RCF P 5228-L - 500W Dual 8-inch Passive 2-Way IP55-Rated Installation Loudspeaker with 90 x 20-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The RCF P 5228-L is a high-performance, weatherproof, full-range two-way speaker designed for a variety of professional applications. This speaker is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, offering superior sound quality and durability. Whether used individually or in array configurations, the P 5228-L delivers exceptional audio clarity and powerful output, making it ideal for large venues, public spaces, stadiums, and other demanding applications. With a focus on creating controlled, consistent sound dispersion, the P 5228-L ensures that the audience enjoys clear, intelligible sound across wide areas without distortion or uneven coverage.

The P 5228-L features a dual 8" neodymium woofer with a 2.5" voice coil, providing impressive low-frequency performance. The high-frequency section is equipped with two 1.75" voice coil neodymium compression drivers, each mounted on constant directivity CMD horns. These horns ensure smooth, highly controlled coverage, and the speaker's design allows for a vertical coverage angle of 20° and horizontal coverage of 90°, making it perfect for environments where focused vertical sound control is crucial. The symmetrical arrangement of the transducers enhances horizontal dispersion, ensuring uniform sound distribution across large areas.

With a power handling capability of 500W RMS and a peak power capacity of 2000W, the P 5228-L is capable of delivering a maximum SPL of 131 dB at 1 meter. This makes it suitable for high-output applications where clear sound reproduction at high volumes is required. The system's sensitivity is 98 dB, allowing it to perform efficiently with minimal amplification. The speaker's crossover operates at 1300 Hz, ensuring optimal distribution of frequencies between the low and high-frequency sections, while the dynamic active MOSFET protection prevents damage to the compression drivers, ensuring long-lasting reliability.

Built for durability and performance in harsh conditions, the P 5228-L features a single-piece, low-density polyethylene (PE) rotomolded cabinet. This cabinet is fully UV-protected and meets IP55 standards for weatherproofing, ensuring that the speaker remains protected from dust, moisture, and the elements. It is also equipped with multiple brass inserts and a corrosion-resistant AISI 316L stainless steel U-bracket, making it easy to install securely in both permanent and temporary setups. The aluminum grille is powder-coated with a water-repellent backing material to provide additional protection while maintaining acoustic transparency. The front logo plate is rotatable, offering installation flexibility.

The P 5228-L uses an Amphenol eco/mat IP67 4-pole input connector for secure and watertight connections, ensuring reliable performance in even the harshest environments. The speaker also features a built-in 100V line transformer with selectable power options (120W, 60W, 30W), making it compatible with constant voltage systems commonly used in large-scale installations. This flexibility allows the P 5228-L to be seamlessly integrated into a wide variety of professional audio systems while maintaining consistent performance across different power configurations.

The RCF P 5228-L is the ideal solution for installations requiring high power, wide coverage, and durable construction. Whether used for permanent installations or temporary setups, this speaker offers clear, powerful sound in a compact and weatherproof design, making it perfect for a wide range of professional audio applications.
