ART 912-A

RCF

Designed to deliver stellar audio performance and versatility for intensive audio applications, the 12" RCF ART 912-A is a highly flexible, easy to use, 2100W powered PA speaker for today's working musicians, singer/songwriters, mobile DJs, and other sound providers. The speaker works in a variety of orientations and configurations for use as a main PA or stage monitor. When used as a main speaker, a pair of ART 912-A's is well equipped to cover an audience of up to 300. A push button on the back of the speaker allows you to physically switch between three preset modes: Linear, for standard applications; Boost, which provides loudness equalization for background music played at low volumes; and Stage, for using the speaker as a stage monitor. The ART 912-A employs True Resistive Waveguide technology, which incorporates several refinements of the transducers and the vented port design to create a resonance-free signal that reduces high-frequency distortion. The speaker also utilizes Bass Motion Control (BMC), which bypasses the need for a high-pass filter and instead uses an advanced woofer excursion management feature that can handle the lowest audible frequencies without affecting the woofer stability, with extended linearity and better sound integrity. A single combo XLR-1/4" connector can accept both unbalanced and balanced signals. There is also an XLR Thru-Output for daisy-chaining to additional speakers or other audio equipment. The highly efficient 2100W Class-D bi-amplifier delivers 1400W to the 12" woofer and 700W to the 1.75" compression driver, which provide full-range audio (50 Hz to 20 kHz) with a sound pressure level powerful enough to ensure the entire audience can hear your performance. The ART 912-A includes a power cord.At a Glance Up to 130 dB sound pressure level2100W Class-D Bi-Amplification50 Hz to 20 kHz linear frequency response1.75" compression driver12" wooferFiRPHASE zero-degree phase technologyBass Motion Control (BMC) woofer excursion managementPreset Selector LINEAR: This preset is recommended for all regular applications of the speakerBOOST: This preset creates a loudness equalization recommended for background music applications when the system plays at a low levelSTAGE: This preset is recommended when the speaker is used as a stage monitorPower that Moves With 2100W of power, the 2-channel ART 9 Class-D amplifier is 50% more powerful than previous models, able to manage extremely high sound pressure levels with an ultrafast attack, realistic transient response, and very low heat lossART 9 is very energy efficient, so there is no need for a cooling fan the amplifier is attached to a solid aluminum heat exchanger in the back of the unit with no moving parts. Being physically connected with the internal frame, the amplifier is firm and solid within the cabinet. The input circuit features a new low-distortion design with an advanced safety limiter, maintaining the true character of the input signal at all levelsAll ART 9 amplifiers are designed according to EN62368-1 for maximum safety and present a Switch Mode Power Supply section joining high-efficiency with minimum weightM-Brace Cabinet Design The sleek cabinet uses a special polypropylene composite material with a radically new construction conceptThe grille cover is heavy-duty steel, protecting both transducers and vented portsThe purpose-designed M-brace connects the four internal sides of the cabinet and amplifier, preventing any deformation for a completely inert body, with augmented acoustical damping even at maximum volume settingsIt also performs as a reinforcement structure, for greater resistance to mechanical stressBass Motion Control When searching for an extended bass with enhanced performance, RCF engineers found a way to remove the high-pass filter, replacing it with a forward-thinking approach.
