RCF HL 2240 - 1500W 2 x 12-inch Passive 2-Way IP55-Rated Installation Speaker with 40 x 22.5-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The RCF HL 2240 is a high-performance, horn-loaded two-way bi-amped array system designed for mid-distance and long-throw applications. This powerful speaker system incorporates dual 12-inch woofers and a 4.0-inch voice coil titanium compression driver to deliver exceptional sound reproduction with high output and clarity. It is ideally suited for a variety of demanding environments where high sound pressure levels and precise sound coverage are critical. With an impressive 1500W system power handling (RMS) and a peak SPL of 141 dB at 1 meter, the HL 2240 ensures robust, reliable performance even in large venues.

Designed with advanced RCF precision transducers, the HL 2240 offers a frequency response of 60 Hz to 20,000 Hz, covering a broad spectrum of sound. The constant directivity horn design, with a 40° horizontal and 22.5° vertical coverage, ensures consistent and even sound dispersion, making it perfect for both point-source configurations and longer throw applications when clustered with other units. The system's trapezoidal enclosure design allows for optimal coupling with other speakers, while its unique rigging mechanics provide flexible, safe, and secure array configurations for large-scale installations.

The robust construction of the HL 2240 ensures durability and longevity, even in challenging environments. The cabinet is made of Baltic birch marine plywood, known for its strength and resilience, and is finished with a textured polyurea black paint, providing both weather resistance and aesthetic appeal. The speaker is protected by an IP55 rating, ensuring it remains resistant to dust and water, making it ideal for outdoor installations. The custom perforated steel grille is epoxy-coated and features an open-cell fiber with water-repellent woven fabric backing, further enhancing the durability of the system. Connections are made via a watertight Amphenol multi-pole connector, ensuring reliable and secure signal transmission even in demanding conditions.

The bi-amp configuration of the HL 2240 separates the low and high frequencies to optimize performance. The system features a low-frequency power handling of 1350W RMS with a peak power of 5400W, while the high-frequency driver is rated for 150W RMS and 600W peak power handling. The high sensitivity of both the LF (104 dB) and HF (113 dB) drivers ensures efficient sound reproduction, even at high output levels. The recommended amplifiers for the HL 2240 include the RCF XPS, QPS, and IPS series, all of which are designed to complement the system's powerful performance and reliability.
