Yamaha DXS15MK3 15in 1500W Active Subwoofer
This professional active subwoofer delivers the output, control, and low-frequency extension required for live music, DJ performances, event production, rental systems, and medium-sized venues. Its proprietary 15in woofer uses a robust 3in voice coil to produce deep, controlled bass while withstanding the demands of regular professional operation.
The integrated Class-D amplifier delivers 2500W peak and 1250W RMS output, producing up to 133dB measured peak SPL. Yamaha’s optimized band-pass enclosure uses large ports and carefully controlled airflow to minimize turbulence and unwanted noise. Its plywood construction and impact-resistant polyurea coating provide excellent acoustic rigidity and touring durability.
A 32-bit, 96kHz DSP engine offers precise crossover control, delay, parametric EQ, routing, D-XSUB processing, and cardioid operation. XTENDED LF mode expands response down to 35Hz, while NORMAL mode provides a balanced response for most live sound applications. Factory presets are optimized for integration with DXR mk3 loudspeakers.
The rear LCD and encoder offer fast access to system parameters and eight user presets. Bluetooth supports direct audio streaming and wireless D-Remote control from compatible mobile devices, allowing operators to adjust and monitor multiple speakers from the listening position.
