NX Series
NX600 - Speaker - 600w, 15
inch / 1.5 inch
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 élite
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 ¨ö-inch
polyester high frequency driver.
The NX600 used the same proven PTC¢â (Positive Temperature Coefficient)
protection on the high frequency compression driver. PTC¢â 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¢â 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¢â 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.

NX Series Overview
NX - Not all man made
materials are created equal, acoustically speaking¡¦
The NX Series loudspeaker cabinets have undergone a constant evolution since
the flagship model, the NX20, was introduced in early 2000. Along the
way, improvements in the molding process have led to the use of tougher,
lightweight, low resonance variable density composite materials, use of denser
foam in select locations and redesigned part geometry for a much sturdier and a
much stronger molded loudspeaker box.
The NX Series cabinets now have a smoother, more rugged and more professional
final finish. Select cabinets are now available in either the standard black
finish for touring or club system PA applications, or in white paintable finish
for fixed installations.
All cabinets in the NX Series are molded for maximum versatility, and all
boxes can be used as either a full range front of house enclosures, as floor
monitors or as installation loudspeakers. Integrated flypoints, recessed
handles, dent resistant all metal grilles and integrated stand mount adaptors
are included on all NX Series cabinets ensuring maximum flexibility. Speakon and
1/4-inch connectors on the passive cabinets (XLR and TRS balanced connectors on
the active loudspeakers) ensure simple and secure connectivity. All NX Series
cabinets are UV and moisture resistant and can be used in outdoor applications.
The trapezoid box is ideal for mounting in arrays, or for use as a monitor,
with recessed input jack plate and an ideal wedge monitor angle that was taken
into account in the initial design. Neither application was considered as an
afterthought. Stand mount and flying hardware are also available.
Capitalizing on the lightweight molded cabinet design and equipped with a
proprietary neodymium woofer, Active versions of the NX series are also
available in the line.
Even when fully loaded with the unique processing crossover, CTL¢â high
frequency protection circuits and TWO amplifiers that drive the bi-amped system,
the NX55P is a 550 watt powerhouse that still weighs in at an easily
manageable 47 lbs, and the NX600 features a 600 watt 15¡± low frequency
driver and still only weighs 44lbs, the lightest in its class by a long shot.
The passive 2-Way NX88 weighs in at an ultra-low 17lbs, our most compact
loudspeaker yet.
