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" voice-coil magnet and 18" 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 toward the audience. The result is a clearer onstage monitoring environment and a more pronounced bass experience out front.

    I purchased a single DXS18 and two DBR12's for home use because I like LOUD music. I recently supplied music for an event, even though I'm not a DJ, this was my first time hearing this setup outside, I cranked it up a bit and it literally sounded like a rock concert, you could feel the hard-hitting base from 50' away, I was blown away. The base is crisp, clear, tight, and hard hitting with all types of music. I can't help but notice sound systems at local events, and that I'm consistently disappointed at the quality of sound compared to that of my own.
