RCF NXL24-A-MK2 Active 2-Way Column Array

NXL 24-A MK2 is a line array column speaker masterfully engineered from the ground up to deliver stellar audio performance for bands, DJs, clubs and rental companies. The combination of premium RCF transducers and a 2100W two-channel amplifier produce coherent 100° x 30° coverage for the listening area with up to 132dB. The two-way design features four 6″ neodymium woofers and a 3″ driver on an asymmetrical waveguide. The horn’s design delivers accurate sound to the coverage area without tilting the enclosure. The speaker delivers an extended frequency range down to 60Hz and can be used as a standalone speaker, flown or coupled with another NXL 24-A MK2 for extended coverage. Pairing the speaker with subwoofers delivers full-range power for medium-sized concerts and DJ systems. Blending RCF proprietary FiRPHASE and Bass Motion Control DSP processing, the NXL 24-A MK2 speaker is perfectly tuned for absolute sound clarity and deep, powerful bass response. The rugged, tour-ready, high-quality Baltic birch plywood cabinet is easy to carry and installed securely using the dedicated rigging points.

Power That Moves

RCF’s improvements in transducer design make them stronger and more powerful. With 2,100W of power, the NXL MK2 2-channel Class-D amplifier is 50% more powerful than previous models. NXL manages extreme sound pressure levels with an ultra-fast attack, realistic transient response, and very low power loss. NXL modules are energy-efficient so there’s no need for a cooling fan—the amplifier is attached to a solid aluminum heat exchanger in the rear of the cabinet—with no moving parts. The input circuit features a new low-distortion design with an advanced safety limiter, maintaining the true character of the input signal at all levels. All NXL amplifiers are designed according to EN62368-1 for maximum safety and house a Switch Mode Power Supply section with minimum weight.

Line Array Performance and Coverage

The vertically asymmetrical horn design accurately projects the sound energy and avoids unwanted reflections when placed on a sub or a speaker stand, without tilting the enclosure. This design also allows configuring two cascading NXL columns for optimal coverage. Intelligibility is significantly increased in challenging acoustic environments. The speaker delivers an extended low-frequency range that is increased when paired with a subwoofer for medium-sized concerts and DJ sets.

Superior Transducers

Lightweight and powerful, RCF drivers are a reference in high performance. All transducers are designed by RCF engineers in Italy for maximum reliability and perfectly matched components. The extended clarity of the 3″ compression driver features a neodymium magnet for improved current handling and reduced weight. The titanium dome and the Polyimide/Kapton voice coil handle extreme power levels with very low distortion. Three, high-power 10″ low-frequency woofers with a new advanced transducer design gain more stability over higher currents, with less distortion, fast transient response and better heat dissipation.

Bass Motion Control

When searching for an extended bass with enhanced performance, RCF engineers found a way to remove the high-pass filter, replacing it with a forward-thinking approach. Introducing BMC (Bass Motion Control), the newly advanced woofer excursion management feature. The speaker equipped with BMC can handle the lowest audible frequencies without affecting the woofer stability, with extended linearity and better sound integrity.

The BMC method works by creating a complete map of the dynamic behavior of the woofer, to generate a custom algorithm that only limits over-excursions. This gives total freedom of signal reproduction to the transducer. When high-pass filters normally protect the woofer motion from becoming destructive but change the phase behavior, the new BMC algorithm breaks conventional rules.

New Perspective on Linearity

RCF speakers are designed using a proprietary and advanced digital FiR technology, conceived to deliver transparent sound, absolute clarity and perfect imaging to the listener. The special FiRPHASE filters allow for coherent distribution of sound for all listeners without phase distortions, ensuring minimum latencies in the system.

Raising the bar of sound

NXL series consists of full-range column line array speakers ideal for high-powered portable and installed professional applications where size is a critical factor. The sleek column design and flexible rigging options make it a smart choice for a wide range of sound applications. The rugged, high-quality Baltic birch plywood cabinet is easy to carry, with ergonomic handles on each side. It can be used alone, on a pole or paired with a sub, vertically coupled for improved vertical coverage and can also be flown or truss-mounted using the included rigging points and special accessories. From the cabinet to the final texture and the rugged protective grille, NXL Series offers maximum strength for intensive use on the road and can be used for fixed installation.
