The RCF ART 945-A is a powerful 2100W, 15-inch powered 2-way portable loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional audio performance in demanding environments. Featuring a 15" woofer, a 4" titanium/neodymium compression driver, and a two-channel 2100W Class-D amplifier, this speaker is engineered to provide a maximum SPL of 135 dB, making it ideal for large-scale sound reinforcement and high-output applications. With its constant directivity True Resistive Waveguide (TRW) and advanced DSP processing, the ART 945-A ensures clear, distortion-free sound and uniform coverage across the entire listening area. Whether used for live performances, events, or installations, the ART 945-A excels at delivering both powerful low frequencies and crisp high frequencies with remarkable precision.
The ART 945-A incorporates RCF's most powerful amplifier to date, with 2100W peak power and 1400W for low frequencies and 700W for high frequencies. This bi-amplification system allows the speaker to handle extremely high sound pressure levels with an ultra-fast attack, realistic transient response, and low heat loss. The amplifier operates with impressive energy efficiency, eliminating the need for a cooling fan. Instead, it is attached to a solid aluminum heat exchanger at the back of the unit, which ensures optimal cooling without the need for moving parts, enhancing reliability and reducing noise. The amplifier is firmly connected to the speaker's internal frame for added stability during use, and the advanced input circuit features a low distortion design with an integrated safety limiter to preserve the integrity of the input signal at all times.
The 15" woofer in the ART 945-A features a 3.5" voice coil, providing deep, controlled bass and exceptional low-frequency performance. The 4" titanium/neodymium compression driver, with a 1.4" voice coil, ensures that high frequencies are delivered with crystal-clear clarity and excellent vocal projection, even at high volumes. Together, these components provide a balanced, full-range audio experience that is ideal for both high-output and high-fidelity applications. The Bass Motion Control (BMC) technology is another breakthrough in the ART 945-A, enabling the speaker to handle the lowest audible frequencies with better sound integrity and woofer stability. The BMC system creates a dynamic map of the woofer's behavior, generating a custom algorithm that limits over-excursions without altering the signal reproduction, resulting in deep bass without distortion.
RCF's innovative True Resistive Waveguide (TRW) technology is designed to reduce high-frequency distortion and improve stereo imaging. Through careful refinement of the transducer and port design, the TRW provides constant directivity, ensuring that sound is evenly distributed across the listening area. The waveguide mimics a resonance-free, pure resistive load, reducing typical horn distortion and offering an improved sound image. This, combined with RCF's FiRPHASE technology, ensures that the ART 945-A acts as a single ideal sound source, delivering a coherent and immersive listening experience with accurate imaging and minimal latency. The ART 945-A's advanced DSP processing optimizes crossover, equalization, phase control, and soft limiting, maximizing performance while protecting the speaker from potential damage during high-output use.
Designed for durability and convenience, the ART 945-A features a rugged polypropylene composite cabinet that reduces vibrations and ensures the speaker remains solid and stable, even under high pressure levels. The M-brace internal reinforcement structure enhances the acoustical damping and prevents any deformation of the cabinet, ensuring consistent performance even at maximum volume. The steel grille protects both the transducers and the vented ports, offering added durability. The speaker is designed for easy transport and setup, with handles on the top and sides for convenience, and a 35mm pole mount insert for secure mounting on speaker stands or subwoofers. It can also be flown or wall-mounted using the provided rigging points, offering flexibility for various applications. Additionally, the rear of the cabinet can be used as a floor monitor, making the ART 945-A suitable for a variety of deployment options.
With a frequency response range from 45 Hz to 20,000 Hz and a maximum SPL of 135 dB, the ART 945-A delivers excellent full-range sound reproduction, making it suitable for large venues and outdoor events. The speaker's thermal and RMS protections, along with a soft limiter, ensure safe operation, while its CE compliance guarantees it meets the highest standards for safety and performance. The ART 945-A is the perfect solution for professionals who demand high-quality, high-output sound reinforcement in any environment.
