The NX 985-A is a professional three-way active speaker engineered to deliver exceptional audio performance for bands, DJs, clubs, and rental companies. Featuring a 2100 W Class-D amplifier, this speaker produces up to 138 dB of distortion-free sound, covering the full frequency range from 40 Hz to 20 kHz. Its three-way design combines a 1.75" neodymium compression driver, an 8" midrange, and a 15" high-power woofer to provide clear, detailed audio with remarkable coherence and imaging. The speaker’s rugged, all-plywood cabinet is tour-ready and includes M10 rigging points for easy installation, while True Outdoor Protection connectors ensure reliable performance in harsh environments.
