As the passive counterpart to the acclaimed DXS18 MK3 active subwoofer, the CXS18 MK3 shares the same proprietary 18\" high-durability transducer with a 4\" voice coil — the largest driver and voice coil in the CXS MK3 series — and the same optimised bandpass cabinet design in an unpowered format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePrimarily intended for installation, fixed system and live sound applications where a compatible amplifier infrastructure is already in place, the CXS18 MK3 provides the ultimate passive low-frequency foundation for the most demanding DJ events, live music performances and large-scale events where maximum bass depth, output and impact are essential. When paired with the CXR MK3 series loudspeakers in particular, the CXS18 MK3 enables users to build a seamlessly integrated passive sound system with truly unparalleled impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Performance Bandpass Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe CXS18 MK3's bandpass cabinet design delivers the deepest and most powerful bass performance in the CXS MK3 passive range. The 18\" driver with 4\" voice coil — a larger voice coil than the 3\" units found in the CXS12 MK3 and CXS15 MK3 — provides greater thermal capacity, higher excursion capability and the ability to sustain very high output levels over extended periods. With a passive frequency response extending down to 35Hz (-10dB) and a calculated peak SPL of 129dB, the CXS18 MK3 delivers substantially greater output and lower frequency extension than the smaller CXS models. When used with Yamaha PX and PC-D Series amplifiers with dedicated speaker processor tuning settings or compatible DSP processors, the frequency response can be extended further still — down to 32Hz — for the most demanding bass-heavy applications. The durable acoustically optimised plywood cabinet with scratch-resistant Polyurea coating ensures long-term reliability in demanding professional environments.\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 CXS18 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 1000W program power handling — the highest in the CXS MK3 series — make the CXS18 MK3 compatible with high-power professional amplifiers capable of delivering the substantial output levels required for the most 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 handling and positioning of this substantial cabinet. Given the CXS18 MK3's size and weight of 49kg, the optional speaker wheel kit (SPW-1) is a highly practical accessory for transport between venues, alongside the optional speaker cover (SPCVR-DXS183) for protection during storage and outdoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1854\" data-end=\"2285\"\u003eYamaha CXS18 MK3 Key Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18\" Proprietary High-Durability Driver:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\" voice coil transducer — the largest driver and voice coil in the CXS MK3 series — engineered for the deepest, most powerful and sustained low-frequency reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1000W Program \/ 2000W Peak Power Handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e The highest power handling in the CXS MK3 series for maximum bass output from high-power professional amplification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e96dB Sensitivity \/ 129dB Peak SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e The highest sensitivity and peak SPL in the CXS MK3 passive series for exceptional output efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 Ohm Nominal Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with high-power professional amplifiers for the most 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 at the highest output levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePassive Frequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35Hz–180Hz (-10dB) with extension to 32Hz–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 32Hz 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 handling and positioning this large-format cabinet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional Speaker Wheels (SPW-1):\u003c\/strong\u003e Highly recommended for practical transport of this large-format subwoofer between venues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional Speaker Cover (SPCVR-DXS183):\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":57075590267253,"sku":"YAMCXS18MK3","price":1049.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2083\/7259\/files\/WEBYAM00752_CXS18MK3_2.webp?v=1776333632","url":"https:\/\/www.audiovolt.co.uk\/products\/yamaha-cxs18-mk3-18inch-band-pass-passive-subwoofer-1000w-4ohm","provider":"Audio Volt ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
