RCF ART 315-A Active, 2-Way Speaker System, 300-W Bi-Amplified, 15" Woofer

Art Series
ART 315-A Active, 2-Way Speaker System, 300-W Bi-Amplified, 15" Woofer

ART 315, ideal for live sound situations, offers the same careful acoustic design and innovative transducers used in the active series. Very good punch in bass reproduction and extremely accurate high frequencies, ART 315 is the perfect solution for playback and installation situations where an external amplifier is required.

RCF ART 315 is a wide dispersion, 2 way sound reinforcement speaker. It integrates a high power Phase correction and system protection passive crossover network and RCF low distortion, high-power transducers. The result is a compact, high-power accurate system, unique in its class for clarity and low distortion.

The new 15" inch woofer is the result of the latest refinement in years of RCF experience in compact 2way speaker manufacturing, resulting in an accurate reproduction of the midbass frequency range and a tight punchy bass.

The compression driver uses a new 1.5" titanium dome in front of a low compression, optimised geometry, and radial phase plug. This innovative design is powered from a high flux neodymium magnet and offers a very open and natural midrange sound and extreme precision in high frequency reproduction. The compression driver is protected by a fast dynamic electronic circuit.

All components are housed in a strong, lightweight, polypropylene composite enclosure.

The cabinet features four M10 threaded fly points, a 35 mm pole mount adaptor two side handles and an ergonomic top handle.

Technologies Inside

TAED Amplifier Technology

TAED AMPLIFIER TECHNOLOGY

RCF True Active Extended Dynamic amplifier technology is a result of nearly ten years at the forefront of active speaker design and manufacture. The result is the perfect match of amplifier to transducer, RCF is able to achieve this because quite simply they design and manufacture directly ALL the ingredients. If you are able to increase the effective dynamic range of a loudspeaker system this will immediately provide improved sonic accuracy, voice clarity, depth and resolution of the audio signals.

The new generation of active amplifier modules are designed with a new ‘’Double Wave’’ Limiting System that apart from giving improved transducer protection - guarantees the full use of the true dynamic range of the power amplifier. This in turn dramatically reduces distortion levels.

 Neodymium Magnets

NEODYMIUM MAGNETS

RCF Precision Compression Drivers and Woofers come equipped with high thermal performance with high performance lightweight Neodymium magnets, offering advantages in system portability and high frequency clarity (due to the force of magnetic flux in the gap exceeding 2 kilogauss).

Specific attention has been paid to magnetic circuit polarisation for optimum thermal immunity.
Pure Titanium Diaphragm

PURE TITANIUM DIAPHRAGM

RCF has developed an oxygen free process of moulding pure titanium ultra thin films in high quality, finely controlled shaped diaphragms.

The RCF process offers superior sonic quality, extended to the highest audible frequencies which guarantee consistent power handling and reliability.
