Feel the Power
DXS Series is made for audio engineers and bass fanatics who demand consistent high-quality sound for their live performances or DJ events - even when it's cranked to the maximum SPL.
High-Efficiency 1020W Class-D Amplifiers
The DXS’s high-performance Class-D amplifier is capable of producing up to 1020W of power, and a maximum SPL of 136dB, delivered with exceptional clarity and accuracy. Both the DXS15mkII and DXS12mkII can produce 3dB more SPL than previous models.
Custom Designed Transducer
The high-output woofer of DXS18 features a 4" voice coil magnet and delivers powerful, well-defined, low-frequency bass with minimal distortion. The DXS12mkII and DXS15mkII both feature 2.5" voice coil magnets.
Band-Pass Type Enclosure
All DXS Series enclosures incorporate a band-pass design to reduce unwanted vibrations and noise that could otherwise sabotage your sound. We've also designed a very durable plywood enclosure which, when combined with the band-pass configuration, tested better than the traditional bass-reflex design and reduced distortion considerably, making it possible to achieve a higher SPL.
Durable, Portable, and Road-Ready
Ergonomic and compatible features just made your system setup and transport a whole lot easier.
Rugged coating for superior protection
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.
Compact and portable design enclosure
Just as impressive as the high output at their disposal is the compact portability and lightweight construction that houses the DXS Series' awesome power. The DXSmkII models in particular have shed 2kg and 3kg compared to their 15” and 12” predecessors respectively, making it easier than ever to load up, set up, or tear down your PA.
Optional Wheel Kit
For more fast and convenient setup of your DXS subwoofers, optional wheels are available, featuring radial ball bearings that ensure smooth running and a rattle-free performance.
Optional Speaker Cover*
The functional speaker covers that protect your speakers from unfavourable weather conditions during operation in outdoor performances, and in dusty and dirty warehouse storage, or the rigors of equipment transport on the road. Trilaminar polyester fabric with an inner cushion protect from impacts. Slits allow easy access to the handles for carriage.
*Covers do not guarantee waterproof protection.
Dual pole socket
For additional flexibility configuring your speakers, the DXS series comes equipped with a dual pole socket that accommodates both 35mm diameter speaker poles and M20 screws.

You know it’s all about the bass
I decided to add another bin to give my Pa a richer fuller sound and this works a treat! The DSX is pretty clever when it comes to variations of set ups too! You can stack them pop them side by side to get more punch with the bottom end and the cardioid mode is a simple set up too!
