A two-way active loudspeaker, the RCF ART 912-AX is the premium solution for any audio application, offering microphone preamps with 48 V phantom power, line inputs, an integrated 6-channel digital mixer with digital signal processing, a Bluetooth stereo audio input, and an option to pair two speakers. The combination of a 1.75" compression driver, a 12" bass driver and a 2-channel 2100-watt power amplifier provides consistent 100° x 60° coverage of the listening area with up to 130 dB SPL of distortion-free sound. The elegant polypropylene enclosure features internal M-Brace stiffening for stabilization. This makes it easily transportable and can be securely mounted on a tripod, flying, wall or truss using multiple mounting points.
With 2100 watts of power, the ART 9 Series 2-channel Class D power amplifier is 50 percent more powerful than its predecessors, achieving impressive sound pressure levels with ultra-fast attack and natural transient response with low heat loss. The ART 9 speakers are so energy efficient that they do not require a ventilation fan. Instead, the power amplifier is mounted in the rear of the cabinet to a fixed heat exchanger with no moving parts. The power amplifier, physically connected to the inner chassis, remains firmly in place.
The signal input path has been optimized for low distortion and, for added safety, features an advanced limiter that preserves the sound characteristics of the input signal at all levels. All ART 9 power amplifiers are standardized for maximum safety (EN62368-1) and are powered by a highly efficient yet ultra-lightweight switching power supply.
The large 2.4" colour touchscreen and the rotary encoder with push button on the rear panel allow quick adjustment of all speaker settings.
The menu with two modes is optimized for quick navigation: Easy Mode for quick configuration, and Advanced Mode for professional
The RCF LiveRemote app allows you to easily adjust the ART 9-AX's mixer, effects, routing, and Bluetooth settings. In addition, LiveRemote provides comprehensive control of the ART 9-AX's internal functions: save and load presets, select your preferred volume, adjust EQ, compressors and effects, tune your audio system, and more. Available for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
The integrated mixer offers comprehensive routing options, and the built-in crossover allows you to use the speaker with any subwoofer. Get a handle on boomy rooms with room modes or acoustically difficult venues with the built-in 5-band parametric equalizer, and the output delay ensures perfect sound reinforcement. Wireless pairing with another ART 9-AX is a convenient option if you can't run cables.
