Yamaha DXS15 MK3 Description
The Yamaha DXS15 MK3 is designed for users who need powerful sub-bass response with a balance of size and portability. Its 15-inch long-excursion woofer with a 3-inch voice coil is paired with an optimized band-pass enclosure that helps minimize unwanted cabinet and port noise while maximizing low-frequency impact. This makes it well suited for DJs, live music venues, event spaces, and portable PA systems that demand solid low-end energy and clear bass reproduction.
Powered by a newly developed 2500W Class-D amplifier, the DXS15 MK3 delivers up to 133 dB SPL with strong low-frequency authority. Yamaha’s built-in D-XSUB processing allows users to shape the bass response for different applications, with NORMAL mode providing the recommended balance and XTENDED LF mode extending the low-frequency response down to 35 Hz for deeper bass performance when needed.
The enclosure is built from durable plywood and finished in a rugged polyurea coating for long-term reliability in transport, setup, and everyday use. Its acoustically optimized cabinet structure helps maintain consistent bass performance, while the large ports and grille design reduce airflow noise at higher output levels. Dual side handles, optional SPW-1 wheels, and the optional SPCVR-DXS153 cover make the subwoofer easier to move and protect between gigs.
For system flexibility, the subwoofer includes adjustable crossover settings, cardioid mode for improved bass management on stage, and Bluetooth support for integration with Yamaha’s D-Remote app. When paired with DXR mk3 series full-range speakers, the Yamaha DXS15 MK3 helps create a powerful and well-matched full-range system for a wide variety of professional sound applications.
