Yamaha DXS15mkII Active Subwoofer

Product Description

The Yamaha DXS15mkII is capable of producing tight, thunderous low frequencies as low as 40 Hz at a maximum SPL of 135 dB. This updated model's optimized band-pass design and state-of-the-art DSP ensure the extremely high power output is focused, powerful, and distortion-free. A custom made, long throw 15” driver and 1020 W of Class D power allow high output all night long!

DXS Series were made for audio engineers and bass fanatics who demand consistent high-quality sound for their live performances or DJ events — even when it's cranked to the maximum SPL.

The DXS’s high-performance Class D amplifier is capable of producing up to 1020 W of power, and a maximum SPL of 136 dB, delivered with exceptional clarity and accuracy. The DXS15mkII can produce 3 dB more SPL than previous models. It also features a 2.5" voice coil magnets.

All DXS Series enclosures incorporate a band-pass design to reduce unwanted vibrations and noise that could otherwise sabotage your sound. Yamaha have also designed a very durable plywood enclosure which, when combined with the band-pass configuration, tested better than the traditional bass-reflex design and reduced distortion considerably, making it possible to achieve a higher SPL.

Enclosure exteriors feature a durable Polyurea coating with extremely high damage resistance to protect the cabinet from scratches, bumps, or severe weather conditions, maintaining a professional appearance for years to come.

Just as impressive as the high output at their disposal is the compact portability and lightweight construction that houses the DXS Series' awesome power. The DXSmkII models in particular have shed 2 kg and 3 kg compared to their 15” and 12” predecessors respectively, making it easier than ever to load up, set up, or tear down your PA.

The functional speaker covers that protect your speakers from unfavorable weather conditions during operation in outdoor performances, and in dusty and dirty warehouse storage, or the rigors of equipment transport on the road. Trilaminar polyester fabric with an inner cushion protect from impacts. Slits allow easy access to the handles for carriage.

For additional flexibility configuring your speakers, the DXS series comes equipped with a dual pole socket that accommodates both 35 mm diameter speaker poles and M20 screws.

Because low frequencies can be omnidirectional, controlling the output directivity of a system’s bottom end can be a challenge, with the sound pressure hitting the stage often being equal to that of its intended FOH audience. For setups consisting of two or more DXS subwoofers, selecting the newly developed Cardioid Mode effectively decreases stage-side sound pressure while increasing the bottom-end output directed towards the audience, resulting in a cleaner stage monitoring environment and a more pronounced bass experience for the audience.

Powerful D-XSUB processing gives you total control of your low frequency. NORMAL mode gives you the ideally balanced low-frequency response, while BOOST mode provides a tighter and more focused bass. XTENDED LF mode drops the low-end frequencies down even further for thunderous bottom end that delivers a low frequency extension unheard of from smaller cabinets. Take your full-range system to the next level with the power and versatility of DXS Series active subwoofers.

Crossover switching allows users to seamlessly match DXS subwoofers with any of Yamaha’s full-range powered speakers by selecting the cutoff frequency best suited to the models in their speaker array (up to 120 Hz).
