Description

The DSX’s high output capability is achieved by combining state-of-the-art driver technology with an onboard Class D amplifier module which can deliver 6kW peak power.

Its two reflex-loaded 18” (450mm)/4” (100mm) drivers perfectly balance low frequency extension and impact.

Forward output as well as rear rejection can be optimised to achieve coverage where required and cancellation elsewhere.

A flying version, the DSX-F can be flown alongside or at the top of MLA Compact arrays, as well as being ground-stacked. The ground-stack DSX can be upgraded to a DSX-F by an easy-to-fit accessory kit.
