amplifier section.
The input sensitivity value that you set becomes the clipping level of the speaker.
Select from -14dBFS (default) or -6dBFS. For fine adjustments, use the Input component D1 or D2.

If you are using an analog line as a backup for the Dante line, set the sensitivity to "-14dBFS". The volume will match when the line is switched.
Setting the sensitivity to "-14dBFS" will increase the input from Dante by 8dB, so if you are only using a Dante line, set it to "-6dBFS". Setting the sensitivity to "-6dBFS" will match the output level of the digital mixer with the input level of the DZR.

Delay Alignment
Corrects the time difference between analog input and Dante input.
If you are using an analog line as a backup for the Dante line, set this option to "ON". When you set this option to "ON", the timing of the analog input will match the Dante input audio when the line is switched.

The appropriate delay value will vary depending on the Dante settings and the combination of connected devices.
For more information, refer to the DZR/DXS XLF Series reference manual.

The delay set here is applied to the analog input. Therefore, if you use a device with only an analog line, set this option to "OFF".

22.8.3. Speaker Out Component Editor

■ DZR series

D-CONTOUR
Set the frequency characteristic best suited for the purpose of use.
- OFF (NORMAL)
  Turns off D-CONTOUR. This is a general-purpose frequency characteristic setting.
- FOH/MAIN
  This setting boosts the treble and bass ranges to create frequency characteristics suitable for the main speakers. The amount of boost is automatically adjusted according to the volume to achieve a well-balanced sound.
- MONITOR
  This setting ensures clarity, which is important for floor monitors, and suppresses the bass range that tends to become boomy when a speaker is placed on the floor. The latency is reduced and the phase characteristics change.

■ DXS-XLF series

D-XSUB
Set the frequency characteristic best suited for the purpose of use and music genre.
- OFF (NORMAL)
  Turns off D-XSUB. This is a general-purpose frequency characteristic setting.
- BOOST
  This setting boosts the frequency range to emphasize a punchy feel.
- EXTenDed LF (extended LF)
  This setting extends the playback frequency to lower bass ranges.

CARDIOID
This component sets the cardioid mode. Change the setting according to the orientation and number of speakers.
- OMNI(FRONT)
  When cardioid mode is not used
- CARDIO-2(REAR)
  Rear-facing speaker, when two speakers are used side by side

CARDIO-3(REAR)
Center, rear-facing speaker, when three speakers are used side by side
