Yamaha DXS12 mk3 12-Inch 2500W Powered Subwoofer

The DXS12 mk3 is the most portable model in Yamaha's latest DXS series of powered subwoofers, engineered to deliver deep, clear, and powerful low-frequency performance from a compact enclosure. With a high-efficiency 2500W Class-D amplifier and a 12-inch high-durability woofer, it produces impressive bass output with a maximum SPL of 132 dB, making it ideal for mobile DJs, live sound, and small to mid-sized venues.

Designed with an optimized bandpass cabinet, the DXS12 mk3 minimizes unwanted resonance and cabinet noise while maximizing bass efficiency and impact. Built-in D-XSUB processing allows users to extend the low-frequency response down to 38 Hz, while flexible DSP crossover settings ensure seamless integration with full-range speakers such as the DXR mk3 series.

For advanced system control, the DXS12 mk3 includes a cardioid mode that reduces low-frequency buildup on stage, improving clarity and performance in live environments. Its durable plywood cabinet is acoustically optimized for superior sound quality, and practical features like dual pole sockets (M20 and 35 mm) and optional wheels and protective covers make it a versatile and reliable solution for both portable and installed audio systems.
