Superior Transducers
Woofers and compression drivers are precision built, taking advantage of RCF's technologies and a wealth of professional knowledge and experience, and are dedicated to achieving extremely high standards.
X Boost - Experience the Depths of Sound
XBoost unlocks the profound low frequencies concealed within ART speakers. With a simple activation from the speaker's rear panel, immerse yourself in a rich tapestry of bass that pounds with exceptional clarity and control. Whether you're seeking subtle background music or an enriched sonic experience for your mix, XBoost delivers an astonishing perception of deepened bass, ensuring that every note retains its pristine essence, keeping the woofer excursion under control.
Ideal Stage Partner
The ART 7 speakers are the perfect choice for musicians and sound provider alike. Their cabinets are molded from a proprietary polypropylene composite engineered to quell vibrations, even at the highest volume levels. This translates to exceptional reliability and resilience under rigorous stage conditions.
New Perspective on Linearity
RCF speakers are designed using a proprietary and advanced digital FiR technology, conceived to deliver transparent sound, absolute clarity, and perfect imaging to the listener. The special FiRPHASE filters allow for coherent distribution of sound for all listeners without phase distortions, ensuring minimum latencies in the system.
Bring ART with You
The sturdy, ergonomic cabinet is easy to carry, thanks to either the handle at the top or the practical handles on both sides. The base of each speaker includes a steel pole socket for mounting each on a stand or on a subwoofer pole. Stability and safety are assured. The rear of the cabinet is shaped to be used as a floor monitor. Internal reinforcement prevents any deformation of the cabinet.
