The black Yamaha DXS15XLF is a powered subwoofer designed for extending the low frequency of full-range speakers and is well suited for use with any of the DZR-series powered loudspeakers. The 1600W Class-D amplifier powers the 15" woofer to provide a frequency range of 33 to 150 Hz (-10 dB) with a maximum SPL of 136 dB.

The on-board D-XSUB LF 96 kHz DSP processor provides total bass management. The Normal mode is ideal for a 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 large bottom end. If using two or more subwoofers, the selection of Cardioid mode can effectively reduce stage volume, while increasing low-end output directed at the audience.

The rear panel offers two combo XLR-1/4" inputs with XLR thru/outputs and dedicated level controls. A USB port allows for system upgrades and preset configuration and backups. The Yamaha DXS15XLF ships with a standard IEC power cord.

• High-power 1600W Class-D amplifier module
• Lightweight yet very durable plywood cabinet with premium grade Polyurea coating
• Optional speaker cover (SPCVR-DXS15X) and wheel kit (SPW-1)

• DXS XLF subwoofers are driven by 96 kHz high-power DSP processors and utilize dynamic EQ
• Onboard D-XSUB LF processing provides total low-frequency management
  • Normal mode:  Set for ideally balanced low-frequency response
  • 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 large bottom end
• Cardioid mode:
  • Works with two or more subwoofers
  • Effectively decreases the sound pressure on stage while increasing the bottom-end output directed towards the audience
  • Results in a much cleaner stage monitoring environment

• DSP protection functions for maximum output and component longevity
• Active subwoofers ensure the combination of transducer and amplifier are matched and optimized for the best possible performance
• During development, Yamaha measured and tested the durability of each transducer and the overall amplifier output to set optimal limiter points using precise DSP control
• Employing many of the same protection functions used in high-end professional power amplifiers, Yamaha's DSP consistently monitors the status of the power supply, power amplifiers, transducers, and signal levels to protect each component in order to maintain optimum performance while extending component life and usability

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this work with the Yamaha DGX-660?

A: No it cannot work with this digital keyboard.

Q: 2. Does the high cut knob act as a crossover? Will the frequencies above the set high cut pass through the HS8S's outputs to go to studio monitors?

A: On the HS8 subwoofer, the high cut control sets the highest frequency output from the sub. The Low Cut control will act as the crossover to the monitor speakers and attenuate the low frequencies before outputting to the connected monitors. This can be bypassed or engaged with the on off switch.

Q: 3. Can this be used with HS80M monitors? I've noticed that this subwoofer has a very different frequency response curve to the now discontinued HS10W subwoofer that was designed for the HS80M monitors.

A: Contacted Yamaha and they assure me that it can be used with HS80M monitors. Frequency response is different as the HS8S can go as low as 22hz (HS10W was 30hz). You just need to adjust the cross over frequency until it best complements the HS80M monitors.

Q: 8. With the volume set at nominal level, does the monitor pop when the power is turned on or off?

A: I have not had any hum or pop turning it on or off. I also use balanced, shielded cables when recording in the field. This monitor has worked quite well for me :)

Q: 9. Can the Bluetooth input be used while also linking two speakers together?

A: Yes, you can stream audio via Bluetooth to the Mackie SRT215 Powered Portable PA Speaker while also linking two speakers together.

Q: 10. where can I find the overload indicator?

A: There is no indicator. You should be able to hear any distortion before the systems are overloaded. =============================a href= http://static.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/115939.pdf target= _blank http://static.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/115939.pdf/a
