Al's Yamaha DXS12 MKII active subwoofer review 2018

A look at Yamaha's new DXS12 MKII active subwoofer. Having owned a pair of V1 DXS12s for over 5 years - I know the value vs. performance ratio of these is excellent and that they are very reliable and sound great for most mobile DJ and even band applications - especially considering they are a 12" active sub. My go to system for weddings over 150 people is a pair of DXR8s over DXS12s and with the new MKIIs, Yamaha has lowered the weight by 7lbs, added variable hi-passed outputs, cardioid mode, available casters and covers as well as locking IEC power cables, not to mention more power, 3DBs more headroom and of course the 7 year warranty. Can't go wrong for the very reasonable asking price of 799$ US or 999$ canadian. Need more bass? DXS15 MKII and DXS18 might be what you're looking for...
