Yamaha DXS18XLF-D 1600W 18″ Powered Sub with Dante

Perfectly suited for use with DZR full-range speakers, the Yamaha DXS18XLF-D is a powered bass-reflex type subwoofer. DXS18XLF-D has an extended low frequency, producing a best-in-class maximum SPL of 136dB SPL with superb clarity and power.

Powerful DSP for Flexible Control

Like the full-range DZR models, the DXS XLF subwoofers are also driven by 96kHz high-power DSP processors. Additionally, the DXS18XLF-D utilizes dynamic EQ.

Onboard D-XSUB LF processing gives you total management of your lower frequencies. NORMAL mode is set for an ideally balanced low-frequency response. BOOST mode provides a tighter and more focused bass with some extra punch. XTENDED LF mode drops the low-end frequencies down even further for a thunderous bottom end. DXS18XLF-D delivers a low-frequency extension unheard of from a cabinet of its size.

Usually, the higher the output, the more difficult it is to manage low-frequency energy directivity. Significant stage-side sound pressure levels can seriously sabotage your monitoring. However, with DXS XLF setups consisting of two or more subwoofers, selecting the Cardioid Mode decreases sound pressure on stage. Even so, cardioid mode increases the bottom-end output directed towards the audience, resulting in a much cleaner stage monitoring environment.

Dante-Equipped for Sophisticated Capability with Simple Connectivity

DXS18XLF-D model comes Dante-equipped, enabling smart system integration. Also, it features SRC (sample rate conversion) allowing 48kHz device compatibility. Patching is simplified considerably with Yamaha CL/QL digital mixing consoles from the I/O device display. Alternatively, TF console users can select Quick Config for surprisingly fast, easy set-up and operation.

Combining the Analog I/O with Dante I/O, opens up countless routing and system configuration options, while the Dante break-IN and break-OUT function can add even more flexibility by acting as a simple I/O box. What’s more, Yamaha’s customizable control panel software “ProVisionare Control” for windows and “ProVisionare Touch” for iPad are also Dante compatible, adding more simple remote management of your sound reinforcement system.

Acoustics and Utility

DXS18XLF-D proprietary transducers with durable die-cast aluminium frame and 4” voice coil are crucial to achieving such impressive low-frequency response, even at the highest output levels. A dual damper also helps to realize extraordinarily high linearity of the low frequencies. It does so by mitigating unwanted vibration during extreme output levels.

Durable, Portable, and Road-Ready

Yamaha DXS18XLF-D enclosure exterior features a durable Polyurea coating with extremely high damage resistance to protect the cabinet from scratches, bumps, or severe weather conditions, maintaining a professional appearance for years to come. Additionally, the new, easy-to-grip aluminium handle, optional SPW1 wheel kit, and SPCVR speaker covers provide additional safety, portability, and peace of mind when you’re on the road.
