NX25P - Active Speaker - 200w, 12 inch / 1 inch

The NX25P offers the b est value in a 12-inch and horn active loudspeaker enclosure. The enclosure
is the same proven design as the NX250 passive loudspeaker and uses the same rugged and
reliable speaker components. The biamped 200-watt power module has a minimum of controls yet
provides maximum versatility making the NX25P the ideal solution for many applications.

A 3-band EQ, XLR balanced microphone input as will as an XLR / TRS 1/4-inch balanced combi-jack
line input on the power module means the NX25P can be easily connected to any source and quickly
EQ balanced for the room. An XLR balanced line output allows multiple NX250’s to be linked together
for use in an array or for easy distribution around a large room when used as repeater cabinets.

The horn/tweeter amplifier uses two-tier class A/B technology, allowing the horn to produce
clean transients to keep up with the high output of the woofer. The woofer, or low frequency,
amplifier uses class-H 2-tier amplifier technology. This achieves a lighter weight, more efficient
amplifier with higher headroom (and lower operating temperature). Each amplifier has it own
limiter to prevent distortion caused by clipping.

The NX25P enclosure, like all enclosures in the NX loudspeaker line, has been designed for
maximum versatility. The trapezoid box is ideal for mounting in arrays, or for use as a monitor
cabinet (with well-protected inputs and controls). The NX25P can easily be used in any
orientation, and close to walls, floors and in close arrays with multiple cabinets. Particular care
was taken designing the components to reduce extraneous heat production.

Mic In

The balanced XLR
microphone input can be
used with any dynamic
microphone.

Line In

The balanced XLR/1/4-inch
combi-jack input can be
used with any line source
such as a CD player or
an electronic instrument
with a line output. It is
always recommended to use
balanced sources. This helps prevent the risk
of hum or buzz associated with unbalanced
connections, especially if the cable is long
or the source is operated from a separate
AC power connection. Unlike the Mic In, the
Line In does not have it’s own level control so
connection to the Line In and the Mic In at the
same time are not recommended.

Mix Out

To allow operation of multiple NX25P
loudspeakers, from one source, this line
output is provided. It should be connected

to the Line In of the next

NX25P in the chain. When

connecting multiple NX25P

loudspeakers, the last

NX25P in the chain should
be turned off first (and on

last). Each NX25P should

be turned on or off before

the previous NX25P in the

chain. This will eliminate

unwanted on/off noises.

Mic Gain Control

The microphone level control

adjusts the mic level of the

loudspeaker. It also adjusts the

mic level on all NX25P enclosures in

the chain (if multiple NX25P enclosures are
used). The main Level control should be set to
maximum when the microphone is being used.

Level Control

The Main level control sets the level of all
sound coming out of the NX25P enclosure.
Unlike the Mic Gain control, this control does
not affect the signal coming out the Mix Out.

cabinet sets the volume
for that cabinet. When
used with a microphone
connected to one NX25P
at the beginning of the
chain the Level control
will normally be set to
maximum unless it is
desired that a particular
cabinet be set quieter
than the rest. When a
line source is used the
Level control will set the
volume for the enclosure.
If there are multiple NX25P
enclosures in a system, it
will be necessary to set
the Levels separately. If
using a mixer for the line
source, the mixer should
control the level of all the
NX25P enclosures. (When
a mixer drives the NX25P
enclosures, the Level control should be set
to maximum). If there are multiple NX25P
enclosures it may be desirable to set the level
control of individual enclosures to less than
maximum (if it’s desirable for that enclosure to
be quieter).

Treble, Mid and Bass Controls

These controls affect all the sound coming out
of a particular NX25P enclosure. These controls
do not affect the sound at the Mix Out. In a

system with multiple cabinets
it will be necessary to adjust
the bass, Treble, Mid and
Bass controls on all individual
enclosures.

Signal / Limit LED

This dual LED illuminates
green when signal is present
and red when limiting.

Shield Switch

The Shield switch disconnects
the ground connection on
the Line In. This may help
prevent hum or buzz under
some circumstances.

Power LED and Switch

The Power Switch turns the
power on and off for the
NX25P enclosure, the green

LED will illuminate when
the power is on also indicating a properly
functioning fuse.

Voltage Selector Switch

Select the proper voltage for the
geographical region in which the NX25P
will be used. The unit is set for 115V when
used with the standard North American line
voltage. For European operation set the unit
to 230V. If in doubt of the line voltage please
contact your local Yorkville dealer.
