Overview
The RCF ART 935-A is a 15 inch two way active speaker from the ART 9 series. It combines a 15 inch woofer on a 3 inch voice coil with a titanium diaphragm neodymium compression driver on a 3 inch voice coil, crossing over at 800 Hz, for strong low end and clear vocals from a single box. Maximum SPL is 133 dB and response extends down to 45 Hz.
A two channel 2100 W peak Class-D amplifier drives it, convection cooled with no fan. The onboard DSP runs FiRPHASE for consistent phase through the crossover and Bass Motion Control to keep the woofer under control at high level. The True Resistive Waveguide holds a constant 100 x 60 degree pattern, and Linear, Boost and Stage presets let you set it up for mains or monitors.
The polypropylene composite cabinet has an internal M-brace, three handles, a 35 mm pole socket and M10 rigging points. It suits bands and DJs who want to run without subs for smaller gigs, as well as churches, halls and hire fleets.

Forefront Tip
Used without a sub, the Boost preset gives the 15 inch woofer more weight for music playback. Once you add a subwoofer, switch back to Linear and high pass the tops at the sub so the woofer is not working below its useful range. Brackets and covers for this box are the ART 915 versions, not the 912.
