High-power, Class D amplifier

The Yamaha DXS18 employs an 800-watt (1020-watt peak power capacity) Class D amplifier to serve up rich, solid bass reinforcement. The ample wattage doesn’t just let the DXS18 get loud, it gives it the headroom needed to reproduce the dynamics and nuances in your music. And thanks to the ultra-lightweight Class D amplifier, the DXS18’s big sound is still convenient to transport.

Stellar sound quality

Yamaha used a lot of innovative technology to get the maximum sonic quality out of the DXS18 powered subwoofer. For example, Yamaha’s D-XSUB technology lets you extend the frequency response of the DXS18 for when you really need maximum bass impact, incredibly useful in larger rooms. Also, the acoustically optimized wooden enclosure is designed to resist distortion at high output levels, greatly enhancing sound quality even at extreme levels. The DXS18 also has a cardioid mode that effectively decreases stage-side sound pressure while increasing the low-end output directed toward your audience.

Easy to integrate

It’s easy to add the DXS18 powered subwoofer to your DRX loudspeaker system, or any other powered system for that matter. Dual XLR inputs let you connect to your mixer, crossover system, or main speaker throughputs, and parallel XLR outputs make it easy to add additional DXS subwoofers for even more ground-shaking bass reinforcement.
