Yamaha - DXL1K Column-type Powered Loudspeaker

The DXL1K is a column-type powered speaker with a powerful 125dB SPL peak@1m sound output that belies its extremely portable slim body.

The combination of an easy setup procedure that only requires the line-array speaker to be attached to the top of the subwoofer cabinet, with the system expandability offered by the Link function, allows the DXL1K to be used in combination with a compact mixer or with the fully compatible STAGEPAS 1K mkII, creating a simple, compact, and high-quality PA system.

Key Features
• 1100W Class-D amplifier
• Biggest in class 12-inch subwoofer for low frequency
• 1.5-inch x10 slim line array speaker for high frequency
• Easy-to-use 2-channel mixer
• Link in/out for expanding system
• Lightweight ABS cabinet with rugged high-grade polyurea coating
• Dedicated cover included
• Optional dolly (DL-SP1K) for more portability, sold separately

Compact yet Powerful
Despite its lightweight and compact cabinet construction, the DXL1K features a high-output 1100 W amplifier powering a high-frequency array speaker system with 10 x 1.5-inch drivers and a large 12-inch subwoofer, producing best-in-class sound pressure levels of up to 125 dB SPL. By incorporating Yamaha's own Twisted Flare Port technology to reduce port wind noise that can occur with compact bass-reflex subwoofers, the low-end output is maximized, producing very deep, powerful, distortion-free bass.

J-Curve Slim Line Array
The high-frequency speaker array is comprised of 10 small-diameter 1.5-inch speakers. By adopting a J-curve array configuration, the high-frequency unit achieves vertical coverage of 30° across a span of 170°. With such a long, 10-driver array design the DXL1K can deliver clear, high quality sound consistently over longer distances, projecting uniform, high-quality sound from the front to the rear of the audience.

Expandable STAGEPAS systems
Linking a DXL1K and STAGEPAS 1K mkII provides greater coverage area and increased output power for large-scale performances. Both stereo and mono playback are supported, and when the STAGEPAS 1K mkII is set to mono, the inputs of the DXL1K and STAGEPAS 1K mkII can still be used (up to five mono inputs plus one stereo input).
