Description

Yamaha DXS18 mk3 18-Inch 2500W Powered Subwoofer

The DXS18 mk3 is the flagship model in Yamaha's latest DXS series, engineered to deliver the deepest and most powerful low-frequency performance in the lineup. Featuring an 18-inch high-durability woofer with a 4-inch voice coil and a high-efficiency 2500W Class-D amplifier, it produces exceptional bass output with a maximum SPL of 134 dB. This makes it the ideal choice for large-scale live sound, DJ performances, and venues that demand maximum low-end impact.

Its advanced bandpass cabinet design enhances bass efficiency while minimizing unwanted resonance and cabinet noise, resulting in tight, clean, and powerful low frequencies. Built-in D-XSUB processing allows the system to extend bass response down to an impressive 32 Hz, while flexible DSP crossover settings ensure seamless integration with full-range speakers such as the DXR mk3 series.

For optimized stage performance, the DXS18 mk3 includes a cardioid mode that reduces low-frequency buildup behind the subwoofer, improving clarity and control in live environments. Constructed from durable plywood for superior acoustic performance, it also features dual pole sockets (M20 and 35 mm) and optional accessories such as wheels and protective covers, making it a robust and versatile solution for both touring and installed audio systems.
