RCF NX 985A Description
The
NX 985A combines advanced engineering and powerful transducers in a full-sized touring-grade cabinet. The system is built around RCF’s cutting-edge amplifier platform, delivering 2100W peak power (1400W LF / 500W Mid / 200W HF) with zero fan noise thanks to passive convection cooling and an integrated aluminum heat sink.
Its three-way architecture ensures accurate sound reproduction across all bands. A 15" woofer produces deep low-end punch, an 8" neodymium midrange on a dedicated waveguide enhances vocal clarity, and the 1.75" compression driver handles high frequencies with precision and minimal distortion.
Proprietary
Bass Motion Control (BMC) removes traditional high-pass filters for maximum bass extension without sacrificing woofer integrity.
FiRPHASE technology ensures time-aligned output with minimal latency, ideal for high-impact audio applications where phase coherence is essential.
Designed for both touring and installed use, the NX 985A features a rugged, all-plywood cabinet with multiple rigging points, ergonomic side handles, and PowerCON TRUE1 TOP connectors for IP-rated power input. Whether flown, pole-mounted, or ground-stacked, it’s built for flexibility and reliability under demanding conditions.
