    Powerful Class D Amplifiers

    RCF’s Class-D amplifier technology delivers massive performance with high efficiency in a lightweight solution. ART 7 amplifiers provide ultra-fast attack, realistic transient response, and impressive audio quality. The solid aluminum mechanical structure stabilizes the amplifier during transport and helps fan-less heat dissipation. All ART 7 amplifiers include an SMPS power supply section for maximum output with minimum weight.


    Superior Transducers

    Woofers and compression drivers are precision-built, leveraging RCF’s advanced technologies and extensive expertise to achieve the highest standards.


    Experience the Depths of Sound

    XBoost unlocks the hidden low frequencies within ART speakers. With a simple activation from the rear panel, you can immerse yourself in powerful, clear, and controlled bass. Whether you need subtle background sound or a rich, enhanced mix, XBoost delivers exceptional bass depth while maintaining clarity and keeping woofer excursion under control.


    Your Ideal Stage Partner

    ART 7 speakers are the perfect choice for musicians and sound providers. The cabinets are molded from a proprietary polypropylene composite, designed to eliminate vibrations even at the highest sound levels. This ensures outstanding reliability and durability under demanding stage conditions.
