RCF ART 500A

ART 500-A is the milestone in ART series evolution. The careful acoustic design, no compromise transducers and a unique, patent pending, composite cabinet make ART 500-A the preferred tool of many professionals. Perfect in live sound reinforcement and reliable installed situations

RCF ART 500-A is a 2-way active system offering substantial power for a variety of professional applications that include primary sound reinforcement and supplementary fill for larger systems. It integrates a high power amplifier, a complete electronic processor section and a premium RCF low distortion, high power transducer. The result is a compact, high power accurate system, unique in its class for clarity and low distortion.

The 15" woofer, thanks to its 3" edge wound aluminum coil and a massive magnetic structure, guarantee a fast and accurate midbass frequency range a powerful bass reproduction.

The compression driver uses a 2" titanium dome featuring a vented suspension and is powered from a massive high flux ceramic magnet and an edge wound 3" aluminum voice coil. This top class driver offers a high output, transparent midrange sound and clarity in high frequencies reproduction. The polynomial horn features a ring-mode suppression design to deliver controlled coverage at the highest sonic purity.

A 2 step class H Amplifier design is used to power the low frequencies and the compression driver amplifier is powerful and clear class AB design.

The input section offers an XLR input connector that is switchable from microphone to line levels. A master volume control and a useful XLR loop-through link guarantees the best versatility. The processor section includes active crossover, system equalization, transducer phase alignment, limiter and protection function.

All components are housed in a rigid polypropylene composite enclosure that is further reinforced with two internal 0.6" thick plywood panels. The woofer is protected from a powder coated, metal grill. The cabinet features four M10 threaded fly points, a 1.4" pole mount adaptor and two side handles. The box can be used in a vertical or horizontal configuration, so it's ideal as a main or monitor speaker.
