RCF ART 712-A MK5 Digital Active Speaker System, 12-inch Woofer, 1.75-inch Compression Driver, 700W RMS

The RCF ART 712-A MK5 is a professional-grade digital active speaker system designed for demanding live sound applications. As part of RCF's fifth-generation ART series, this speaker combines robust power handling with advanced digital signal processing to deliver clear, reliable audio reinforcement for various performance environments. Its active design means both amplification and processing are built directly into the cabinet, simplifying setup and ensuring optimal performance from the integrated components. Key features include a 12-inch neodymium woofer paired with a 1.75-inch titanium compression driver, together capable of producing a maximum sound pressure level of 129dB. The system delivers 700W of continuous RMS power, with a peak handling of 1400W. A significant update in this MK5 version is the inclusion of RCF's XBoost algorithm, which can be engaged via a rear-panel switch to enhance low-frequency depth and richness. The speaker also incorporates newly tuned DSP presets and features Kapton diaphragms in the compression drivers for improved thermal resistance, strength, and audio definition. Connectivity is provided via balanced XLR and 1/4-inch TRS input jacks, with a through-output XLR for daisy-chaining additional speakers. This speaker is well-suited for musicians, DJs, and sound engineers requiring a versatile and powerful cabinet for front-of-house use, stage monitoring, or mobile DJ setups. Its 90-degree horizontal and 70-degree vertical dispersion pattern provides good coverage for audiences. The convection cooling system and comprehensive protections, including thermal and RMS limiters, ensure reliable operation during extended use. With dimensions of 637mm x 387mm x 363mm and a weight of 17.8kg, it offers a balance of output capability and relative portability for a speaker in its class.
