RCF S 12 - 400W 12-inch Passive Bass Reflex Subwoofer with 2.5-inch Voice Coil in Black Finish

The RCF S 12 is a high-performance, compact passive bass reflex subwoofer designed for installations where the impact of a 12-inch driver and extended low-frequency response are required, but space is limited. Offering 400W RMS power handling and a peak power capacity of 1600W, the S 12 delivers impressive output levels, reaching a maximum SPL of 125 dB at 1 meter. This subwoofer is engineered to produce deep, controlled bass, extending the frequency range below 40 Hz, making it ideal for a variety of applications from background music playback in clubs, bars, and cafes to more demanding environments like theaters and AV presentations. The 12" woofer, equipped with a 2.5" voice coil, is designed for fast and accurate bass reproduction, ensuring precise low-end performance that enhances the overall sound experience.

The S 12's woofer design incorporates RCF's latest advancements in compact subwoofer technology. Despite its small size, it is capable of producing output levels typically associated with much larger enclosures. The subwoofer's high efficiency ensures that it can deliver powerful bass without the need for oversized cabinets. This makes the S 12 an ideal choice for sound engineers who require a subwoofer with a small footprint but exceptional performance. The result is an engaging and immersive audio experience, where music and sound effects come to life with clarity and impact, whether in a restaurant, retail space, or a more dynamic venue such as a club or corporate event.

The cabinet is constructed from high-quality plywood, which ensures durability while minimizing resonance for superior acoustic performance. The sleek design is complemented by a steel front grille with an acoustic cloth backing, offering protection for the internal components without compromising sound quality. The subwoofer also features an M20 threaded pole mount at the top, allowing for easy integration with speaker stands or other mounting solutions. This makes the S 12 a versatile option for various installations, whether used in standalone setups or as part of a larger sound system in arrays or stacked configurations.

For flexible installation, the S 12 is equipped with a 4-pole Euroblock connector for audio input and parallel link output, enabling easy chaining of multiple units. This provides the scalability needed to meet the specific requirements of larger setups or more complex audio environments. The recommended amplifiers for the S 12 include the DMA 162, DMA 162P, DMA 504, IPS 1.5K, IPS 2.5K, and QPS 6.0K, offering a range of options to match the subwoofer's power handling capabilities. The subwoofer's frequency response, spanning from 40 Hz to 200 Hz, ensures that it integrates seamlessly with full-range speaker systems, providing clean, powerful bass that enhances the clarity and presence of the entire audio spectrum.
