Yamaha DXS18 950W Powered 1x18" Bass Bin Subwoofer

The Yamaha DXS18 is a professional-grade powered subwoofer designed to deliver powerful, deep bass reinforcement for live sound applications. It features an 18-inch cone driver with a 4-inch voice coil, housed within a band-pass enclosure that optimises airflow and bass response. This subwoofer is engineered to complement Yamaha's DXR and DSR series PA speakers, providing the low-frequency foundation needed for concerts, club events, and other demanding audio environments. Key technical features include a high-efficiency Class-D amplifier delivering 800W continuous and 1020W dynamic power, capable of producing maximum sound pressure levels of 136dB. The frequency response extends down to 32Hz, ensuring reproduction of the deepest bass notes. The cabinet is constructed from durable plywood with a protective LINE-X® coating, making it resilient to the wear and tear of transport and frequent use. Connectivity is provided via two XLR input and two XLR thru connectors, allowing for flexible system integration and daisy-chaining of multiple units. The DXS18 includes Yamaha's D-XSUB processor with three operating modes: BOOST for enhanced low-end punch, XTD LF for extended low-frequency response, and NORMAL for balanced output. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of venues and musical styles. It is best suited for mobile DJs, live sound engineers, and musicians who require reliable, high-output bass reinforcement. Its natural convection cooling system ensures consistent performance during long sessions, making it a practical and robust choice for professional audio setups.
