THE PHILOSOPHY OF ART
ART was originally conceived way back in 1996. The brief was a tough one. To create perfect sound. Moreover,
the speaker enclosures were to be portable, lightweight and strong enough to withstand every day use. The brief
remains the same but with even more exacting challenges. Portable and even lighter in weight systems were a
must, plus the demands from Musicians for improved vocal clarity and definition.
To achieve this RCF has taken the numerous new technological advances in our own transducer developments
along with designing new digital amplifier technology. Our new RCF Precision Series of light in weight Neodymium
woofers and compression drivers provide this goal.
THE ART SERIES
The new ART SERIES is a range of professional active speaker systems that combines high power and wide
bandwidth in a light weight enclosure.
COMPONENTS
The woofers used in the new Art Series can withstand peak power of up to 6 times the nominal power. These mid
bass woofers have been designed for superior reproduction of acoustic signals up to the crossover frequency.
Specific attention has been applied to the speaker cones, all are optimized for shape and pulp composition.
Our edgewound copper clad aluminium voice coils provide maximum efficiency and high speed for accurate
transient response. ‘’Inside /Outside ’’copper clad aluminium voice coils provide maximum reliability. Our massive
magnets offer superior bass control and mid-bass voice presence.
Our state of the art compression drivers are made from neodymium magnetic circuit technology, reaching levels
that exceed 2 Kilogauss in the gap. Thanks to RCF’s “pure titanium” diaphragms and proprietary high pressure
oxygen free moulding technology, we are able to reproduce transparent and accurate high frequencies true in all
the audible range.
AMPLIFIERS
The ART 522-a and ART 525-A models are designed using the newly created Digital Amplifier Technology. Based
around 500 watt low and 250 watt high Bi- Amplified modules, each amplifier has a specific input board and is set-
up to optimise the performance in conjunction to the specific transducers in each model. Each amplifier will give
you volume control, combo jack-XLR balanced inputs and XLR Output link.
CABINETS
Art’s polynomial constant directivity horn has virtually the same physical area as a 15” woofer. This means that the
driver is perceived to achieve the same output power as the low section with minimum diaphragm excursion,
resulting in a well defined, natural and open sound.
The shape of the horn is a unique design able to provide exceptional constant directivity with both the 1” and 2”
compression drivers.
Art’s bass reflex cabinet is moulded in a special polypropylene composite material
resulting from years of experience in plastic cabinet designs, which provide superior stiffness for the weight and
excellent low frequency damping.
Each cabinet is equipped with ergonomically designed handles on each side and a comfortable top handle for easy
manoeuvrability in every situation. Four M10 threaded inserts are provided for optional mounting hardware in
Installed Sound Applications.
