Yamaha DXS15MKII

The Next Generation of Compact, High-Output Subwoofers: The Yamaha DXS15mkII

The Yamaha DXS15mkII is a professional active subwoofer that delivers tight, thunderous low frequencies down to 40Hz. Featuring an upgraded electronics section that provides more power and low-frequency extension, this updated model is even more formidable than its predecessor. It’s the perfect choice for mobile DJs, live bands, and installations that require a powerful and focused bass response in a compact package.

At the heart of the DXS15mkII is a high-efficiency 1020W Class-D amplifier and a custom-designed 15-inch woofer housed in a sturdy, acoustically optimized band-pass enclosure. This combination is capable of producing an impressive 135dB SPL, with the state-of-the-art DSP ensuring the high power output is focused, powerful, and distortion-free.

The powerful D-XSUB processing gives you total control over your low frequencies with NORMAL, BOOST, or XTENDED LF modes. For advanced setups, the selectable Cardioid Mode effectively decreases stage-side sound pressure while increasing the low-end output directed towards the audience, resulting in a cleaner stage monitoring environment and a more pronounced bass experience for the crowd.
