Yamaha DXS18 MkIII

DXS mk3 Series - Professional Low-End for Flexible PA Systems!

The Yamaha DXS mk3 Series was developed for professional sound reinforcement systems that demand powerful bass reproduction, reliable performance and precise system control. The active subwoofers in this series combine efficient Class-D amplifier technology, rugged bandpass enclosures, powerful low-frequency drivers and modern DSP features into a punchy low-end system for live sound, DJ setups, clubs, events, rental and fixed installations.

Acoustically Optimized Subwoofer Concept

The DXS mk3 Series relies on a professionally tuned bandpass design that pairs high sound pressure with controlled bass imaging. The enclosure construction supports strong low-frequency output with clear definition and high efficiency. The result is full, defined bass that convinces in modern music production and live applications alike.

Efficient Class-D Amplifier Technology

All models in the series use integrated Class-D amplification that delivers high output with efficient operation. The amplifier section is precisely matched to the driver, enclosure and DSP, ensuring stable performance even under demanding conditions. This gives you an active subwoofer system that can be integrated into professional PA setups immediately—no external amplifier required.

DSP Control for Controlled Sound

The built-in DSP lets you fine-tune the subwoofer to different applications, rooms and speaker systems. D-XSUB processing offers selectable bass characters to match the sound to musical style, event size and the desired low-frequency impact. The DXS mk3 Series therefore provides far more control than a classic active subwoofer without digital signal processing.

Flexible System Integration

The subwoofers in the DXS mk3 Series integrate effortlessly with full-range loudspeakers and professional PA systems. Adjustable crossover functions support a clean separation between subwoofer and top cabinets. The result is a balanced sound with a defined bass foundation, clear mids and transparent highs.

Cardioid Function for Greater Control

For demanding stages and live applications, the series supports cardioid setups. This reduces rear bass radiation—especially useful on stage, in acoustically challenging rooms and in monitoring situations. The outcome is tighter low-end control and cleaner sound distribution across the venue.

Modern Operation and Robust Construction

The DXS mk3 Series offers professional connectivity, intuitive control and a rugged build for regular use. Durable enclosure materials, sturdy grilles and practical controls make these subwoofers reliable tools for mobile sound reinforcement, touring, clubs and installations.

With the Yamaha DXS mk3 Series you get precise, punchy bass for professional PA applications!
