Description

The NX600 is the first 15-inch and horn molded loudspeaker from Yorkville Sound. This 600-watt passive box is using a new injection molded technology and features a first for composite loudspeakers, a rotatable 80 x 50 horn patterned after the custom ABS waveguide horn used in our popular lite loudspeaker line.

The unique trapezoidal shape employed on the NX600 allows the cabinet to be used as a monitor or front-of-house loudspeaker and makes it ideal for mounting in tight arrays, or in multiple cabinet clusters. The NX600 easily handles 600 watts with its Neodymium 15-inch woofer and 1 -inch polyester high frequency driver.

The NX600 uses Yorkville's well-proven PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) protection on the high frequency compression driver. PTC is an ingenious current sensing / self-resetting breaker that offers some serious advantages over current protection schemes used in many loudspeaker cabinets. This protection scheme, while always present in the signal path, remains inaudible until it becomes necessary for it to react. It kicks in at a point where it effectively reduces output to the horn and protects that diaphragm from damage due to excessive power input or signal distortion. Unlike a breaker it does not require a physical reset to allow signal back to the horn driver, and unlike a bulb or fuse, does not need to be replaced if the circuit is tripped, and the fuse is blown.

Where PTC shines is in heavy feedback environments where most horn diaphragm damage occurs. In rare situations even where a microphone might be dropped in a monitor, the sustained squeal can destroy diaphragms in seconds. PTC will significantly reduce output level to the horn to protect the diaphragm. When the situation has been rectified, and the feedback eliminated the horn will return to full operating level within half a second.

Product Experience I've tried it Closest Store
I rented 2 of the NX600 speakers for a fashion show setup and they worked well for the event. The speakers are lightweight making it easy to set them up on tripod stands. They handle 600 watts of power which was no problem for the Audiopro powered mixer that I was using for the show. I was able to achieve nice sound projection to the back of the hall with little EQ. I did have 2 powered subs for the extra low end punch of all the dance music for the show. These speakers would easily provide plenty of full-range sound even without subs for many venue setups. I would recommend them for any sound jobs where you require a lightweight, portable speaker that is easy to setup and can handle a decent amount of power. These speakers would be great choice to pair up with a powered mixer or your choice of separate power amp. Also, the cabinets have a multi-angle design so that you can also use the speaker on its side as a stage monitor. The NX600 is a well designed, Canadian made speaker at a good price point. Also check out the other NX series speakers that are both passive and powered.

Product Experience I own it Closest Store Abbotsford British Columbia
Great cab!! It can handle the abuse of touring and sounds great. You can push it to its limits and still have quality sound. It is built well, although the price is high but worth it since its made in Canada.
