RCF P 4228 - 400W Dual 8-inch Passive 2-Way IP55-Rated Installation Loudspeaker with 110 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The RCF P 4228 is a high-performance, weatherproof full-range 2-way loudspeaker designed for demanding professional audio applications, both indoors and outdoors. This compact yet powerful speaker is ideal for large spaces, such as stadiums, parks, public venues, and auditoriums, where superior sound quality and wide coverage are essential. With a frequency range from 80 Hz to 20,000 Hz, the P 4228 delivers high-output performance, ensuring clear and intelligible sound across a broad area. The robust design meets IP55 standards, making it ideal for environments exposed to dust, water, and harsh weather conditions.

At the core of the P 4228 is a dual 8" neodymium woofer with a 2.5" voice coil. This low-frequency section is complemented by a 2.5" voice coil neodymium compression driver, which provides high-frequency clarity and precision. The compression driver is loaded onto an advanced constant directivity CMD (Coaxial Midrange Driver) horn, which ensures smooth, wide sound dispersion across both the vertical and horizontal planes. The symmetrical arrangement of the transducers enables controlled horizontal dispersion, ensuring consistent and even coverage across the listening area. With a horizontal coverage angle of 110° and a vertical coverage angle of 60°, the P 4228 is perfect for applications that require wide, even sound distribution, minimizing hot spots and improving overall sound intelligibility.

The P 4228 is capable of handling up to 400W RMS of continuous power, with a peak power handling of 1600W, and is capable of delivering a maximum SPL of 129 dB at 1 meter. The speaker's system sensitivity is 97 dB, ensuring excellent sound output with minimal amplification. The internal circuitry includes a high-level LICC crossover, operating at 1100 Hz, and dynamic active MOSFET protection, which protects the compression driver from over-driving, ensuring longevity and reliable performance. The advanced crossover design reduces phase shift, improves transient response, and minimizes delay, ensuring superior audio performance with clear, precise sound.

Built for durability, the P 4228 features a single-piece, low-density polyethylene (PE) rotomolded cabinet that is UV-protected, ensuring resistance to sunlight, moisture, and other environmental stressors. The cabinet meets IP55 standards for dust and water resistance, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. The speaker includes 4 M8 brass inserts for secure and flexible mounting, along with a corrosion-resistant AISI 316L stainless steel U-bracket, ensuring that the speaker is stable and secure during installation. The aluminum grille is powder-coated with a water-repellent backing material, offering additional protection while maintaining excellent acoustical transparency. The front logo plate is rotatable, providing flexibility in installation orientation.

The P 4228 is equipped with an Amphenol eco/mat IP67 4-pole connector for secure and reliable connections, even in wet conditions. It also features a built-in 100V line transformer with selectable power options (120W, 60W, 30W), making it suitable for use in constant voltage applications. This flexibility allows for seamless integration into professional audio systems that require 100V line operation, while ensuring consistent performance across different installation environments.

The P 4228 offers a combination of high power handling, excellent sound dispersion, durable weather-resistant construction, and versatile installation options, making it the ideal choice for professional sound systems in a wide range of indoor and outdoor settings.
