XLS-12S, XLS-15S specifications

Cerwin-Vega has long been recognized as a pioneer in high-performance audio gear, and their XLS-12S and XLS-15S subwoofers are perfect examples of this legacy. Designed to deliver deep, powerful bass that enhances any listening experience, these models stand out in the crowded subwoofer market.

The Cerwin-Vega XLS-12S features a 12-inch high-excursion driver, which allows for impressive bass performance with minimal distortion. Its integrated amplifier provides a robust output of 300 watts RMS, while peaking at an impressive 700 watts for those moments when impactful sound is paramount. The XLS-15S takes things a notch higher with a 15-inch driver, known for its increased cone area, enabling deeper bass extension and higher sound pressure levels, achieving a peak of 800 watts.

One of the standout technologies in both models is the use of Cerwin-Vega's innovative bass reflex design. This design not only improves the efficiency of the subwoofers but also maximizes the low-end response while reducing unwanted resonance. The rear-firing bass port further aids in delivering an enhanced bass experience, suitable for both movies and music, creating an immersive audio environment.

Another key characteristic of the XLS subwoofers is the adjustable crossover frequency. Users have full control over how much bass they want to add to their audio setup, ensuring it can be optimized for various room acoustics and personal preferences. Also equipped with stereo RCA inputs along with a speaker level input, these subwoofers can easily integrate into existing audio setups, whether they’re used for home theater systems or music listening.

Additionally, the durable cabinet design minimizes vibrations, enhancing the sound quality while allowing for easy placement in any room. The XLS-12S and XLS-15S are also designed with integrated handles for portability, making it simple for users to transport between spaces for events or gatherings.

In conclusion, the Cerwin-Vega XLS-12S and XLS-15S subwoofers embody a powerful combination of advanced technology, exceptional build quality, and versatile performance.
