System integration with Yamaha consoles and other Dante devices is a breeze due to the Dante I/O (2in/2out) that also provides you with sample rate conversion that provides 48kHz device compatibility.

Yamaha CL/QL digital mixing consoles can be connected via Dante with patching being super-streamlined due to the convenient I/O device display, while TF console owners are able to use Quick Config for quick, easy set up and use of even really sophisticated sound reinforcement systems.

Furthermore, Yamaha’s control panel software “ProVisionare Control” and “ProVisionare Control” for Windows and iPad respectively, are also Dante compatible, so you can get incredible remote management of your sound system.

Powerful DSP

Ensuring you get the best possible audio at all times, the DXS18XLF-D features powerful D-XSUB LF processing with three different modes.

Using NORMAL mode, the DXS18XLF-D will be set for ideally balanced low-frequency response while BOOST mode gives you a tighter, more focused bass sound which packs an extra punch.

Last, but not least, is XTENDED LF mode which brings the low-end frequencies down even further for some seriously chest-thumping, rib-rattling bottom end, delivering low frequencies that you just don’t find in cabinets of this size.

New Proprietary Transducers

The secret to achieving such impressive low frequency response it the new Yamaha proprietary transducers which comprise of a durable die cast aluminium frame and 4” voice coil.

A dual dumper is also in use, helping to control the low frequencies and eliminated unwanted vibration.

Combined, the result is fantastic audio, even at the most extreme output levels.

Ready for The Road

Designed for professional use and longevity, the DXS18XLF-D enclosure exterior has been given an ultra-durable Polyurea coating that provides extremely high damage resistance.

With the cabinet protected from scratch, bumps and severe weather conditions, the DXS18XLF-D will maintain its professional appearance and incredible performance for years to come.
