RCF Compact A 12 - 400W 12-inch Passive 2-Way Installation Loudspeaker with 100 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The RCF Compact A 12 is a versatile, high-performance passive two-way loudspeaker designed for a wide range of applications, including live sound reinforcement, stage monitoring, and distributed sound systems in venues such as clubs, restaurants, retail spaces, and corporate environments. With its combination of a 12" high-power woofer and a 1.75" compression driver, the Compact A 12 delivers clear, powerful sound with an impressive frequency response range from 55 Hz to 20,000 Hz, making it ideal for both foreground and background music in various environments.

At the heart of the Compact A 12 is RCF's innovative True Resistive Waveguide (TRW) technology, which provides consistent and coherent sound coverage with a horizontal coverage angle of 100° and a vertical coverage angle of 60°. This constant directivity waveguide ensures that sound is evenly distributed across the listening area, reducing distortion and providing a more natural sound. The TRW technology also improves stereo panorama and enhances clarity, making it ideal for high-quality audio in a variety of settings. The 1.75" compression driver features a Polyimide-Kapton dome and reinforced ribs, making it 10 times more durable than previous designs. The redesigned phase plug enhances transient response and improves coupling with the low-frequency transducer, resulting in better sound clarity across the full frequency spectrum.

The Compact A 12 is housed in a robust polypropylene composite cabinet that is reinforced with RCF's M-brace internal design. This structure reduces cabinet deformation, ensuring a completely inert body and augmented acoustical damping even at high volumes. The cabinet is also lightweight, with ergonomic handles on the top and sides for easy transport. The speaker can be mounted on a pole, wall-mounted, or flown using the multiple M10 rigging points, making it a highly adaptable solution for both portable and installed applications. A steel front grille protects the transducers and ensures durability, while a transparent-to-sound foam backing further protects the drivers from dust and debris.

Designed to handle up to 400W of continuous power and 1600W peak power, the Compact A 12 is capable of delivering up to 129 dB of sound pressure level, providing powerful output for medium to large venues. The speaker features Dynamic Active Mosfet protection to ensure reliability and longevity, and its internal crossover is set at 1200 Hz to provide clear and accurate vocal reproduction. The Compact A 12 is an excellent choice for both music and speech applications, offering superb clarity and performance in a compact, easy-to-use design.

With its robust construction, superior sound quality, and flexible mounting options, the RCF Compact A 12 is the ideal solution for professional audio applications where high performance, durability, and ease of use are essential.
