The RCF ART 915-A Active PA Speaker is the definition of performance. Offering 50% more power than previous models, you’ll get huge sound from a two-channel Class-D amplifier with 2100W peak output. That means extreme SPL handling capabilities, expressive transient response, and minimal heat loss – all from a speaker that’s perfect for rental and mobile applications.
Plug in directly via 1/4″ jack or XLR, and enjoy deep, punchy bass from a 15″ woofer, clear, glassy highs from a 1″ compression driver, and wide, even sound coverage from a 60-degree x 100-degree waveguide. Whether you’re performing music, in the club, or at a corporate event, it’s quick to tailor your speakers with three DSP presets on board.
The ART 9 Series offers a great leap forward in live sound installation, combining flawless audio with robust reliability. Its full grille, steel construction, and reinforced m-brace was designed to prevent deformations in demanding environments. Mount via four integrated M10 installation points, and move between venues comfortably with composite rubber handgrips.
The ART 9 series promises improved linearity and bass punch from advanced woofer excursion management. Bass Motion Control (BMC) technology extends the lowest audible frequency without affecting transducer stability. What’s more, FiRPHASE filtering algorithms optimise dynamic, amplitude, and phase patterns. This limits over-excursions, ensuring constant timbral balance, improved performance, and greater reliability at the highest volumes.
Add to that a True Resistive Waveguide, and you’ve got direct, even sound coverage to your entire audience. The ART 9 series combines the advanced BMC and FiRPHASE tech with a unique waveguide shape, mimicking a resonance-free pure resistive load. This reduces high-frequency distortion found commonly in classic horns. Thanks to asymmetrical sound shaping and distinct port placement, your speaker acts as a single ideal source, delivering near perfect sound imagery.
