RCF ART 945-A 15" Active PA Speaker

Full Description

High power output

The RCF ART 945-A stands out with its powerful 2100W Class-D bi-amplification, capable of managing extremely high sound pressure levels while maintaining an ultra-fast attack and realistic transient response. This level of power is ideal for venues that demand high volume output without compromising sound quality. The energy-efficient design includes a solid aluminum heat exchanger, ensuring optimal performance without the need for a cooling fan, thus reducing noise and increasing reliability.

Advanced acoustic technology

Equipped with RCF's FiRPHASE technology, the ART 945-A offers a sound reproduction that is coherent and phase-aligned across the listening area. This results in an exceptional clarity and a perfect stereo image, making it ideal for both live and recorded music. The True Resistive Waveguide technology further enhances this by ensuring consistent coverage of 100° x 60°, effectively reducing high-frequency distortion and improving overall sound dispersion.

Bass precision and depth

The Bass Motion Control (BMC) system is a key feature in the low-frequency management of the ART 945-A. By mapping the dynamic behavior of the woofer, the BMC algorithm allows for an extended bass response without risking over-excursion. This technology provides the speaker with the ability to handle powerful low frequencies with improved linearity and sound integrity, crucial for performances that require deep, impactful bass.

Durable and versatile design

The ART 945-A's cabinet is constructed from a special polypropylene composite material, making it both lightweight and durable. The internal M-brace reinforces the cabinet, preventing deformation and enhancing acoustic properties, even at maximum volume. The heavy-duty steel grille ensures protection for both the transducers and vented ports, while the multiple rigging points allow for versatile mounting options, whether pole-mounted, flown, wall-, or truss-mounted.

Superior component integration

The speaker features a high-performance 4" titanium/neodymium compression driver and a 15" woofer with a 3.5" voice coil, designed to deliver a precise mid-bass response and accurate sound reproduction. The integration of these components ensures that the ART 945-A can deliver a balanced and dynamic audio experience, suitable for a wide range of professional applications, ensuring that every performance is delivered with maximum impact and clarity.
