RCF SUB 8006-AS - 5000W 2 x 18-inch Powered Subwoofer with 4-inch Voice Coils in Black Finish

The RCF SUB 8006-AS is the largest and most powerful active subwoofer in the RCF professional series, delivering an extraordinary low-frequency performance. Featuring two 18" transducers with advanced 4" inside/outside voice coils, this subwoofer is engineered to produce an immense amount of deep bass, perfect for large-scale sound reinforcement applications. Powered by a 2500W RMS, 5000W peak digital amplifier, the SUB 8006-AS excels in high-demand environments, offering the power and performance required for the most demanding live events, concerts, and installations.

At the heart of the SUB 8006-AS is RCF's Class-D amplifier technology, which provides high efficiency and impressive output while keeping the system lightweight. This technology ensures ultra-fast transient response, realistic sound reproduction, and minimal distortion. The amplifier's solid machined aluminum structure not only stabilizes the unit during transport but also enhances heat dissipation, operating without the need for a cooling fan. The amplifier is also equipped with a Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS), which delivers maximum output with minimal weight, ensuring the subwoofer's portability without sacrificing performance.

The SUB 8006-AS incorporates advanced transducer technology, including a neodymium magnetic circuit and a new voice coil ventilation system, which improves the overall efficiency and reliability of the subwoofer. RCF's commitment to using high-tech materials, such as carbon fiber, pure titanium, and Mylar hybrids, has resulted in a highly durable and efficient driver. With over 70 years of experience in professional audio design, RCF has pioneered many innovations in subwoofer technology, ensuring the SUB 8006-AS produces optimal low-frequency response with minimal distortion and a high SPL output.

The cabinet of the SUB 8006-AS is constructed from Baltic birch plywood and finished with a durable textured black coating, making it both robust and visually appealing. The subwoofer is designed for easy setup and teardown, thanks to ergonomic handles on all four sides. The M20 pole mount receptacle on top and side allows for multiple configuration options, enabling flexibility in its deployment. The heavy-duty, powder-coated steel front grille integrates a transparent-to-sound foam backing that helps protect the transducers from dust and debris, ensuring long-lasting reliability and performance.

The SUB 8006-AS features an advanced DSP-controlled input section with selectable presets to optimize the subwoofer for different environments. With delay control, phase switch, and deep/punch switch, users can customize the system's performance to meet specific requirements. The subwoofer also offers output delay settings and cardioid configuration for enhanced control over low-frequency coverage. With a frequency response of 30 Hz to 120 Hz, and a maximum SPL of 141 dB, the SUB 8006-AS delivers powerful, immersive bass that enhances the overall audio experience for large audiences.

Designed for use with RCF's HDL 20-A and other compatible systems, the SUB 8006-AS is a perfect complement to any professional sound reinforcement setup. Whether used in touring systems, concerts, or installations, it provides unparalleled low-frequency performance, making it the ideal choice for demanding sound engineers and event organizers.
