RCF NX 12-SMA - 1400W 12-inch Powered 2-Way Coaxial Stage Monitor with 60 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The RCF NX 12-SMA is a high-performance 12-inch powered coaxial stage monitor designed for sound providers, musicians, bands, and DJs. Featuring a 700W digital amplifier and a newly designed 12" coaxial neodymium transducer, the NX 12-SMA delivers exceptional audio clarity and definition while maintaining an extremely lightweight and portable design. The speaker's coaxial design ensures minimal phase distortion and broad, consistent coverage, making it an ideal choice for stage monitoring, stand-alone PA use, or as part of a larger sound system when paired with a subwoofer. The combination of high power output and advanced DSP processing makes this monitor suitable for a wide variety of live sound applications.

Equipped with an efficient 700W RMS, 1400W peak bi-amplification system, the NX 12-SMA produces a maximum sound pressure level of 129 dB, providing clear, distortion-free sound even at high volumes. The 12" neodymium woofer with a 2.5" voice coil ensures powerful low-frequency performance, while the 1.7" Kapton dome, 1" exit neodymium compression driver handles the high frequencies with precision, producing crisp, clear highs. The speaker is powered by a two-channel digital Class-D amplifier, which ensures ultra-fast transient response, low heat loss, and efficient operation without the need for a cooling fan.

The NX 12-SMA is designed to meet the needs of both stage monitors and portable PA systems. To optimize its performance across different applications, RCF has incorporated two equalization modes: "Floor" mode for stage monitoring and "Free Field" mode for stand-alone PA system use. These modes allow for easy adjustment of the speaker's response to ensure optimal sound quality, regardless of the setting. The speaker is also equipped with a soft limiter for protection, ensuring that the speaker operates safely even at high output levels.

The speaker's rugged Baltic birch plywood cabinet is finished with a durable, scratch-resistant paint, making it ideal for the wear and tear of touring and extensive use on the road. The steel grille protects the transducers from damage during transportation, while the ergonomic side handle provides easy portability. The NX 12-SMA is designed for versatile mounting options, featuring a 35mm pole mount insert for use on stands, as well as rigging points for wall- or truss-mounting. This makes it an excellent choice for both on-stage and fixed installation applications.

With its compact size, powerful performance, and flexible use in a variety of applications, the RCF NX 12-SMA is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a reliable, high-quality stage monitor or portable PA system. Whether used as a floor monitor on stage or as a stand-alone system, the NX 12-SMA delivers the clarity, power, and versatility needed for any live sound event.
