ART 9 Series
The ART 9 Series is an evolution of the ART speaker concept and a revolution in portable sound.
ART 9 combines raw power and technological innovation to reliably deliver superior clarity with impressive sound pressure. With RCF build quality and packed with premium features, it's the most versatile loudspeaker for professional applications—on the road, on the stage, and is also suitable for fixed installation.
A JOURNEY FULL OF ART
THE MOST POWERFUL AMPLIFIER IN ITS CLASS
ART 9 is very energy-efficient so there is no need for a cooling fan - the amplifier is attached to a solid aluminum heat exchanger in the back of the unit - with no moving parts. Being physically connected with the internal frame, the amplifier is firm and solid within the cabinet. The input circuit features a new low distortion design with an advanced safety limiter, maintaining the true character of the input signal at all levels. All ART 9 amplifiers are designed according to EN62368-1 for maximum safety and present a Switch Mode Power Supply section joining high-efficiency with minimum weight.
2100 W of power
One input, the one that sounds good
LINEAR - Finely tuned sound for best clarity
BOOST - Enhanced loudness for background music or punchy bass
STAGE - Perfect tuning for stage monitoring
Superior transducers
High frequencies
The new 1.75" compression driver voice-coil design with Polyimide-Kapton dome features a new bonding technology and reinforced ribs make it 10 times more durable than previous models. We also redesigned the phase plug to increase sound clarity and precision, also improving coupling with the low-frequency transducer.
*ART 935-A, 932-A, and 945-A feature titanium/neodymium compression drivers
Neodymium magnets are the strongest permanent magnets known. This rare-earth material is lightweight and extremely powerful in comparison with the most common Ferrite magnet. RCF professional transducers feature neodymium magnets when a lightweight and smaller magnet assembly is required, such as in touring applications.
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 9.
*ART 945-A features 15" neodymium woofer
Neodymium magnets are the strongest permanent magnets known. This rare-earth material is lightweight and extremely powerful in comparison with the most common Ferrite magnet. RCF professional transducers feature neodymium magnets when a lightweight and smaller magnet assembly is required, such as in touring applications.
SIZE THEM UP
When searching for an extended bass with enhanced performance, RCF engineers found a way to remove the high-pass filter, replacing it with a forward-thinking approach. Introducing BMC (Bass Motion Control), the newly advanced woofer excursion management feature. Speakers with BMC can handle the lowest audible frequencies without affecting the woofer stability, with extended linearity and better sound integrity.
The BMC method works by creating a complete map of the dynamic behavior of the woofer, to generate a custom algorithm that only limits over-excursions. This gives total freedom of signal reproduction to the transducer. When high-pass filters normally protect the woofer motion from becoming destructive, but change the phase behavior, the new BMC algorithm breaks conventional rule. In combination with FiRPHASE technology, ART 9 & NX 9 have a level of DSP audio performance never achieved in this range of speakers.
