SUB 9000
A New Definition of Bass
Simplified Tuning. Unrivaled Depth.
Professional Configuration, Simplified
RCF has created a groundbreaking solution for offline/unpowered device configuration. With RDTap, users can inspect and configure devices without needing to power the device. Sound engineers can design a system within the RDTap App on the move and configure each subwoofer by tapping the RDTap logo, with RCF [patent-pending] contactless technology. As an alternative, RDNet management software enables comprehensive real-time control and monitoring of compatible, network-connected devices.
SOUND SYSTEM MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL SOFTWARE
RDNet is the RCF management software suite for Sound System Engineers. A robust management network for RCF devices, a line-array design tool, a monitoring platform, and a complete audio analyzer in one package.
RDNet provides intuitive management of every connected device/object on the network. Network users can control all DSP settings inside any compatible device, including advanced subwoofer configurations, from a single object to groups of objects.
RDNet users can edit and create recallable presets for RCF devices.

The RDTap app offers contactless communication with the subwoofer. Users can access pre-loaded presets to quickly configure RCF systems or optimize compatible speakers, subwoofers, and line arrays.
ADVANCED CROSSOVER ENGINE
FACTORY-TUNED PRESETS FOR PERFECT SUB-TOP PAIRING
Pair your full-range speaker with RCF ACE-enabled SUBs and unlock your system's true potential.
RCF’s proprietary Advanced Crossover Engine (ACE) is engineered to precisely match the time delay and align the phase on a broader range than the usual crossover frequency range between RCF subwoofers and FiRPHASE-enabled full-range speakers.

INPUT - FEMALE XLR INPUTS (BALANCED)
The system is equipped with female XLR connectors for balanced audio signals. These inputs are designed to accept professional-grade audio sources, ensuring full compatibility with standard audio equipment.
LINK OUT - MALE XLR SIGNAL OUTPUT
The male XLR output connector provides a loop-through feature, enabling daisy-chaining of additional speakers. The connector is wired in parallel with the input and can also be used to send the audio signal to supplementary devices like other powered speakers or amplifiers.
XOVER OUT - MALE XLR SIGNAL OUTPUT
This balanced male XLR output is specifically engineered to feed RCF satellite speakers. Its configuration can be customized by loading a preset via the RDTap app, ensuring seamless integration between the subwoofer and satellite speakers.
LEVEL SELECTOR
The seven-position level selector provides attenuation from 0 dB (no reduction) to –12 dB in 2 dB increments. This precise adjustment helps optimize system performance by preventing clipping or distortion from overly strong input signals, thereby ensuring seamless integration with other audio components.
SETUP SELECTOR
The setup selector is a four-position rotary switch that governs the operating configuration of the subwoofer. The available settings are:
1 – Low-Pass Filter at 60 Hz
2 – Low-Pass Filter at 80 Hz
RDNET – RDNet-based configuration
RDTAP – App-Based Configuration
1 – Low-Pass Filter at 60 Hz
2 – Low-Pass Filter at 80 Hz
RDNET – RDNet-based configuration
RDTAP – App-Based Configuration
SERVICE: USB-C PORT
A dedicated USB-C port is provided for service access. The recommended method for updating the internal firmware is via RDNet.
SUB MUTE BUTTON
When the SUB MUTE button is pressed, the subwoofer enters a muted state. In this mode, the button illuminates red to clearly indicate that the subwoofer is muted. Simultaneously, the DELAY, PHASE, and CARDIOID LEDs on the RDTAP panel also light up red, offering additional visual confirmation—even from a distance.
DATA IN – DATA LINK: RDNET INPUT/OUTPUT SECTION
The RDNet In/Out section is equipped with etherCON connectors for seamless integration within an RDNet network. This connectivity enables comprehensive system control and monitoring via RDNet software, allowing for precise adjustments and real-time feedback in advanced audio management.
FUNCTION AND STATUS INDICATION LED
RDTAP AREA
The RDTAP Area is a specialized feature on the subwoofer panel that facilitates streamlined configuration transfer even when the subwoofer is unpowered. By placing a smartphone running the RDTap app near this designated area, users can wirelessly transmit a pre-designed system configuration directly to the subwoofer or receive the current configuration to the app.
Bass Motion Control
Effettuando ricerche sul miglioramento delle prestazioni alle basse frequenze, gli ingegneri RCF hanno rimosso il filtro passa-alto, sostituendolo con un approccio inedito. Il BMC (Bass Motion Control) è una soluzione innovativa per la gestione delle escursioni del woofer. Il diffusore dotato di BMC è in grado di gestire le frequenze più basse udibili senza influire sulla stabilità del trasduttore, fornendo così una linearità estesa e una migliore integrità sonora.
Il metodo BMC agisce creando una mappa completa del comportamento dinamico del woofer per generare un algoritmo personalizzato che limita solo le sovra-escursioni. Questo fornisce al trasduttore una totale libertà di riproduzione del segnale. Di norma, i filtri passa-alto proteggono il woofer preservandolo da movimenti potenzialmente distruttivi, ma ne cambiano il comportamento di fase: il nuovo algoritmo BMC infrange questa regola.
