Yorkville nx10c 500 Watt Powerded Loudspeaker Enclosure Owner’s Manual

NX10C-2 – Active Speaker 1200W, 10-inch / 1-inch

When designing the NX10C-2 sound reinforcement loudspeakers, Yorkville Sound wanted to build lightweight enclosure with a small footprint that performs exceptionally well. With the NX10C-2, we have confidently delivered what we feel is one of the most usable and versatile sound reinforcement loudspeakers on the market. We’re proud to introduce the NX10C-2! The NX10C-2 offers a great value for a 10-inch and horn active loudspeaker enclosure. The biamped 1200-watt (peak) power module has a minimum of controls yet provides maximum versatility making the NX10C-2 the ideal solution for many applications. It all starts with the NX10C-2’s inputs for mic and line level sources, virtually any audio source can be connected. The innovative single EQ control is extremely flexible to help you tailor the sound for the environment. The size of the NX10C-2 is also an advantage, as the 12-inch footprint along with the innovative pole mount design make the NX10C-2 one of the most versatile professional PA cabinets ever! 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 3-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 incredible “through-hole” pole mount allows multiple NX10C-2 cabinets to be mounted on a single speaker stand. As an example, when wider horizontal coverage is needed, the NX10C 2 cabinets can be rotated about the axis of the pole while maintaining full phase coherency. Coverage for up to 360 degrees is possible! You can also use the rotated cabinets as side-wash stage monitors as well. Another option would be to use the same stands you use for your stage lighting system. NX10C-2’s can be mounted under the light bars, saving valuable space on stage. The versatility doesn’t stop there. Yorkville design engineers made sure that even the rear-mounted handle also has more than one use. It has been designed to operate as a tilt bar, allowing the NX10C-2 to be used as a wide-coverage floor monitor or center fill cabinet. Now that’s versatility

Power Switch and LED

Power Switch and LED
The Power Switch turns the power on and off for the NX10C-2 enclosure and the green LED will illuminate when the power is on also indicating a properly functioning fuse.

AC Inlet and Outlet
The NX10C-2 supports cascaded power installation via the AC Outlet connection. It is important to note that the maximum power that can be drawn through the first unit’s AC inlet is 100 240V, 12-5A, 1200W. The user must take into consideration the sum of all power consumed by the units in the chain. Choose an appropriate rated power cord (min 16AWG for USA and Canada) acceptable in the country where the product is used when setting up a cascaded installation.

Clip LED
This LED illuminates red when the signal is too strong and adjustment is needed to either the input’s signal or the input level control.

Link Out
The Link line output enables multiple NX10C-2 enclosures to be chained together using a single audio input source, the Link. It should be connected to the Line In of the next NX10C-2 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 NX10C-2 enclosures, the last NX10C-2in the chain should be powered off first (and powered on last). Each NX10C-2 should be powered on or off before the previous NX10C-2 in the chain. This will eliminate unwanted on/off noises.

Mic In / Line In Combi-Jack
The balanced XLR microphone input part of the Combi-jack can be used for either dynamic or condenser microphones (it is phantom power enabled). The 1/4-inch part of the Combi-jack is connected in parallel with the Line level Combi-jack and can be used as a Link out for parallel connection of multiple NX10C-2s when individual control on the enclosures is needed with an individual input signal.

Mic Level Control
The microphone level control adjusts the mic level of the loudspeaker. It also adjusts the mic level on all NX10C-2 enclosures in the chain (if multiple NX10C-2 enclosures are used).

EQ Control
This control affects all the sound coming out of a particular NX10C-2 enclosure. Turning the control counterclockwise will increase the level of the bass and the treble together in order to provide a hi-fi contour for playback sources. Turning the control clockwise increases the high frequency content. This can come in handy when multiple NX10C-2’s are arrayed together. Setting the control to the 12:00 position will provide flat response. This control does not affect the sound at the Mix Out. In a system with multiple cabinets it will be necessary to adjust the EQ control on all individual enclosures.

Line In
The balanced Combi-jack (XLR/1/4-inch TRS) input can be used with any non microphone line source such as an MP3 player, a CD player or an electronic instrument with a line output. It‘s  always recommended to use balanced sources 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.

1/8-inch Line In
The 1/8-inch Line input jack is a typical ‘stereo’ audio input which properly sums the left and right signals from stereo sources such as MP3 players.

Line Level Control
The Line Level control adjusts ALL the line level inputs, including the 1/4-inch part of the XLR Mic Combi-Jack.
