General

An active full-range system loaded with three drivers that wield solid sound pressure levels and boast consistent performance across the entire frequency range: the RCF NX 985-A speaker is a must for any live venue. Whether it's amplifying bands or DJ sets, the combo of a potent 15 inch woofer, an 8 inch mid-range cone driver and a 1.75 inch neodymium compression driver is backed up by a 2,100 Watt peak power; a maximum sound pressure level of 138 decibels at one-metre; and a horizontal audio dispersion range of 100° by 60°. Basically, this speaker literally covers everything.

The RCF NX 985-A: Pro Live Sound

The internal Class-D amplifier is around 50% more powerful and efficient than previous generations, and thanks to a fast attack and potent output, assures live engineers of consistent, latency-free sound. The lightweight yet hefty transducers handle the power capacity with smooth efficiency while preventing distortion, and while the mid-range section adds detail and clarity, the 15 inch woofer delivers stable and distortion-free bass reproduction. The NX 985-A is also home to a Bass Motion Control function that removes the need for a high-pass filter, so even in the lowest frequencies, the bass remains stable and the sound quality remains consistent. Finished with a set of FiRPHASE filters, each painstakingly configured by specialists, the audio image is immediately transparent, clean, clear of any phase distortion and almost latency-free.

Wrote the following about RCF NX 985-A 3-Way Active Full-Range Speaker, 2100W

C'est un produit vraiment exceptionnel. Je ne la croyais pas aussi puissante, aussi percutante... Au départ , je pensais qu'elle serait légèrement supérieure à une PS15, car affichée en 2100W MAX (et NON RMS : donc au mieux 1000W MAX) Et puis, affichée moins de 2000€, je m'attendais pas à plus... mais en plus précis ! (car RCF est connu pour sa précision dans le médium-aigu, dans les fréquences prévilégiées des vocaux)
Et là, la claque !! La pression délivrée réellement est EMORME !! environ 3 fois plus puissante que des PS15 R2 !!! Une linéarité exemplaire, une diffusion de 100° verticale réelle, une clarté époustouflante ! (c'est pour cela que je les avais choisies d'ailleurs !) Je compare le son produit produit à une DSR112 de Yamaha qui a déjà un médium aigu remarquable, mais moins précis et moins puissant que la RCF. En terme de puissance la RCF envoie 3 à 4 fois plus que la DSR112 !! INCROYABLE !!! (mais vrai !)
Je ne comprend pas 2 choses :
1) pourquoi RCF annonce seulement une puissance de 2100W MAX dans les 138 dB, soit au mieux 1000W RMS alors qu'à l'évidence, c'est beaucoup plus....
2) Le tarif aussi bas, moins de 2000€ pour ce type d'enceinte... même s'il n'y a pas de réseau DANTE, mais des simples boutons à presser pour sélectionner le type de couplage avec une autre enceinte ou avec un SUB (sans passer pour un logiciel PC)
ATTENTION : mon appréciation se base sur des enceintes médium-aigus. Comme pour des éléments de lines array, il faut lui adjoindre des SUB doubles 38 cm pour donner du volume en basses fréquences !
Conclusion : Ravi des possibilités qu'offre ces enceintes pour un tarif aussi ridicule ! Vous voulez sonoriser une salle où le son est "dégelasse" ? Ce type de RCF est fait pour vous !
