RCF ART 935-A - 2100W 15-inch Powered 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 100 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The RCF ART 935-A is a top-tier, 2100W powered 2-way loudspeaker, expertly designed for high-output applications where exceptional sound performance, power, and versatility are crucial. With a combination of a 15" woofer, a 3" titanium/neodymium compression driver, and a two-channel 2100W amplifier, the ART 935-A delivers a remarkable 133 dB SPL with distortion-free clarity, making it an ideal choice for both live sound reinforcement and installed audio systems. It features an advanced True Resistive Waveguide (TRW) and proprietary DSP technologies that provide coherent 100° horizontal and 60° vertical coverage, ensuring uniform sound dispersion across the entire listening area.

At the heart of the ART 935-A is RCF's powerful 2100W Class-D bi-amplification system, delivering peak power with 1400W dedicated to low frequencies and 700W for high frequencies. This setup enables the speaker to handle extremely high sound pressure levels with precision and minimal distortion. The amplifier is highly energy-efficient, utilizing a solid aluminum heat exchanger that dissipates heat without requiring a cooling fan. This fan-less design ensures long-term reliability and reduces the need for moving parts, resulting in enhanced durability and quieter operation. The amplifier is physically mounted to the internal frame, ensuring stability and optimal thermal management.

The 15" woofer, with a 3.0" voice coil, provides controlled low-frequency output, delivering deep, punchy bass with remarkable precision. The 3" titanium/neodymium compression driver, with a 1.4" voice coil, ensures high-frequency clarity and vocal projection, while maintaining excellent detail and presence even at high output levels. The ART 935-A also incorporates Bass Motion Control (BMC), a next-generation woofer excursion management system. This technology allows the speaker to handle the lowest audible frequencies with greater linearity, stability, and improved sound integrity, preventing over-excursions and distortion while preserving the full dynamics of the audio signal.

The ART 935-A's True Resistive Waveguide (TRW) is a key feature that sets it apart from other speakers. TRW technology, developed through extensive research and testing in RCF's anechoic chambers, eliminates high-frequency distortion and mimics a resonance-free, pure resistive load. This provides a smooth, consistent sound across the frequency range while improving stereo panorama and ensuring precise sound imaging. The asymmetrical design of the waveguide ensures constant directivity, offering even coverage across the listening area and reducing the typical distortion seen in conventional horn designs. This refinement, combined with FiRPHASE technology, ensures that the ART 935-A acts as a single, ideal source for delivering high-quality, immersive sound.

RCF's FiRPHASE technology is also integrated into the ART 935-A, ensuring transparent sound reproduction with minimal latency and perfect imaging. The proprietary FiR filters guarantee coherent sound distribution across the listening area, maintaining phase integrity and delivering an exceptional listening experience without phase distortions. The advanced DSP processing optimizes crossover, equalization, phase control, and soft limiting to ensure the speaker performs at its best while protecting it from damage during high-output use.

The ART 935-A is built for both durability and convenience. Its cabinet is made from a special polypropylene composite material, designed to reduce vibrations and ensure structural integrity, even at maximum volume levels. The M-brace internal reinforcement structure increases acoustical damping, preventing deformation and ensuring the speaker's performance is consistent and stable. The speaker is equipped with top and side handles for easy transport, and the 35mm pole mount insert allows for simple installation on speaker stands or subwoofers. The speaker can also be flown or wall-mounted using the provided rigging points, offering a wide range of deployment options for various applications.

With a frequency response range from 45 Hz to 20,000 Hz and a maximum SPL of 133 dB, the ART 935-A is capable of delivering clear, full-range sound in both small and large venues. The speaker is equipped with thermal and RMS protection, as well as a soft limiter to ensure safe operation at high volumes. CE compliant, the ART 935-A meets the highest standards for safety and performance, making it a trusted choice for professionals in live sound, installations, and audio production environments.
