PRODUCT REVIEW

ALL-NEW COMPRESSION DRIVER The ART 9 series utilizes a new 1.75” compression driver voice coil that is 10 times stronger than past models, made of a space-age material called Kapton that is highly resistant to extreme heat and vibration. This feature reduces breakup at the highest frequencies and volume levels the speaker will perform under. BASS MOTION CONTROL RCF has made significant strides in achieving solid low-end performance in the main speaker with its new Bass Motion Control (BMC). Instead of the high-pass filter found in most speakers, which can alter the phase behavior of the cone, BMC creates a

EQ AND MIXER SECTION RCF has kept the back of the ART 9 series simple, featuring a single combo XLR/TRS input and balanced line output, a power indication and overload/clip light, a volume knob, and an EQ selector. Users can choose between a linear response, a boosted setting, and a stage mode for monitor use. The ART 9 series features three models, each designed to suit different applications. RCF ART 910-A The RCF ART 910-A is the smallest speaker in the series but can deliver a respectable 130 dB SPL. Its True Resistive Waveguide provides 100- degree x 60-degree coverage with the 1.75” compression driver, and despite its smaller 10” woofer, it still extends down to 50 Hz on the low end. Its compact size makes it easy to transport and set up, making it ideal for small gigs, coffee shops, or restaurants. The ART 9 Series is an evolution of the ART speaker concept and a revolution in portable sound.

excursions. This feature provides total freedom of signal reproduction for the woofer, resulting in stronger low- end reinforcement. FIRPHASE TECHNOLOGY RCF’s proprietary FiRPHASE technology allows for coherent distribution of sound for all listeners without phase distortions. By measuring the speaker phase, the ART 9 speakers adapt the phase without altering equalization. They can also take into account the weak points of the transducers and the resonances/cancellations of the cabinet. This feature ensures a clean, crisp, and powerful sound that enhances performance and business.
