The Cardioid Mode on the DXS18XLF Subwoofer is designed to reduce onstage sound pressure while increasing the bass output directed towards the audience. This results in a cleaner stage monitoring environment and a more focused audience experience.
The 96kHz DSP processor in the DXS18XLF Subwoofer allows for flexible control over your sound, helping to manage and shape the lower frequencies for optimal audio performance.
The Polyurea coating on the DXS18XLF Subwoofer provides a high level of damage resistance. It protects the cabinet from scratches, bumps, and severe weather conditions, maintaining a professional appearance for years to come.
The Yamaha proprietary transducers in the DXS18XLF Subwoofer are crucial to achieving impressive low-frequency response, even at the highest output levels. They feature a durable die-cast aluminum frame and a 4" voice coil for consistent performance.
The D-XSUB LF processing in the DXS18XLF Subwoofer gives you total management of your lower frequencies. It offers three modes: NORMAL for a balanced low-frequency response, BOOST for a more powerful bass, and XTENDED LF for an even deeper bass extension.

Perfectly suited for use with DZR full-range speakers, the DXS18XLF is a powered bass-reflex type subwoofer with extended low frequency, producing a best-in class maximum SPL of 136dB SPL with superb clarity and power.
How Low Can You Go
Not for the faint of heart, the newest DXS-XLF go deeper than any model before, with an extended low frequency of 30Hz- perfect for professional touring musicians, DJ's, and sound engineers who need that extra-low, thundering bottom end that you just can't get from other subwoofers in this class. Flexible DSP and a bass-reflex cabinet design with a wide, flared port ensure your lower frequencies maintain outstanding clarity and musicality even when the volume is cranked.
Powerful DSP for flexible control
Like the full-range DZR models, the DXS-XLF subwoofers are also driven by 96kHz high power DSP processors and utilize dynamic EQ. Onboard D-XSUB LF processing gives you total management of your lower frequencies with NORMAL mode set for ideally balanced low-frequency response, while BOOST mode provides a tighter and more focused bass with some extra punch. XTENDED LF mode drops the low-end frequencies down even further for thunderous bottom end that delivers a low frequency extension unheard of from a cabinet of this size. Usually the higher the output, the more difficult it is to manage low frequency energy directivity, and significant stage-side sound pressure levels can seriously sabotage your monitoring, but with DXS-XLF setups consisting of two or more subwoofers, selecting the Cardioid Mode effectively decreases the sound pressure on stage while increasing the bottom-end output directed towards the audience, resulting in a much cleaner stage monitoring environment. Without a doubt, your DZR full-range system will reach new performance heights when used with the pronounced, powerful lows of DXS-XLF powered subwoofers.
Acoustics and utility
New Yamaha proprietary transducers with a durable die-cast aluminum frame and 4" voice coil are crucial to achieving such impressive low frequency response, even at the highest output levels. A dual damper also helps to realize extraordinarily high linearity of the low frequencies by mitigating unwanted vibration during extreme output levels.
Durable, portable, and road-ready
DXS-XLF enclosure exteriors feature a durable Polyurea coating with extremely high damage resistance to protect the cabinet from scratches, bumps, or severe weather conditions, maintaining a professional appearance for years to come. Additionally, the new, easy-to-grip aluminum handle, optional SPW1 wheel kit, and SPCVR speaker covers provide additional safety, portability, and peace of mind when you're on the road.
