NX 985-A Three-Way Active Loudspeaker
RCF NX 985-A PROFESSIONAL THREE-WAY ACTIVE SPEAKER India 2025 Engineered from the ground up, the NX 985-A delivers exceptional audio performance, making it an ideal choice for bands, DJs, clubs, and rental applications. With a powerful 2100W Class-D amplifier and RCF’s premium transducers, this speaker achieves an impressive 138 dB SPL of clean, distortion-free sound with a wide 100° x 60° coverage.
The advanced three-way design features:
-
A 1.75″ neodymium compression driver with a PEEK diaphragm, mounted on a constant directivity waveguide
-
An 8″ midrange driver with a 2.5″ voice coil for accurate vocal reproduction
-
A 15″ high-power woofer for deep, punchy bass
With a linear frequency response from 40 Hz to 20,000 Hz, the NX 985-A ensures clarity and consistency across the entire audio spectrum. It also integrates Bass Motion Control and FiRPHASE processing for precise phase alignment and dynamic control.
Whether used as a standalone speaker, flown via M10 rigging points, paired with another NX 985-A, or combined with the RCF SUB 8008-AS subwoofer, it delivers high-performance sound reinforcement with reliability and ease.
Built into a rugged all-plywood cabinet, the NX 985-A is ready for the road, complete with IP-rated PowerCON TRUE1 TOP IN/OUT connectors for secure, professional power handling.
Driven by Performance
Power That Performs
The NX 9 packs serious power—more than any other in its class. With RCF’s latest transducer technology, it’s not just stronger—it sounds better, too. The 2-channel Class-D amplifier delivers a massive 2100 watts, giving you 50% more power than earlier models. That means it can handle intense sound levels with lightning-fast response, punchy transients, and barely any heat build-up.
Because it’s so energy-efficient, the NX 9 doesn’t even need a cooling fan. Instead, the amplifier is mounted to a solid aluminum heatsink on the back—no moving parts, just reliable heat control.
The input section has also been redesigned with a low-distortion circuit and an advanced limiter that keeps your sound clean and natural, even when pushed to the limit.
Every NX 9 amplifier meets EN62368-1 safety standards and comes with a lightweight, high-efficiency Switch Mode Power Supply, combining powerful performance with easy portability.
Advanced Transducer Technology
Built for Pure, Powerful Sound
RCF’s drivers are known for being both lightweight and incredibly powerful—raising the bar for high-performance audio. Each transducer is carefully designed in Italy by RCF’s expert engineers, ensuring top-tier reliability and seamless integration between all components.
At the top end, the 1.75″ compression driver delivers crystal-clear highs. Its neodymium magnet improves current handling while keeping things light, and the PEEK dome with a Polyamide/Kapton voice coil handles serious power with barely any distortion.
In the midrange, a high-powered 8″ cone driver works with a constant directivity waveguide to bring out the full detail of vocals and instruments, making every performance sound rich and natural.
Down low, a newly redesigned 15″ woofer delivers tight, deep bass. It’s built for stability at high currents, with less distortion, lightning-fast response, and excellent heat management—so it performs just as well during long, loud sessions as it does in quick bursts.
Low-Frequency Motion Management
Deeper Bass, Smarter Control
To get even more out of low-end performance, RCF engineers went back to the drawing board. Rather than sticking with the usual high-pass filter, they came up with a more intelligent solution: Bass Motion Control (BMC)—a breakthrough in woofer management technology.
With BMC, the speaker reaches deeper bass frequencies while staying completely stable. You get tight, clean, and controlled low-end, with better clarity and accuracy—even in the most demanding moments.
So how does it work? BMC creates a real-time model of how the woofer behaves, then uses a custom algorithm to step in only when it needs to—gently limiting extreme movements without affecting the rest of the audio signal.
While traditional filters can protect your speaker, they often change the sound’s character. BMC takes a different path—keeping your sound pure, dynamic, and always under control.
Live-Ready Powerhouse
Ready for the Big Stage
The NX 985-A is a full-sized main PA system built for demanding live sound environments. Thanks to its versatility, it’s a smart fit for everything from touring shows to fixed installations.
Crafted from rugged, high-quality wood, the enclosure is built to last and designed for easy handling, with ergonomic side handles for hassle-free transport. Whether you’re coupling multiple units for wider coverage or flying it using the built-in M10 rigging points, the NX 985-A adapts easily to any setup. Truss-mounting and installation are simple with optional accessories.
From the durable cabinet finish to the protective steel grille, every detail is made for heavy, real-world use—on the road or in a permanent venue.
