SERIOUS. BASS. PERFORMANCE.

Great bass sound speaks for itself. Period.

If you like your bass prominent and powerful, DXS Series high-output, powered subwoofers will ensure your bottom-heavy audio is heard loud and clear. Featuring high-efficiency Class-D amplifiers and a customized woofer housed in a sturdy plywood band-pass enclosure, DXS subwoofers are capable of delivering up to an impressive 1020W of distortion-free power with supreme clarity. The lineup features the acclaimed DXS18 and recently upgraded versions of the 15" and 12" models, the DXS15mkII and DXS12mkII, which have adopted technologies and features from the DXS18 for an added professional edge and boost in performance.

Feel the Power

DXS Series were 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.

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.
