RCF ART 705-AS Active Sub-Woofer System, 800-W

Art Series
ART 705-AS Active Sub-Woofer System, 800-W

The RCF ART 705-AS active subwoofer integrates a high current 800-watt amplifier, a complete electronic processor section and RCF low-distortion, high-power woofer. The result is a compact, high-power system, unique in its class for output and low distortion. This new high power 15" woofer is the result of the latest refinement in years of RCF experience in compact active subwoofers design and manufacture, resulting in a fast and controlled reproduction of the bass frequency range. Features a three-inch inside/outside voice coil to minimize power compression extending the life of this product.

A two-step Class-H TAED amplifier design is used to power the system. This high current model provides the correct amount of deliverable power in conjunction with a massive transformer and a multiple bank of capacitors is able to achieve perfect control of the woofer mass at very high output levels. The input section presents mono/stereo combo XLR/Jack input connectors and XLR high pass output connectors. A recessed master volume, the phase switch and the selectable crossover frequency switch guarantee outstanding versatility. The processor section includes active system equalization, limiter and protection functions. The system is visually monitored from 4 status LEDs.

The Baltic birch plywood enclosure is painted with black, heavy-duty, textured epoxy. The front is protected from a strong, powder-coated, metal grille. The cabinet features two M10 threaded points for optional speaker kart, a 35 mm pole-mount socket, two ergonomic side handles.

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.

 Voice Coil

VOICE COIL

Power Compression is the neglected factor in many professional audio system designs. In woofers and subwoofers the power compression at maximum rated power can vary from 3–4 dB for good designs and up to 6–7 dB for poorly vented or small coil designs. This will affect not only the final achievable sound pressure level (SPL) but also the transducer Thiele-Small parameters, dramatically changing the high power curve response and sound characteristics.

For this reason all our woofer and subwoofer designs are equipped with large sized, properly vented inside/outside voice coils. This guarantees the long term reliability and life of the product.
Inside/Outside Voice Coils

INSIDE/OUTSIDE VOICE COILS

RCF has developed a unique voice coil, combining the advantages of inside/outside technology to the superior quality of polyimideimide materials (wire resins and former resins).

The inside/outside coil offers many advantages:
- the dissipation surface is doubled
- the adhesion area to the former is doubled
- during thermal expansion the former is squeezed between inside and outside layers offering the best mechanical resistance.

The former is made from polyimide – imide fibreglass and the area between the coil and the cone is a triple layer of nomex – fibreglass – nomex for maximum stiffness and accurate sound transfer.
