Sound Barrier NX12 12″ Passive Two-Way Full-Range Loudspeaker — Versatile Touring and Installed Sound Performance
NX12 Overview
The Sound Barrier NX12 is a compact, full-range passive loudspeaker designed for touring and installed sound reinforcement applications where versatility and reliability are non-negotiable. Part of the NEXONE series, the NX12 is engineered to handle over 600 watts of amplifier power while maintaining a reduced footprint and weight compared to standard trapezoidal enclosures. Its defining feature is a proprietary constant directivity asymmetrical dispersion horn that is user-rotatable in four positions, enabling progressive horizontal dispersion from 55° to 100° and a fixed vertical dispersion of 55°. This makes the NX12 an ideal solution for audio engineers, touring companies, houses of worship, and system integrators who require a single enclosure capable of serving both front-of-house PA and stage monitor duties without compromise.
The NX12’s trapezoidal form factor supports both vertical and horizontal PA deployment as well as wedge monitor positioning, eliminating the need for dedicated monitor enclosures in applications where rig weight and logistics are critical considerations.
Key Features
- Over 600W Power Handling — Safely accepts high-power amplifier drive, making it compatible with professional touring-grade amplification without thermal or mechanical compromise.
- Proprietary Constant Directivity Asymmetrical Dispersion Horn — Delivers controlled, consistent coverage across the operating frequency range, reducing off-axis coloration and improving intelligibility.
- User-Rotatable Horn (4 Positions) — The horn assembly rotates to four discrete positions, allowing the operator to select the optimal dispersion orientation for the deployment scenario without tools.
- Progressive Horizontal Dispersion (55° to 100°) — Asymmetrical horizontal coverage adapts to both tight, long-throw PA configurations and wider, near-field monitoring applications.
- Fixed 55° Vertical Dispersion — Consistent vertical pattern control minimizes ceiling and floor reflections in installed and live environments.
- Dual-Purpose PA and Stage Monitor Design — Trapezoidal enclosure geometry supports upright PA use and wedge monitor positioning from a single product, reducing inventory and transport requirements.
- NEXONE Series Compatibility — Engineered to work with advanced amplifiers within the NEXONE ecosystem, ensuring consistent system performance and reliability across deployments.
- Compact and Reduced-Weight Enclosure — Smaller volume and lighter weight than comparable trapezoidal systems, improving portability for touring applications and simplifying rigging for installed sound.
