Spektrum offers a wide range of transmitters, from the beginner-friendly DX series to the feature-enhanced NX series and the feature-rich iX smart series. Let’s compare them in detail so you can understand their differences and make an informed decision.
Detailed comparisons
DX Series
The DX series is one of the earliest RC air transmitter lines from Spektrum. It provides essential features to meet the basic needs of RC hobbyists. As an entry-level series, it is durable, reliable, and offers good remote control performance, all at an affordable price.
iX Series
The iX series is Spektrum’s smart RC air transmitter line, offering several key advantages:
- Feature-Rich: It includes smart features like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, voice control, a high-resolution touch screen, intuitive programming, and real-time status monitoring.
- Higher Precision and Smooth Control: Compared to the DX and NX series, the iX series is equipped with Hall-effect sensing gimbals for superior control precision.
- More Channels: It meets the needs of RC airplane enthusiasts who require more channels for controlling additional functions.
- Better Quality: Built with higher-quality materials, the iX series is more durable and provides a more comfortable user experience.
Despite its numerous advantages, the iX series has fewer users due to its higher price point. Therefore, next, we will introduce the NX series, the most popular line of Spektrum RC air transmitters.
NX Series
The NX series strikes a perfect balance between the DX and iX series in terms of features, quality, and price. Compared to the DX series, the NX series offers some smart features, a non-touch color screen, Wi-Fi connectivity, and simpler programming and operation. It is ideal for pilots who want to upgrade from the basic DX transmitter experience.

All Spektrum transmitters, whether DX, NX, or iX, use Spektrum’s exclusive DSMX 2.4GHz frequency-agile technology, ensuring consistent signal stability.
- If you’re a beginner, the basic DX series is an excellent entry-level choice.
- If you’re planning to invest more in the RC hobby, the reasonably priced and advanced NX series is worthwhile.
- If you want the best RC experience with smart technology and more precise control, the top-tier iX series is perfect for you.
