Description
Yamaha DXS15XLF Powered Subwoofer. The power-boosted sub goes exceedingly well with DZR full-range speakers, and also the DXS15XLF is a powered bass-reflex type subwoofer with extended low frequency, producing a top-of-the-line maximum SPL of 136dB with unmatched clarity and power. Cut out for the audioholics who like their music and movies with reverberating sound quality, the newest DXS XLFs go deeper than any model before, with an extended low frequency of 30Hz— perfect for professional touring musicians, DJs, and sound engineers who need that extra-low, thundering bottom end that you just can’t get from other subwoofers in this class. The DXS15XLF also comes in a Dante-equipped “D” model, 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. Perfectly suited for use with DZR full-range speakers, the DXS15XLF-D is a Dante-equipped powered bass-reflex type subwoofer with extended low frequency, producing a best-in-class maximum SPL of 136dB with superb clarity and power. Flexible DSP and bass-reflex cabinet design with a wide flared port ensures your lower frequencies maintain superb clarity and musicality even when the volume is cranked.

Benefits of Yamaha DXS15XLF Powered Subwoofer:
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 leverage the dynamic EQ. Onboard D-XSUB LF processing enables complete control and management of your lower frequencies with NORMAL mode set for an 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 a thunderous bottom end that delivers a low-frequency extension, which is an uncommon accomplishment from a cabinet of this size. Usually, the higher the output, the more difficult it gets to manage low-frequency energy directivity, and significant stage-side sound pressure levels can jeopardize 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. It goes without saying that your DZR full-range system will reach new performance heights when used with the pronounced, powerful lows of DXS XLF active 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 setup 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.
* This function is supported in V1.2.2 or later
Acoustics and Utility
New Yamaha proprietary transducers with a durable die-cast aluminum frame and 4” voice coil are crucial to achieving such incredible low-frequency response, even at the highest output levels. A dual damper also helps to realize extraordinarily high linearity of the low frequencies by bringing down 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 while keeping the subwoofer road-ready. Additionally, the new, ergonomically designed aluminum handle, optional SPW1 wheel kit, and SPCVR speaker covers render high safety, increased portability, and zero worries of damage or deterioration due to wear and tear when you’re on the road.
