Maximum SPL, Earth-Shattering Bass: The Yamaha DXS18
The Yamaha DXS18 is a professional, high-output active subwoofer designed to deliver a thunderous and well-defined low-frequency performance that you can feel. This band-pass type subwoofer is the perfect companion for Yamaha's DXR and DBR full-range loudspeakers, providing an extended and powerful low-end ideal for professional DJs, live bands, and fixed installations in large clubs and event venues where maximum bass is required.
At the heart of the DXS18 is a high-power 1020W Class-D amplifier module and a custom-designed 18-inch woofer with a 2.5-inch voice coil, capable of producing a class-leading 135 dB SPL and a deep bass response down to 32Hz. The sophisticated D-XSUB processing gives you total control over your low frequencies with NORMAL, BOOST, or XTENDED LF modes.
Built for the rigors of professional use, the DXS18 is housed in a durable and acoustically optimized plywood cabinet with a premium LINE-X® finish. Its comprehensive DSP protection features ensure that all components perform at their peak, night after night. For those who demand a powerful, articulate, and chest-thumping low-end, the DXS18 is the ultimate choice.
