RCF ART 745-A MK5 - 1400W 15-inch Powered 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 90 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The RCF ART 745-A MK5 is the flagship model in its category, offering a remarkable 1400W of power and unparalleled sound performance. Equipped with a 15" neodymium woofer and a 4.0" voice coil neodymium compression driver, this loudspeaker delivers exceptional vocal clarity and deep, controlled low frequencies. The combination of high-performance transducers and advanced DSP processing ensures precise, full-range sound with maximum output, making it an ideal choice for large venues, professional sound providers, and musicians who demand the best in audio fidelity and reliability.

At the heart of the ART 745-A MK5 is RCF's Class-D power amplifier, which efficiently delivers 1400W peak power, split between 1000W for low frequencies and 400W for high frequencies. The amplifier's ultra-fast attack and realistic transient response allow the speaker to reproduce dynamic audio with incredible accuracy. Its solid aluminum mechanical structure stabilizes the amplifier during transport while also facilitating fan-less heat dissipation, ensuring the speaker stays cool during extended performances. The SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) section within the amplifier maximizes output while minimizing weight, making the ART 745-A MK5 highly portable without compromising on performance.

The 15" neodymium woofer, with a 3.5" voice coil, offers a linear response and precise control over low frequencies, ensuring deep, punchy bass that enhances the overall sound experience. Coupled with the 4.0" voice coil compression driver and titanium diaphragm, the ART 745-A MK5 delivers superb vocal clarity and sound projection, making it an ideal choice for live performances and large events. The speaker features a 90° horizontal and 60° vertical coverage, providing wide, consistent sound dispersion across the venue. The constant directivity horn ensures that high frequencies are evenly distributed, eliminating the common issue of high-frequency beaming and delivering clear sound to every corner of the space.

RCF's XBoost low frequencies enhancer is an exclusive feature that enhances the bass response, delivering deeper, more controlled low-end frequencies. With a simple activation from the speaker's rear panel, XBoost unlocks the speaker's full potential, making it suitable for both subtle background music and high-energy live mixes. Whether you need a deeper bass presence or a more controlled low-end, XBoost ensures that every note remains clear, tight, and powerful without overdriving the woofer.

RCF's proprietary FiRPHASE technology is incorporated into the ART 745-A MK5 to provide transparent sound with perfect imaging. The FiRPHASE filters ensure coherent distribution of sound, eliminating phase distortions and minimizing latencies. This technology, along with the advanced DSP processing, ensures that the ART 745-A MK5 delivers exceptional sound quality with minimal distortion, whether at high output levels or across the entire frequency range. The DSP also optimizes crossover, equalization, phase control, and soft limiting to protect the speaker while maintaining its performance during high-output conditions.

The ART 745-A MK5 is designed for ease of transport and durability. Its cabinet is molded from a high-quality polypropylene composite, which reduces vibrations and enhances the speaker's structural integrity. The speaker is equipped with a top handle and side handles, making it easy to carry and position. The base of the speaker features a 35mm pole mount insert for secure mounting on a speaker stand or subwoofer, and the rear of the cabinet is shaped for use as a floor monitor, offering versatility in various performance setups. Internal reinforcements prevent deformation of the cabinet, ensuring that the speaker maintains its durability under demanding stage conditions.

With a frequency response range from 45 Hz to 20,000 Hz and a maximum SPL of 132 dB, the ART 745-A MK5 can fill large venues with clear, powerful sound. The speaker's thermal and RMS protection, along with the soft limiter, ensures that the system operates reliably and safely during high-output use. The ART 745-A MK5 is CE compliant, meeting the highest standards of safety and performance, making it a trusted choice for professional audio applications.
