NX25P Series Two - Active Speaker - 600w, 12 inch / 1 inch

The NX25P Series Two offers a great value for a 12-inch and horn active loudspeaker enclosure.
The enclosure uses the same proven design as the NX55P active enclosure. The biamped 600­watt (peak) power module has a minimum of controls yet provides maximum versatility making
the NX25P Series Two the ideal solution for many applications.

A 2-band EQ, XLR balanced microphone input and a balanced Combi-jack (XLR / TRS 1/4­inch TRS) line input on the power module means the NX25P Series Two can be easily connected
to any source, and setup quickly with a balanced EQ for the room. An XLR balanced line output
allows multiple NX25P Series Two’s to be linked together for use in a horizontal array or for easy
distribution around a large room when used as repeater cabinets.

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

The NX25P Series Two enclosures, like all enclosures in the NX loudspeaker line, have 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 Series Two 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.

Features

• Ultra-durable polypropylene construction

• Dual purpose full range and wedge monitor format enclosure

• Ultra-clear reproduction throughout bandwidth

• Lightweight, high efficiency, high tech, 600-watt (peak) biamped power module

• Balanced Combi-jack (XLR/1/4-inch TRS) input

• An XLR output for easy connection for linking and looping

• Direct microphone input with level control

• Two band overall EQ controls

• 12-inch Ceramic Magnet Woofer

• High quality 1-inch High Frequency driver

• Integrated flying hardware (3/8-inch threaded holes)

• Tough, full length metal grille

• Recessed panel

Power Switch and
LED

The Power Switch turns the
power on and off for the NX25P
Series Two enclosure and the
green LED will illuminate when
the power is on also indicating
a properly functioning fuse.

Mic In

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

Line In

The balanced Combi-jack (XLR/1/4-inch
TRS) input can be used with any line source
such as a CD player or an electronic
instrument with a line output. It‘s always
recommended to use balanced sources

2

when possible, 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). Since the
Mic In and the Line In each have
their own input and level controls,
they can be used at the same time.

Mix Out

To allow operation of multiple NX25P
Series Two enclosures from a single
source, the Mix Out line output is

provided. It should be connected
to the Line In of the next NX25P Series Two
in the chain. The Line In level control on the
subsequent unit in the chain should be set to
0 dB in order to provide the same output level
as the master enclosure. When connecting
multiple NX25P Series Two enclosures, the
last NX25P Series Two in the chain should be

powered off first (and

Each NX25P Series Two
should be powered
on or off before the
previous NX25P Series
Two 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 Series Two enclosures in the chain (if
multiple NX25P Series Two enclosures are used).

Treble and Bass
Controls

These controls affect all
the sound coming out
of a particular NX25P
Series Two 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.

Limit and Clip LEDs

These LEDs illuminate yellow when signal is
limiting and red when the signal is too large
for the input and is clipping.
