NX 985-A is a three-way active speaker masterfully engineered from the ground up to deliver stellar audio performance for Bands, DJs, Clubs, and Rental Companies. The best-in-class combination of RCF premium transducers and a two-channel 2100W amplifier produce coherent 100° x 60° coverage for the listening area with up to 138 dB SPL of distortion-free sound. The three-way design features a 1.75" neodymium compression driver with a constant directivity waveguide, 8" cone midrange on a phase-coherent waveguide, and a 15" high power woofer. Used as a stand-alone speaker, flown, coupled with another NX 985-A or combined with the RCF SUB 8008-AS subwoofer, the NX 985-A delivers extreme SPL output at all frequencies with high performance and reliability. The rugged, tour-ready, high-quality all-plywood cabinet is easy to carry and secure to install using the dedicated rigging points available.

About Powered Speakers at Sound Productions
Get all the features you need right out of the box with powered speakers from Sound Productions! All speakers need a sort of amplifier to function. Powered speakers (also known as active speakers or self-powered speakers) have built-in amplifiers, so they’re ready to connect to your audio source without any other required accessories—making them great for environments where space is limited.
Powered speakers are typically the go-to choice for portable use because they’re affordable, easy to set up, and simple to use as standalone sound systems. They’re great for achieving an immersive audio experience with the minimal amount of hassle—perfect for delivering a polished performance in smaller venues that may not have their own sound system installed. With fewer components to pack, they’re also a great choice for traveling events, such as mobile DJ performances or adding music to an outdoor event. Many models include other built-in features such as effects, compressors, and more to make one powered speaker virtually a standalone PA system!
