RCF has released the ART 8 Series, a new line of portable active loudspeakers launching exclusively in the Americas.
ART 8 is designed for musicians, DJs, rental companies, venues, houses of worship and event professionals who require clear sound, high output and rapid deployment in a compact, accessible system.
Available with 10-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch woofers, each model features high-grade transducers, True Resistive Waveguide technology, 1.4kW Class-D amplification and advanced DSP. FiRPhase processing ensures coherent-source behavior with 0° linear phase, enhancing imaging and vocal clarity. XBoost provides additional low-frequency depth when needed, activated directly from the rear panel.
In line with the ART point-source loudspeakers’ flexibility, ACE-enabled subwoofer models include integration presets for ART 8, enabling quick system tuning from the subwoofer interface. Starting with the Sub AX Series, RCF’s Advanced Crossover Engine (ACE) precisely adjusts time delay and phase to optimise system alignment, power and LF impact.
ART 8 enclosures are based on the proven ART 9 Series design, featuring reinforced composite construction, M-Brace internal bracing, a steel grille, ergonomic handles, a 35 mm pole socket and M10 rigging points. ART 8 models function as main PA, fill or stage monitors.
‘Our ART 8 line is built to perform, easy to set up, and versatile enough for any gig, all with the sound quality and design RCF is known for,’ says Vice President of Strategic Sales Accounts & Operations, RCF USA, Justin Brock. ‘ART 9 active loudspeakers didn’t just enter the professional market; they became the standard. Performance, reliability and exceptional sound, all in one. With ART 8, we’re bringing RCF to more users, and we’re very excited about its potential in the US.’
