Powerful Class D Amplifiers
RCF’s Class-D power amplifier technology packs huge performance operating with high efficiency into a lightweight solution. ART 7 amplifiers deliver ultra-fast attack, realistic transient response and impressive audio performance. The amplifier features a solid mechanical aluminium structure which not only stabilises the amplifier during transportation but also helps the fan-less heat dissipation. All the ART 7 amplifiers present SMPS power supply section in order to produce maximum output and minimum transportation weight.

Superior Transducers
Lightweight and powerful, RCF drivers are a true reference for high performance. All transducers are designed by RCF engineers in Italy for maximum reliability and perfectly matched components.

High Frequencies
The new 1.75" compression driver voice-coil design with Polyimide-Kapton dome features a new bonding technology and reinforced ribs making it 10 times more durable than previous designs. The redesigned phase plug increases sound clarity, enhancing transient response and improving coupling with the low-frequency transducer.

Low Frequencies
Low-frequency transducer design gains more stability over higher currents, with less distortion, and is highly efficient in terms of heat dissipation. RCF quality control is very strict. Our woofers are tested with a 200 hours continuous signal to stress the transducer at extreme levels. Only the best woofer design can fit ART 7.

Experience The Depths of Sound
XBoost unlocks the profound low frequencies concealed within ART speakers. With a simple activation from the speaker’s rear panel, immerse yourself in a rich tapestry of bass that pounds with exceptional clarity and control. Whether you’re seeking subtle background music or an enriched sonic experience for your mix, XBoost delivers an astonishing perception of deepened bass, ensuring that every note retains its pristine essence and keeping the woofer excursion under control.

Your Ideal Stage Partner
The ART 7 speakers are the perfect choice for musicians and sound provider alike. Their cabinets are molded from a proprietary polypropylene composite engineered to quell vibrations, even at the highest volume levels. This translates to exceptional reliability and resilience under rigourous stage conditions.

New perspective on linearity
RCF speakers are designed using a proprietary and advanced digital FiR technology, conceived to deliver transparent sound, absolute clarity, and perfect imaging to the listener. The special FiRPHASE filters allow for coherent distribution of sound for all listeners without phase distortions, ensuring minimum latencies in the system.

Bring ART With You
The sturdy, ergonomic cabinet is easy to carry, thanks to either the handle at the top or the practical handles on both sides. The base of each speaker includes a steel pole socket for mounting on a stand or on a subwoofer pole. Stability and safety are assured. The rear of the cabinet is shaped to also be used as a floor monitor. Internal reinforcement prevents any deformation of the cabinet.
