Acoustic Design

The acoustic design of the DSX owes much to the extremely successful WS218X Wavefront twin 18"sub. The straightforward
twin chamber reflex enclosure is remarkably efficient and delivers excellent low frequency extension. The design features two
18"(450mm)/4"(100m) voice coil, ferrite drivers in a reflex-loaded enclosure with four flared ports, carefully designed to improve
linear airflow. Each driver is housed in its own separate chamber to move any cabinet resonances out of band. Sonically, the DSX
is a perfect balance of low frequency extension and punch.

Amplifier module

The DSX uses a self-contained amplifier module which contains the network and audio interface as well as the amplifier that
drivers the sub. The module is retained in the rear of the enclosure behind a protective hinged panel and may quickly and easily
be removed for replacement in the unlikely event of a failure.

Connections

All connections to the DSX are on the amplifier module and are accessed behind the connection cover which hinges upwards to
facilitate connecting all cables. There is an exit space in the middle of the cabinet at the bottom to allow the cables to be neatly
run up into the connection run into the cabinet with the cover closed.
