The black Yamaha DXS18XLF-D is a Dante-equipped, 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 18" woofer to provide a frequency range of 30 to 150 Hz (-10 dB) with a maximum SPL of 136 dB.

The onboard 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 DXS18XLF-D is equipped with an additional panel with two etherCON connectors (2-in/2-out) for interfacing with other Dante-compatible equipment such as other speakers and Yamaha's CL/QL/TF digital mixing consoles. The Yamaha DXS18XLF-D ships with a standard IEC power cord.

  • 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

• Dante enables smart system integration with Yamaha consoles and other Dante devices via the Dante I/O (2-in/2-out), which also features SRC (sample rate conversion) allowing 48 kHz device compatibility
• Patching is simplified considerably with Yamaha CL/QL digital mixing consoles from the I/O device display
• TF console users can select Quick Config for surprisingly fast, easy set up and operation of a sophisticated sound reinforcement system
• Combining the Analog I/O with Dante I/O, opens up flexible routing and system configuration options
• The Dante break-IN and break-OUT function add even more flexibility by acting as a simple I/O box
• 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

Q: 7. Does this model have crossover templates for the SRM-15 V-Class or vice versa? Or does Mackie have plans for an accompanying SRM V-Class sub? Urgent answer required; I'm planning to buy V-Class 15-inchers and am trying to decide on the right sub. Don't understand why Mackie would put out the V-Class SRM line without a sub or at least specifying which sub it pairs with. Baffling.

A: We do not carry a Mackie Sub in the SRM V class line, but the DRM 18S is tunable and can be made to match the SRM models. There is no built in preset for it,

Q: 8. Is yamaha ns-sw100w subwoofer compatible with sony receiver str-dh790 receiver consideratingf impedance thrshold aspect?

A: Yes, the Yamaha NS-SW100 10" 100W Subwoofer (Black), B&H # YANSSW100BL, would be compatible with the Sony STR-DH790 7.2-Channel A/V Receiver (B&H # SOSTRDH790) as long as it is not turned up to maximum volume. This receiver has a considerably higher power output than what this subwoofer is designed to handle.

Q: 9. Will this work with the Yamaha P515? I have heard it was designed to work with that.

A: The Yamaha NS-SW100 is not made for compatibility with the Yamaha P515 piano.
