Powerful Class-D Amplifiers

RCF's Class-D power amplifier technology packs huge performance�operating with high efficiency�into a lightweight solution. ART 7 amplifiers deliver ultrafast attack, realistic transient response, and impressive audio performance. The amplifier features a solid mechanical aluminum structure, which not only stabilizes the amplifier during transportation but also helps dissipate heat without a fan.

Superior Transducers

High Frequencies

• The latest 1.75" compression driver voice-coil design with Polyimide-Kapton dome features a new bonding technology and reinforced ribs, making it 10 times more durable than previous designs. The redesigned phase plug increases sound clarity, enhancing transient response and improving coupling with the low-frequency transducer.

Low Frequencies

• Low-frequency transducer design gains more stability over higher currents, produces less distortion, and dissipates heat efficiently. RCF quality control is very strict. Its woofers are tested for 200 hours with a continuous signal to stress the transducer at extreme levels. Only the best woofer design can fit ART 7.

X Boost-Experience the Depths of Sound

XBoost unlocks the profound low frequencies concealed within ART speakers. With a simple activation from the speaker's rear panel, immerse yourself in a rich tapestry of bass that pounds with exceptional clarity and control. Whether you're seeking subtle background music or an enriched sonic experience for your mix, XBoost delivers an astonishing perception of deepened bass, ensuring that every note retains its pristine essence, keeping the woofer excursion under control.

Ideal Stage Partner

The ART 7 speakers are the perfect choice for musicians and sound providers alike. The speaker cabinets are molded from proprietary polypropylene composite engineered to quell vibrations, even at the highest volume levels. This translates to exceptional reliability and resilience under rigorous stage conditions.

New Perspective on Linearity

RCF speakers are designed using a proprietary and advanced digital FiR technology, conceived to deliver transparent sound, absolute clarity, and perfect imaging to the listener. The special FiRPHASE filters allow for coherent distribution of sound for all listeners without phase distortions, ensuring minimum latencies in the system.

Bring ART with You

The sturdy, ergonomic cabinet is easy to carry, thanks to either the handle at the top or the practical handles on both sides. The base of each speaker includes a steel pole socket for mounting on a stand or on a subwoofer pole. Stability and safety are assured. The rear of the cabinet is shaped to also be used as a floor monitor. Internal reinforcement prevents any deformation of the cabinet.
