The DXS18XLF-D subwoofer is designed to be compatible with professional sound systems, including integration with DZR full-range speakers and Dante networked audio devices, making it suitable for high-end home theaters, music systems, and professional touring setups.
Yes, the DXS18XLF-D subwoofer can be used in a cardioid configuration when set up with two or more subwoofers. This configuration helps to decrease sound pressure on stage while increasing the directed bottom-end output towards the audience for a cleaner monitoring environment.
Absolutely, the DXS18XLF-D subwoofer comes with onboard D-XSUB LF processing that includes NORMAL mode for balanced low-frequency response, BOOST mode for a more focused bass with extra punch, and XTENDED LF mode for even lower frequency extension.
The DXS18XLF-D is compatible with Yamaha's 'ProVisionaire Control' software for Windows and 'ProVisionaire Touch' for iPad, which are both Dante compatible and allow for remote management of your sound reinforcement system.
The DXS18XLF-D subwoofer features a robust construction with Yamaha proprietary transducers, a die-cast aluminum frame, and a 4-inch voice coil. Its exterior is coated with a highly damage-resistant Polyurea coating, and it includes a durable aluminum handle for added portability and protection on the road.

Perfectly suited for use with DZR full-range speakers, the DXS18XLF-D is a Dante-equipped 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.
Dante-equipped for sophisticated capability with simple connectivity
Just like the DZR Series, each DXS-XLF model comes in a Dante-equipped "D" version enabling smart system integration with Yamaha consoles and other Dante devices via the Dante I/O (2in/2out) which also features SRC (sample rate conversion) allowing 48kHz device compatibility. Patching is simplified considerably with Yamaha CL/QL digital mixing consoles from the I/O device display, while TF console users can select Quick Config for surprisingly fast, easy set up and operation of a sophisticated sound reinforcement system. Combining the Analog I/O with Dante I/O, opens up countless routing and system configuration options, while the Dante break-IN and break-OUT function can add even more flexibility by acting as a simple I/O box. What's more, Yamaha's customizable control panel software "ProVisionare Control" for windows and "ProVisionare Touch" for iPad are also Dante compatible, adding more simple remote management of your sound reinforcement system.
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.
