Overview

At just about every boathouse and regatta in the world, coxswains can be seen sporting the signature NK blue head band and microphone while carrying the small stainless steel display unit.

The Cox Box is the product that started it all! First made in 1978 by Paul Nielsen and Richard Kellerman in a New York basement, the Cox Box system by NK has been helping coxswains, crews and coaches ever since.

Considered by rowers all over the world to be essential equipment in any coxed boat, the Cox Box shows time, stroke rate and stroke count while providing a powerful amplifier and speaker system that ensures that the coxswain’s voice will be heard in every seat in the boat.

  • A Cox Box system shows time, stroke rate and stroke count on a large, clear display and provides amplification.
  • Clock functions are controlled with a simple toggle switch on the front panel.
  • Pieces and races can be timed to tenth of a second accuracy, and stroke rates are automatically stored for later recall and analysis.
  • The Cox Box now features a stainless steel can, designed to better withstand the sometimes harsh environment of rowing.

The Cox Box system’s accurate stroke rate, stroke count and timer give the coxswain the basic information needed to practice and race effectively. Whether calling a power ten or whispering a strategic race move, the coxswain can be sure that every seat in the boat will hear them through this powerful amplification system.

The display is backlit, making it easy to read during early morning practices, and the timer works with a single toggle switch—easy to use even in cold conditions with gloved fingers.

Wiring harnesses are ordered according to boat size and come with one, two or three speakers. Harnesses for dragon boats are available by special order.

To take your crew to the next level, add a Speed Coach System to your boat to provide boat speed. With this complete system from NK, the coach and coxswain will have all the information they need to run practice effectively and execute strategic race plans.
