Yamaha DXL1K 1100W Portable PA System with Dolly
Despite its lightweight and compact cabinet construction, the Yamaha DXL1K features a high-output 1100 W amplifier. In fact, the DXL1K has 10 x 1.5-inch drivers and a large 12-inch subwoofer. They produce best-in-class sound pressure levels of up to 125 dB SPL. Above all, it delivers clear, high-quality sound consistently throughout a wide area.
J-Curve Slim Line Array
DXL1K’s high-frequency speaker array is comprised of 10 small-diameter 1.5-inch speakers. By adopting a J-curve array configuration, the high-frequency unit achieves vertical coverage of 30° across a span of 170 °. With such a long, 10-driver array design the DXL1K can deliver clear, high-quality sounds consistently over longer distances. It projects uniform, high-quality sound from the front to the rear of the audience.
Class-Leading 12-Inch “Compact” Subwoofer
Furthermore, the subwoofer features a 12-inch speaker unit which is hardly “compact”. The DXL1K boasts the smallest cabinet for a subwoofer of this size and power. By incorporating Yamaha’s own Twisted Flare Port™ technology the low-end output is maximized. Therefore, it produces very deep, powerful, distortion-free bass.
DXL1K’s 1100W Amplifier
Also, at the top of its class for output power, the 1100W Class-D amplifier module is capable of delivering an impressive 125 dB SPL from the deceptively compact speaker cabinet. Importantly, Yamaha has leveraged decades-long experience to ensure that with great power comes great stability and that the DXL1K maintains the same accurate, superior-quality sound even at high output.
High-Grade Polyurea Coating
The lightweight ABS cabinet of the subwoofer features a high-grade polyurea coating to prevent wear and tear during transport. It is light enough to make the system extremely portable, but also rugged and scratch-resistant enough to withstand harsh performance environments.
Superior Utility and Portability
The DXL1K is lightweight enough to easily carry. Also, it’s simple enough to set up in about one minute, and durable enough to withstand harsh environments.
DXL1K’s Simple Setup
To set it up, simply affix the 2 spacers and speaker unit to the subwoofer. After that, you are essentially done, with no cables, speaker stand, or additional gear required beyond the main unit. All you need is in the package.
Expandable STAGEPAS Systems
Linking a DXL1K and STAGEPAS 1K mkII provides a greater coverage area and increased output power for large-scale performances. Both stereo and mono playback are supported, and when the STAGEPAS 1K mkII is set to mono, the inputs of the DXL1K and STAGEPAS 1K mkII can still be used (up to five mono inputs plus one stereo input).
Fitted Cover Included
The DXL1K comes with its own cover which, in addition to protecting the unit, has pouches for both spacers and speaker array as well as additional storage for accessories to further streamline system setup and teardown.
Included Dolly
An optional dedicated dolly allows for more convenient transportation — particularly useful for performers transporting additional gear and instruments. Featuring a simple, sturdy mechanism that locks down the speaker covers the lightweight dolly enables smooth, reliable transportation.
In Summary, DXL1K Highlights:
- Lightweight and compact cabinet construction
- High-output 1100 W amplifier.
- 10 x 1.5-Inch drivers and a large 12-inch subwoofer.
