RCF introduces the ART 745-A, a 15” 2-way system that uses the new ND 940 compression driver. The HF’s 4.0” voice coil allows a crossover point of 650Hz and therefore almost all of the vocal range can be produced by this driver. This allows better impulse response, fast waterfall decay and superior efficiency. The amplifier presents both XLR/Jack (Combo) balanced inputs, XLR output link, volume and a switchable EQ Mode (Flat/Boost).
