As the passive counterpart to the acclaimed DXS15 MK3 active subwoofer, the CXS15 MK3 shares the same proprietary high-durability transducer technology and bandpass cabinet design in an unpowered format — primarily intended for installation, fixed system and corporate event applications where a compatible amplifier infrastructure is already in place or where nearby power sources may be limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhen used with Yamaha PX and PC-D Series amplifiers with dedicated speaker processor tuning settings, or paired with compatible DSP processors, the CXS15 MK3 can achieve an extended frequency response down to 35Hz — three Hertz deeper than the CXS12 MK3's extended specification — for the most demanding bass applications. When paired with the CXR MK3 series loudspeakers in particular, the CXS15 MK3 enables users to build a seamlessly integrated and perfectly matched passive sound system with unparalleled impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Performance Bandpass Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe CXS15 MK3's bandpass cabinet design delivers greater low-frequency depth and output than the CXS12 MK3, with a passive frequency response extending down to 40Hz and a sensitivity of 95dB at 1W\/1m — one decibel above the CXS12 MK3 — alongside a calculated peak SPL of 126dB. By enclosing the 15\" driver with 3\" voice coil within an acoustically optimised bandpass enclosure — housed in a durable plywood cabinet with scratch-resistant Polyurea coating — the CXS15 MK3 maximises bass output efficiency and eliminates the unwanted cabinet noise and resonances that can affect vented or sealed passive designs. The result is a tight, clean and powerfully impactful low-frequency response that makes the CXS15 MK3 a compelling choice wherever deeper bass and greater output headroom are required compared to the CXS12 MK3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Connectivity \u0026amp; Deployment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe CXS15 MK3 features two Speakon NL4MP connectors — one input and one output — for secure, professional-grade speaker connectivity and easy system integration with compatible amplifiers and full-range loudspeakers. The 4 Ohm nominal impedance and 650W program power handling make the CXS15 MK3 compatible with a wide range of professional amplifiers capable of delivering the necessary output for demanding bass reinforcement applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDual pole sockets — a 35mm socket (80mm depth) and an M20 threaded socket (25mm threaded depth) — provide flexible satellite speaker mounting options for full-range loudspeakers such as the CXR MK3 series. Two side handles assist with practical transportation, and an optional speaker wheel kit (SPW-1) and speaker cover (SPCVR-DXS153) are available for enhanced portability and protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"2285\" data-start=\"1854\"\u003eYamaha CXS15 MK3 Key Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15\" Proprietary High-Durability Driver:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\" voice coil transducer delivering greater low-frequency extension and output than the CXS12 MK3.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e650W Program \/ 1300W Peak Power Handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Robust power handling for professional bass reinforcement from compatible amplification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e95dB Sensitivity \/ 126dB Peak SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Higher sensitivity and peak SPL than the CXS12 MK3 for more powerful and efficient bass output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 Ohm Nominal Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with a wide range of professional amplifiers for demanding bass reinforcement applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal Bandpass Cabinet Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eliminates unwanted cabinet noise for tight, clean and powerful low-frequency performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePassive Frequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40Hz–180Hz (-10dB) with extension to 35Hz–140Hz when used with compatible DSP processing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeakon NL4MP Input \u0026amp; Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Secure, professional-grade connectivity with easy system integration and signal routing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Pole Sockets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35mm and M20 threaded sockets for flexible satellite speaker mounting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable Plywood Cabinet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acoustically optimised with scratch-resistant Polyurea coating for long-term professional reliability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeamless CXR MK3 Integration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfectly matched for use with CXR MK3 series loudspeakers as a complete passive sound system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYamaha PX \u0026amp; PC-D Series Compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Takes full advantage of dedicated Yamaha speaker processor tuning settings for extended 35Hz response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 x Side Handles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Practical carry handles for comfortable transportation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional Speaker Wheels (SPW-1):\u003c\/strong\u003e Enhanced portability for transport between venues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional Speaker Cover (SPCVR-DXS153):\u003c\/strong\u003e Protection during transport, storage and outdoor use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57075472302453,"sku":"YAMCXS15MK3","price":1049.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2083\/7259\/files\/WEBYAM00751_CXS15MK3_2.webp?v=1776332542","url":"https:\/\/www.audiovolt.co.uk\/products\/yamaha-cxs15-mk3-15inch-band-pass-passive-subwoofer-650w-4ohm","provider":"Audio Volt ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
