Yamaha DXS15XLF 15'' Active PA Subwoofer

Full Description

D-XSUB Bass Processing For Low-End Management

The Yamaha DXS15XLF features powerful D-XSUB processing that gives you the flexibility to control the low frequencies, and total control over your bass. The subwoofer features different modes that change the frequency response and characteristics. The NORMAL mode gives you a well-balanced low-end frequency response, while BOOST will focus more on bass and provide a tighter low-end. The new XTENDED LF mode allows you to add even more thunderous bottom-end by dropping the low-end frequencies even further, a function unheard of from smaller cabinets. With this control over your sound, the DXS15XLF ensures your performances go exactly as planned.

Cardioid Mode & Crossover Switching

The newly developed cardioid mode allows you to direct your bass towards your audience. This special function decreases stage-side sound pressure while increasing the bottom-end output directed towards the audience. This provides a cleaner stage monitoring environment whilst giving the audience that much needed bass experience. Usually controlling the output direction of a system's low-end is difficult as the low frequencies can be omnidirectional. However, the Yamaha DXS15XLF has managed to make sure your audience feel those bass frequencies. The cardioid mode is ideal for setups consisting of 2 or more DXS subwoofers. The DXS15XLF subwoofer also features crossover switching which allows you to match DXS subwoofers with any of Yamaha's full range powered speakers. Simply select the cutoff frequency that is best suited to the models.

Powerful & Clean Low-End

The Yamaha DXS15XLF Subwoofer features high-efficiency 1020W class D amplifiers that are capable of producing a maximum SPL of 136dB, all with exceptional clarity and accuracy. The custom designed transducer delivers a well-defined and powerful low-end. Another feature that keeps your bass sounding super clean is the band-pass enclosure which reduces unwanted vibrations and noise. The durable plywood enclosure combined with the band-pass enclosure allows the subwoofer to achieve a higher SPL. It is acoustically optimised for maximum sound quality.

Compact, Portable & Rugged Design

The DXS15XLF manages to squeeze the features of the DXS18XLF into a more compact, lightweight and portable package, making it ideal for the mobile DJ, musician and sound engineer. The rugged enclosure is coated in durable Polyurea with extremely high damage resistance that protects the cabinets from damage such as scratches, bumps or severe weather conditions, providing extended reliability and durability. Additionally, the DXS15XLF also features side handles for easy transportation. For added flexibility, the DXS15XLF features a dual pole socket that accommodates 35mm diameter speaker poles and M20 screws.
