Frequently Asked Questions - NX10C YORKVILLE

How to connect a microphone to the NX10C?

Use the Combo XLR/1/4" input in mic mode. Connect your microphone to the XLR part. The +24V phantom power is activated automatically. Adjust the mic level with the dedicated control.

Can I connect a line source (MP3 player) to the mic input?

It is better to use the stereo 1/8" line input or the 1/4" part of the Combo jack. The mic input is optimized for microphones and may saturate with a strong line source.

How to daisy-chain multiple NX10C speakers?

Use the XLR Link output of one speaker to the line input of the next. Set the Line Level control to 0 dB on the slave speakers. Power on the last speaker first and power off last.

What is the function of the EQ control?

Turned to the left, it boosts bass and treble (Hi-Fi contour). To the right, it boosts treble. At 12 o'clock, the response is flat. Adjust individually on each speaker in the chain.

How to mount the NX10C on a pole?

Insert the pole into the through-hole located under the speaker. You can also rotate the speaker around the pole for 360° coverage while maintaining phase.

Can I use the NX10C as a stage monitor?

Yes, use the rear handle as a tilt bar to angle the speaker upward. It can also be placed on its side using the mounting holes.

What to do if the red Clip LED lights up?

Reduce the input level (source or Line Level/Mic Level control) until the red LED turns off. This prevents clipping and protects the speaker.

What type of power cable to use for daisy-chaining?

Use a cable of at least 16 AWG (for USA/Canada) and rated for the total power consumed by the cascaded speakers (max 1200W). The mains plug must remain accessible.

How to clean the NX10C speaker?

Use only a dry cloth. Do not use liquid or abrasive products. Unplug the speaker before cleaning.

What to do if there is a problem or the speaker does not work?

Check the power cord, fuse, and connections. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician. Never open the speaker yourself.

NX10C · Active Speaker · 600w, 10-inch / 1-inch

When designing the NX10C sound reinforcement loudspeakers, Yorkville Sound wanted to build lightweight enclosure with a small footprint that performs exceptionally well. With the NX10C, 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!

The NX10C offers a great value for a 10-inch and horn active loudspeaker enclosure. The biamped 600-watt (peak) power module has a minimum of controls yet provides maximum versatility making the NX10C the ideal solution for many applications.

It all starts with the NX10C'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 is also an advantage, as the 12-inch footprint along with the innovative pole mount design make the NX10C 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 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 incredible "through-hole" pole mount allows multiple NX10C cabinets to be mounted on a single speaker stand. As an example, when wider horizontal coverage is needed, the NX10C cabinets can be rotated about the axis of the pole while maintaining full phase coherency. This would allow overage 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'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 to be used as a wide-coverage floor monitor or center fill cabinet. Now that's versatility!

Power Switch and LED

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

AC Inlet and Outlet

The NX10C 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.

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 NX10Cs when individual control on the enclosures is needed with an individual input signal.

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.

Link Out

The Link line output enables multiple NX10C 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 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 enclosures, the last NX10C in the chain should be powered off first (and powered on last). Each NX10C should be powered on or off before the previous NX10C in the chain. This will eliminate unwanted on/off noises.

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.

Mic Level Control

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

EQ Control

This control affects all the sound coming out of a particular NX10C 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 ca come in handy when multiple NX10C'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.

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.

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.
