Product Description
The Yamaha DXS12mkII is a compact, high-output 12-inch powered subwoofer designed to deliver powerful, controlled bass for mobile DJs, live bands, small to medium-sized venues, and professional sound reinforcement systems. Featuring a high-efficiency 1020W Class-D amplifier and a custom-designed 12-inch woofer, this professional subwoofer delivers a maximum output of 134 dB SPL and a frequency range extending down to 42 Hz.
Its optimized band-pass enclosure combines a durable plywood cabinet with Yamaha's acoustic engineering to provide strong low-frequency output while helping minimize unwanted cabinet vibration and noise. The result is punchy, defined bass in a space-efficient design that works well in portable PA systems, entertainment venues, and temporary event setups.
The DXS12mkII features Yamaha's D-XSUB digital signal processing, with selectable NORMAL, BOOST, and XTENDED LF modes to tailor the bass response to the application. Selectable crossover settings of 80 Hz, 100 Hz, and 120 Hz help integrate the subwoofer with compatible full-range loudspeakers. A dedicated cardioid mode supports directional low-frequency management for suitable multi-subwoofer setups, helping reduce bass energy behind the subwoofer array when configured correctly.
With balanced XLR inputs, XLR outputs, natural-convection cooling, and both 35 mm and M20 pole sockets, the DXS12mkII offers flexible system integration and mounting options. Its durable black plywood enclosure with a protective polyurea coating is built for professional use, while optional wheels and a protective cover make transport and storage more convenient.
Whether you're reinforcing a DJ system, adding low-frequency impact to a live band, or building a compact mobile PA, the Yamaha DXS12mkII provides powerful bass performance in a professional, portable package.
