RCF ART 912-A - 2100W 12-inch Powered 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 100 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The RCF ART 912-A is a high-performance, 2100W 12-inch powered 2-way portable loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional sound quality and versatility for a wide range of audio applications. Whether for live sound, large-scale events, or installed audio systems, the ART 912-A provides powerful audio with up to 130 dB SPL and features a unique combination of advanced components, including a 1.75" compression driver, a 12" woofer, and RCF's proprietary True Resistive Waveguide. This speaker is engineered to provide clear, distortion-free sound with exceptional vocal clarity, deep bass response, and precise control over both high and low frequencies.

The ART 912-A features RCF's Class-D bi-amplification system, delivering a combined total of 2100W peak power. The power is split between 1400W for low frequencies and 700W for high frequencies, providing superior performance in both bass-heavy and high-frequency applications. The amplifier's ultra-fast attack, realistic transient response, and low heat dissipation are achieved through an energy-efficient design that eliminates the need for a cooling fan. The amplifier is mounted on a solid aluminum heat exchanger, ensuring reliable performance even during extended use without any moving parts. The input circuit features a new low distortion design and an advanced safety limiter that preserves the integrity of the input signal, even at high volumes.

The 12" woofer in the ART 912-A, coupled with a 2.5" voice coil, delivers deep, controlled bass with extended linearity, while the 1.75" compression driver with a titanium diaphragm ensures clear, detailed high frequencies and exceptional vocal projection. The compression driver and woofer are paired with RCF's innovative True Resistive Waveguide (TRW), which provides constant directivity over a 100° horizontal and 60° vertical coverage pattern. The TRW mimics a resonance-free pure resistive load, reducing high-frequency distortion and improving stereo imaging. This, combined with FiRPHASE technology, ensures that the ART 912-A delivers transparent sound with perfect imaging, coherent distribution, and minimal latency across the listening area.

The ART 912-A features RCF's Bass Motion Control (BMC) technology, which manages woofer excursion for enhanced bass performance. Unlike traditional high-pass filters, the BMC system creates a dynamic map of the woofer's behavior and generates a custom algorithm that limits over-excursions while maintaining extended low-end performance. This breakthrough technology allows the ART 912-A to handle the lowest audible frequencies without compromising stability or sound integrity, providing deep, powerful bass without distortion.

Designed for durability and portability, the ART 912-A is built with a rugged polypropylene composite cabinet that reduces vibrations and ensures structural integrity. The cabinet features an M-brace internal reinforcement system that enhances acoustic damping and resistance to mechanical stress, ensuring the speaker remains solid and stable even at maximum volume levels. The steel grille protects both the transducers and vented ports, while the speaker's ergonomic design includes handles on the top and sides for easy transport. The 35mm pole mount insert allows for easy installation on speaker stands or subwoofers, and the speaker can also be flown or wall-mounted using the multiple rigging points provided. Additionally, the rear of the cabinet can be used as a floor monitor, offering flexible deployment options.

With a frequency response range from 50 Hz to 20,000 Hz and a maximum SPL of 130 dB, the ART 912-A delivers high-quality audio across the full spectrum, making it ideal for both high-output performances and high-fidelity playback. The DSP-controlled crossover, thermal protection, RMS protection, and soft limiter ensure reliable operation and protection from damage, while the CE compliance ensures the speaker meets the highest safety and performance standards.
