Yamaha CXS12MKIII 12" Passive Subwoofer

When your system needs dependable low-end without the complexity of a powered sub, the CXS12 mk3 delivers. Compact enough for portable rigs but built to Yamaha's professional audio standard, it handles the low frequencies your full-range tops can't — cleanly, consistently, and without drama.

The CXS12 mk3 uses a bandpass enclosure design with Yamaha's own long-excursion 12" driver and 3" voice coil, engineered to minimize distortion and wind noise even at high output levels. The cabinet is plywood with a scratch-resistant polyurea coating, built to take the wear of regular transport and installation. Dual M20/35mm pole sockets give you flexibility in how you configure it, and optional covers and caster kits are available for touring or mobile applications.

Pair it with a Yamaha PX or PC-D Series amplifier and you unlock dedicated DSP presets, cardioid mode for stage-side bass reduction, and full system optimization. Works seamlessly with CXR mk3 full-range speakers as a matched system.
