$1,599.99
Yamaha DXS18 MK3 is a band-pass powered subwoofer designed to deliver deep, controlled low-frequency reinforcement for professional sound systems. As the largest model in the DXS mk3 series, it combines high output, extended low-end performance, advanced DSP processing, and a durable plywood enclosure for demanding live sound, DJ, and installed audio applications.
The Yamaha DXS18 MK3 is built for users who need maximum low-frequency extension and output from a single powered subwoofer. Its 18-inch long-excursion woofer with a 4-inch voice coil is paired with an optimized band-pass enclosure that helps reduce unwanted port and cabinet noise while delivering strong, clear, and impactful bass. This makes it a strong choice for mobile DJs, live bands, event production, houses of worship, and venues that demand substantial low-end performance.
Powered by a newly developed 2500W Class-D amplifier, the DXS18 MK3 produces up to 134 dB SPL and reaches down to 32 Hz in XTENDED LF mode. Yamaha’s D-XSUB processing gives users practical control over bass response, with NORMAL mode providing balanced low-end performance and XTENDED LF mode extending the subwoofer’s range for applications that benefit from deeper bass reproduction.
The enclosure is constructed from durable plywood and finished with a rugged polyurea coating for long-term reliability during transport, setup, and daily use. Its acoustically optimized cabinet design, large ports, and grille structure help minimize airflow noise while maintaining powerful bass output. Dual side handles, optional SPW-1 wheels, and the optional SPCVR-DXS183 cover help make transport and protection more manageable for production and touring use.
For greater system flexibility, the subwoofer includes adjustable crossover settings, cardioid mode for improved bass management on stage, and Bluetooth support for Yamaha’s D-Remote app. When paired with DXR mk3 series full-range loudspeakers, the Yamaha DXS18 MK3 helps create a cohesive, high-impact sound system with powerful and controlled low-frequency performance.
