PROFESSIONAL SOUND

STARTS HERE

ART 8 is a new generation of portable active speakers designed for users who need great sound without complexity. Professional sound should not feel overly complicated.

Whether it is your first serious PA, a compact DJ system, a live music setup, ART 8 delivers flexibility and power with the quality expected from RCF: clear sound, solid output, rugged construction, and simplified controls.

Powerful Class D Amplifiers

Die 2100 W und 3500 W Class-D-Endstufen der neuen Generation bieten bis zu 2,5 x mehr Leistung als die vorherige Architektur und liefern extrem hohe Schalldruckpegel mit ultraschnellem Attack, realistischer Transientenwiedergabe und minimaler Wärmeentwicklung.

RCF Transducer Technology

RCF transducers are engineered for clarity, power handling, and long-term reliability. ART 8 combines clean high-frequency detail, strong vocal projection, and solid low-frequency response with controlled distortion. The True Resistive Waveguide reduces high-frequency distortion and shapes constant directivity across the listening area, improving coverage and stereo image.

Tieftöner

Das spezielle Tieftönerdesign sorgt dafür, dass das System bei hoher Auslastung stabiler läuft, weniger verzerrt und nicht so schnell überhitzt. RCF nimmt die Qualitätskontrolle sehr ernst. Unsere Tieftöner werden über 200 Stunden mithilfe eines kontinuierlichen Signals geprüft, um die Schallwandler intensiv mit hohen Pegeln zu belasten. Denn nur der beste Tieftöner ist gut genug für ART 8.

POLYIMIDE-KAPTON®-KALOTTE

10x widerstandsfähiger

Kapton® bewahrt seine einzigartige Kombination mechanischer Eigenschaften auch unter anspruchsvollsten Bedingungen

High Frequencies

The new 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.

True Resistive Waveguide

The True Resistive Waveguide integrates waveguide geometry, vented port placement, and FiRPHASE processing, enabling the speaker to function as a single, coherent source. Engineered for consistent performance, TRW delivers constant directivity across the listening area, improving coverage and stereo imaging.

Reinforced Composite Enclosure

ART 8 is built into a lightweight composite enclosure, engineered with internal M-brace reinforcement for high structural strength and reduced resonance. This durable yet portable design is ideal for demanding road use and secure fixed installations. The heavy-duty steel grille provides robust protection for both the transducers and the vented ports, ensuring long-term reliability in any environment.

Subwoofer pairing with ACE Presets

ART 8 can be used alone or with RCF subwoofers for greater low-frequency extension and impact. ACE-enabled subwoofer models (starting from the SUB AX Series) include dedicated presets for optimized, one-touch tuning. RCF's Advanced Crossover Engine (ACE) precisely adjusts time delay and phase to optimize the system's power and impact.

Size Them Up

Low-Frequency Enhancer

XBOOST adds extra depth and impact to the low-frequency response when more bass presence is needed. It can be activated directly from the rear panel, giving users a fast way to adapt the speaker to the performance, the room, or the listening level. For setups without a subwoofer, XBOOST helps create a fuller sound while keeping the overall response controlled and balanced.

A 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.
