Overview
The RCF ART 912-A is a 12 inch two way active speaker from RCF's ART 9 series. It pairs a 12 inch woofer with a compression driver on a 1.75 inch voice coil, driven by a two channel 2100 W peak Class-D amplifier, and reaches up to 130 dB maximum SPL.
RCF's True Resistive Waveguide gives a constant 100 x 60 degree pattern, and the onboard DSP runs FiRPHASE for flat phase across the crossover and Bass Motion Control to manage woofer excursion so the low end stays clean when it is pushed. The amplifier is convection cooled with no fan, which matters in quiet rooms. Front panel presets cover Linear, Boost and Stage (wedge) use.
The polypropylene composite cabinet has an internal M-brace, three handles, a 35 mm pole socket and M10 rigging points on the top and sides. That makes it a practical all rounder for churches, schools, function rooms, bands and hire stock, on a pole over a sub, on a wall bracket or as a wedge.

Forefront Tip
On a pole over a subwoofer, set the preset to Linear and let the sub handle the low end. If you are using a pair as wedges, use the Stage preset and lay them on their side so the 100 degree pattern covers the performer. For permanent installs, RCF's FL-BR, H-BR and V-BR ART 912 brackets and the CVR ART 912 cover are worth ordering at the same time.
