YAMAHA DXS18 Mk3 | 18-inch 2500w Powered Subwoofer

DXS18 Mk3

18" 2500W Active Subwoofer

From an immersive, frenzied set that puts a DJ on the map, to a killer live band showcase with career-defining implications—countless variables, and often pure luck, can factor in to pulling off a memorable, even life-altering performance. Some you can control, others you cannot, but the new DXSmk3 subwoofer takes luck out of the equation when it comes to your bass sound, offering significant improvements in performance, flexibility, and reliability from its renowned predecessor. From the functional, lightweight, yet highly durable cabinet design, to flexible, high-performance DSP features with crucial real-world applications, the DXSmk3 will reliably deliver your bass with serious power and startling precision, ensuring that you’ll never have to question if your bottom end performance can rise to the occasion when you need it most.

The DXS18 Mk3 is the 3rd-generation version of Yamaha's active subwoofer, bringing with it a wooden bandpass cabinet, a newly developed transducer, and a potent 2500W peak Class-D amp. With onboard DSP control via the intuitive color LCD screen, setup and fine-tuning are a snap. 

You can store up to eight user presets for the DSP controls, which include functions like Auto Preset, EQ, feedback suppression, and more. When your speaker is hard to reach, you can control and customize everything wirelessly via the D-Remote app. Wireless control also means wireless Bluetooth audio streaming, allowing you to easily play back audio to your loudspeaker from any Bluetooth-equipped smart device.
