RCF ART 912-AX

Whilst the ART 912-AX has a great foundation in its powerful amplification, well-designed drivers, and excellent preamps, its Bluetooth connectivity adds another layer of functionality and convenience. Capable of streaming stereo audio across two channels, this PA speaker is great for playing music and backing tracks directly off your phone before shows. App control also via Bluetooth allows you to set up, mix, and adjust settings on the fly from anywhere in the venue too, directly from any iOS or Android device. Plus, convenient speaker pairing over Bluetooth with individual zone control and stereo configuration options adds even more options for building an entire sound system.

Innovative new DSP

The 912-AX features two proprietary DSP technologies, with RCF’s own take on linear phase FiR crossovers, FiRPHASE providing a smooth, unnoticeable crossover that maintains clarity and avoids phase distortion. On top of this, their Bass Motion Control technology helps to manage the movement of the low-frequency woofer, preventing distortion and phase smearing from overextension.
