EAW MKC120 vs RCF NX 932-A

Short answer: the EAW MKC120. It ranks #8 of 50 12-inch pa speakers by sound quality, rated 4.3/5, at $1,555; the RCF NX 932-A ranks #10, rated 4.2/5, and costs $1,599, so there is little reason to consider the other one.

What the EAW MKC120 does well: Vendor Spinorama data gives preference scores of 5.04 standalone and 7.57 with an ideal subwoofer. Watch for: A passive cabinet, so it needs a separate amplifier and processor with EAW presets.

What the RCF NX 932-A does well: A 3-inch titanium compression-driver diaphragm, 100° x 70° coverage and plywood cabinet make it especially capable for clear vocals over wide areas. The catch: The medium-quality Spinorama measurement is truncated and cannot generate a preference score, so its high position relies partly on response/directivity curves and published engineering.

Buy the EAW MKC120. It is rated higher for sound quality than the RCF NX 932-A and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.

The Two Speakers In Full

EAW MKC120: $1,555.00 Passive SoundPro eBay

Pros: Vendor Spinorama data gives preference scores of 5.04 standalone and 7.57 with an ideal subwoofer. Bass reaches about 62Hz (-3dB), deeper than most 12-inch boxes here, and the 135dB maximum SPL and 600W handling suit small and mid-size rooms. It weighs 16.4kg, with a rotatable 90° x 60° horn, built-in handle and pole mount. Measured bass extension of 62Hz (-3dB).

Cons: A passive cabinet, so it needs a separate amplifier and processor with EAW presets. Listening-window narrow-band deviation is 0.239 and predicted in-room smoothness is 0.729, less even than the best coaxials in this ranking. Street pricing is high for a box that cannot play without extra gear.

RCF NX 932-A: $1,599.00 Amazon B&H Photo Video Guitar Center eBay

Pros: A 3-inch titanium compression-driver diaphragm, 100° x 70° coverage and plywood cabinet make it especially capable for clear vocals over wide areas. The 2100W amplifier, advanced RCF processing and 132dB peak claim support serious main-speaker use. Measured bass extension of 61.5Hz (-3dB).

Cons: The medium-quality Spinorama measurement is truncated and cannot generate a preference score, so its high position relies partly on response/directivity curves and published engineering. At 22.9kg it is significantly heavier than the ART 932-A.
