Yamaha DXS18 18" Powered Subwoofer

Delivering massive low-end reinforcement down to an astounding 32Hz, the DXS18 band-pass style subwoofer is sure to make a lasting impression on your audience. A potent Class-D amplifier drives the huge 4 in. voice coil magnet and 18 in. woofer for tight, accurate bass with exceptional clarity and up to 136dB SPL. The rugged wooden enclosure features LINE-X coating for protection against scratches and wear, ensuring it will withstand years of use while maintaining its professional appearance.

Crossover switching allows you to seamlessly match the DXS18 with any of Yamaha’s full-range powered speakers by selecting the cutoff frequency best suited to the models in their speaker array. Yamaha’s state-of-the-art DSP processing and protection functions mean the DXS18 performs at its peak under the most demanding conditions.

A unique feature of the DXS18 its cardioid mode setting for PA setups with two or more subwoofers. Selecting cardioid mode function effectively decreases stage-side sound pressure while increasing the bottom-end output directed towards the audience. The result is a clearer onstage monitoring environment and a more pronounced bass experience out front.
