RCF Compact 45 WP - 2800W 15-inch Passive 2-Way IP33-Rated Point Source Loudspeaker with 100 x 50-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The RCF Compact 45 WP is a high-performance, 2800W passive 2-way point source loudspeaker, designed to deliver powerful and accurate sound across a wide frequency range of 48 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Equipped with a 15-inch high-power neodymium woofer and a 4-inch voice coil neodymium compression driver, the Compact 45 WP offers impressive clarity and output. The speaker features a 100° x 50° constant directivity waveguide that ensures optimal coverage for near and mid-distance applications, whether used as a stand-alone speaker or in a larger system. With a maximum SPL of 138 dB, it is perfectly suited for sound reinforcement in a variety of professional environments.

Built for both indoor and outdoor applications, the Compact 45 WP is housed in a durable birch plywood cabinet, treated with a textured polyurea coating for enhanced scratch resistance and longevity. The robust construction is complemented by a steel grille with water-repellent protection and an acoustically transparent foam backing, ensuring that the speaker's components remain protected from dust and humidity, even in harsh environments. The speaker is IP33-rated, making it suitable for outdoor use, while the multiple installation points on the top, bottom, rear, and side panels offer flexibility in mounting, whether flown, wall-mounted, or pole-mounted.

RCF's advanced design features ensure that the Compact 45 WP delivers exceptional sound quality. The compression driver's 4-inch voice coil and titanium dome allow for high power handling and exceptional durability, resulting in a clear and natural sound, especially in midrange frequencies. The low-frequency transducer design enhances stability during high current use, reducing distortion and improving efficiency for better heat dissipation. The internal crossover frequency is set at 1100 Hz, providing clear, accurate vocal reproduction, and is protected by RCF's Dynamic Active Mosfet circuitry, ensuring long-term performance.

Equipped with RDNet network management, the Compact 45 WP offers remote monitoring and precise tuning of the speaker's sound through adjustable EQ, delay, and cardioid options. RDNet allows sound engineers to create and recall tailored crossover presets, making integration with other RCF systems seamless. Whether used for live events, installations, or as part of a larger array, the Compact 45 WP delivers outstanding performance with precision and clarity.
