Yamaha DXS18 mk3 Powered Subwoofer
The Yamaha DXS18 mk3 powered subwoofer brings deep, clear low-end authority to professional sound systems. Its high-output 18″ driver, 2500 W Class-D amplifier and band-pass cabinet work together for powerful bass. Meanwhile, onboard processing gives you practical control over how the sub integrates with the rest of the system.
Powerful Low-End Output
Firstly, an 18″ cone with a 4″ voice coil forms the heart of this powered subwoofer, backed by a newly developed 2500 W Class-D amplifier. The band-pass cabinet design is acoustically optimized to deliver strong bass response while eliminating unwanted cabinet noise, making the low end feel focused and substantial.
Shape the Bass to Suit the System
Built-in D-XSUB processing offers NORMAL and XTENDED LF modes, with a frequency range reaching down to 32 Hz. Flexible DSP X-OVER settings let you set the high-pass filter to suit the connected loudspeakers, while OUTPUT 1 & 2 can operate as XLR3-32 THRU or DSP OUT.
Practical Control for Live Setups
Cardioid mode gives stage systems a dedicated way to manage bass coverage. Bluetooth Version 5.0 with A2DP and D-Remote remote control via an iOS or Android app add convenient control options, while the analog inputs accept balanced or unbalanced connections for straightforward system setup.
Built for Professional Deployment
The plywood cabinet uses durable black Polyurea Painting and includes two side handles for handling. M20 and Ø35 mm pole sockets support compatible pole-mounted setups, and the optional SPW-1 Speaker Wheels and SPCVR-DXS183 Speaker Cover provide additional transport and protection options.
