About: DS18 12XL1000N-8 XL Series 12" Neodymium Magnet Mid-Range Loudspeaker 500W RMS - 8 Ohm (Each)
12” Mid-Range Loudspeaker With Neodymium Magnet
DS18’s 12XL1000N-8 is made for serious audio systems, delivering professional-grade clarity and volume without compromise. This 12” 8-ohm mid-range loudspeaker is a monster in any setup!
LOUD and Clear
Rated at 500W RMS and 1000W MAX, the 12XL1000N-8 delivers thunderous midrange that punches through any mix. With a 100dB sensitivity, it hits harder with less power, keeping your system efficient and LOUD. Its wide 80Hz–5KHz frequency range captures every note with surgical accuracy.
Neodymium Core
At the heart is a lightweight neodymium magnet, delivering high flux density in a compact form factor. The Kapton voice coil resists heat and stress under pressure, while the non-pressed paper cone balances stiffness and responsiveness for crystal-clear output, even at high volume.
Performance You Can Feel
From the demodulating rings for thermal efficiency, to the satin black aluminum basket that keeps everything in place—this driver was built to handle the kind of sound real audiophiles dream about.
You want pro-level output? Get it with DS18’s 12XL1000N-8!
