Proprietary FiRPHASE DSP technology optimizes phase coherence for accurate sound imaging and minimal latency.
Bass Motion Control (BMC) manages woofer excursion to deliver extended bass response while maintaining stability and linearity.
True Resistive Waveguide provides consistent 100° horizontal x 60° vertical coverage with reduced high-frequency distortion.
Reinforced polypropylene composite cabinet with M-brace internal construction improves rigidity and acoustic damping.
Versatile mounting options support pole mounting, stage monitoring, flown installations, and fixed sound systems.
RCF ART 912A Description
The RCF ART 912A combines advanced amplification, precision-engineered transducers, and proprietary digital signal processing in a compact powered loudspeaker. Designed for demanding live audio environments, it features a 12-inch woofer and a high-frequency compression driver powered by a two-channel 2100W peak Class-D amplifier. With a frequency response of 50 Hz to 20 kHz and up to 130 dB maximum SPL, the speaker provides the output and clarity required for DJs, musicians, event production companies, and professional sound installations.
RCF's FiRPHASE processing uses advanced digital filters to optimize phase alignment between the transducers, improving sound imaging and consistency throughout the listening area. Bass Motion Control manages low-frequency driver excursion without relying on conventional high-pass filtering, preserving bass extension and tonal accuracy. Combined with the True Resistive Waveguide, these technologies provide coherent 100° x 60° coverage, controlled dispersion, and detailed sound reproduction.
The ART 9 Class-D amplifier delivers 1400W peak power to the low-frequency driver and 700W peak power to the high-frequency driver. Its efficient design uses a solid aluminum heat exchanger and convection cooling instead of a fan, reducing moving parts and operating noise. An advanced input circuit, thermal and RMS protection, and soft limiting help maintain reliable performance during demanding applications.
Built from a rugged polypropylene composite material, the cabinet features RCF's M-brace reinforcement system, which connects the internal cabinet walls and amplifier structure to reduce vibration and improve mechanical strength. A heavy-duty steel grille protects the transducers and vented ports, while integrated carrying handles simplify transportation and setup. Three M10 rigging points, a pole-mount socket, and multiple positioning options allow the speaker to function as a main PA loudspeaker, subwoofer satellite, floor monitor, or installed sound system component.
