RCF ART 712-A MK5 Active PA Speaker (Single)

The ART 712-A MK5 sets a new benchmark in professional audio with a design focused on clarity, power, and performance. Its 1.75” compression driver delivers exceptionally articulate vocals and impressive projection, while the 12” woofer ensures tight, accurate bass with outstanding depth and linearity. Built with advanced manufacturing techniques, each component is crafted for durability and superior sound.

Next-Level Amplification with Class-D Power
Harnessing the efficiency of cutting-edge Class-D amplification, the ART 7 series combines massive output power with low weight and high thermal efficiency. Delivering up to 1400 watts, the amplifier responds swiftly to transients and provides a rich, dynamic sound profile. The rugged aluminium housing enhances structural stability and supports fanless heat management—ideal for touring and stage setups. Each unit includes a state-of-the-art SMPS power supply for reliable, high-output performance without the bulk.

Engineered for Excellence
RCF transducers are designed from the ground up by expert engineers in Italy, ensuring every driver meets the highest standards for accuracy and reliability. The result? Light yet powerful drivers that deliver consistent, premium-quality sound.

Crisp, Clear Highs
The redesigned 1.75” high-frequency driver features an innovative Polyimide-Kapton dome and reinforced rib structure for tenfold durability compared to previous models. A new phase plug architecture optimises clarity, sharpens transient responses, and ensures seamless integration with the low-end driver.

Robust, Refined Lows
The 12” woofer excels in power handling and distortion control, offering superb low-frequency reproduction even under extreme conditions. Each woofer undergoes extensive stress testing—200 continuous hours of signal input—to guarantee it performs flawlessly in real-world environments.

Unlock the Power of XBoost
XBoost technology reveals the deep, rich bass potential hidden within the speaker. With the touch of a button on the back panel, you’ll activate a new dimension of low-end power—ideal for immersive mixes or ambient background settings. It delivers enhanced bass presence without compromising clarity or overextending the woofer.

Built for the Stage, Trusted by Professionals
Whether you’re a touring musician or a live sound technician, the ART 7 series is built to thrive in demanding environments. The robust cabinet is constructed from custom-engineered polypropylene that resists vibrations and impact. Its durability ensures consistent performance, gig after gig.

Precision Tuning with FiRPHASE Technology
Using RCF’s proprietary FiRPHASE digital filtering, these speakers deliver ultra-clear audio with perfect phase alignment across all frequencies. This advanced tuning approach provides accurate imaging and ensures that every listener, no matter the position, receives a uniform sound experience with minimal latency.

Designed for Portability and Versatility
Transport and setup are effortless thanks to an ergonomic top handle and integrated side grips. A steel pole mount on the bottom provides secure placement on stands or sub poles, while the angled back design allows the speaker to double as a powerful floor monitor. Internal bracing within the cabinet prevents structural flex, preserving sound integrity even at peak volume.
