RCF ART 915-A - 2100W 15-inch Powered 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 100 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The RCF ART 915-A is a powerful, 2100W 15-inch powered 2-way portable loudspeaker that delivers exceptional sound performance for high-demand audio applications. With a combination of a 15" woofer, a 1.75" compression driver, and a two-channel 2100W amplifier, the ART 915-A is engineered to produce up to 131 dB SPL of distortion-free sound across a wide frequency range. The speaker's constant directivity True Resistive Waveguide ensures optimal sound coverage with 100° horizontal and 60° vertical dispersion, providing coherent sound throughout the listening area. Whether you're using it for large venues, live performances, or installed audio systems, the ART 915-A guarantees clarity, deep bass, and reliable performance in any environment.

The ART 915-A features RCF's most powerful amplifier in its class, the 2100W Class-D bi-amplification system, which is 50% more powerful than previous models. This powerful system efficiently manages extremely high sound pressure levels with ultra-fast attack and realistic transient response. The amplifier uses an energy-efficient design that eliminates the need for a cooling fan, relying instead on a solid aluminum heat exchanger that maintains low heat loss and ensures reliable, fan-less cooling. The amplifier is firmly attached to the internal frame of the speaker, providing both stability and efficient heat dissipation, ensuring it remains cool even under prolonged use.

The 15" woofer in the ART 915-A, featuring a 2.5" voice coil, delivers precise low-frequency control, providing deep, punchy bass with exceptional accuracy and clarity. The 1.75" compression driver with a 1.0" voice coil and titanium diaphragm ensures clear, high-frequency performance and exceptional vocal projection. These components work together seamlessly to provide a full-range audio experience that is powerful, precise, and detailed. The new True Resistive Waveguide (TRW) design, combined with RCF's FiRPHASE technology, further enhances the speaker's acoustic performance. The TRW minimizes high-frequency distortion typically found in classic horns, producing a resonance-free load that improves stereo panorama and sound imaging, providing a consistent listening experience across the entire venue.

One of the most innovative features of the ART 915-A is Bass Motion Control (BMC), which is an advanced woofer excursion management system. The BMC system allows the speaker to handle the lowest audible frequencies with exceptional linearity while maintaining woofer stability. By creating a dynamic map of the woofer's behavior, the BMC system uses a custom algorithm to limit over-excursions, ensuring better sound integrity without affecting the woofer's motion. This allows the speaker to produce deep, rich bass while avoiding the phase distortion that traditional high-pass filters typically introduce.

RCF's FiRPHASE technology ensures that the ART 915-A delivers transparent sound and perfect imaging with minimal latency. The special FiRPHASE filters allow for coherent sound distribution, eliminating phase distortions and ensuring that all listeners experience the same high-quality sound, regardless of their position in the venue. The advanced DSP processing further optimizes crossover, equalization, phase control, and soft limiting, ensuring that the speaker performs optimally at all times while protecting it from potential damage.

The ART 915-A's cabinet is constructed using RCF's special polypropylene composite material, which is designed to reduce vibrations and ensure the structural integrity of the speaker. The M-brace internal reinforcement connects the four sides of the cabinet and the amplifier, preventing deformation and ensuring added acoustic damping. This construction enhances the speaker's durability and ensures that it remains solid even at maximum volume levels. The speaker features a top handle and side handles for easy transport, and the 35mm pole mount insert allows for secure installation on a speaker stand or subwoofer. The rear of the cabinet can also be used as a floor monitor, providing versatility for various setups. Multiple rigging points allow the speaker to be flown or wall-mounted, making it suitable for a wide range of professional applications.

With a frequency response range from 45 Hz to 20,000 Hz and a maximum SPL of 131 dB, the ART 915-A is capable of delivering clear, full-range sound in large and demanding environments. The speaker's thermal and RMS protections, along with its soft limiter, ensure safe operation even at high output levels. The ART 915-A is CE compliant, meeting the highest standards for safety and performance, making it a reliable choice for professionals who require high-quality sound reinforcement.
