Coaxial Neodymium Transducers
The coaxial neodymium transducers are designed for audio quality and definition as well as a lightweight final system
Absence of Feedback
The advantage of coaxial transducers is the absence of feedback, and thanks to the coherent single spherical wave front with dispersion control, a wide ideal listening position
Single Neodymium Ring
The single neodymium ring magnet provides a high flux density and BL factor
Hyper-Vented Basket
Both of the transducers are equipped with a hyper-vented basket and magnetic assembly that provide heat dissipation and lower power compression
Amplification
The NX Coaxial Stage Monitors are provided with digital amplifiers with DSP processing
Input Board
The input board is equipped to configure the stage monitors for most stage situations, and includes:
  • XLR input and output
  • Jack input
  • Input sensitivity switch
  • Free field - floor switch
  • Status LEDs
  • Powercon AC input and output
  • Ergonomic Handle
    Cabinets are made with Baltic Birch plywood and finished with a resistant paint for extensive use on the road. An ergonomic side handle, integrated with the input panel, is provided for an easier transport
    EQ
    In order to control the response of the speaker in different applications, RCF has incorporated two Equalization Modes:
  • Floor, for stage monitoring
  • Free Field, for the use of the speakers as a stand-alone PA
  • 1,400 Watt peak, 700 Watt RMS digital bi-amplification
    129 dB maximum SPL
    60° x 60° constant directivity horn
    12" High power neodymium woofer, 2.5" voice coil
    1.7 kapton dome, 1" exit, neodymium high frequency driver
    DSP processing, floor field equalization, soft limiter and protection

    RCF NX 12-SMA Reviews

    Mostly What I Needed

    By Diveguru
    Rated 4 out of 5
    Date: 2014-11-18

    I needed a floor monitor that was: Not overly large Light in weight Self Powered High Output and it has met all these requirements. However I am disappointed in the amount of EQ work it has taken to get it to where I think it's smooth. For me this means major cuts at: 125 250 630 1.6 and a minor cut at 3.15. Considering the cost and the RCF reputation I am surprised. This is the best they can do with all the electronics built in and under their control? Sort of a swing and a miss. At this point it sounds great and having a point source is awesome but I doubt I will buy another for my second purchase.

    question

    How many volts is the AC power input? 110 or 220V?
