RCF ART 715-A is equipped with a new generation of 750 Watt Digital Amplifier, ACOUSTICAL SPECIFICATIONS
500 Watt for the woofer and 250 Watt for the compression driver. The result of Frequency response: 50 Hz- 20 Khz
this is very high output, extremely low distortion and an incredible natural sound. Max SPL: 130 dB
The amplifier presents both XLR/jack (Combo) balanced inputs, XLR output link, Horizontal coverage angle: 90°
Vertical coverage angle: 60°
volume and a switchable EQ Mode (Flat/ Boost). The amplifier features a solid Compression driver: 1.0” neo, 43,18 mm voice coil
mechanical aluminium structure which not only stabilize the amplifier during Midrange: -
transportation but also assist in the heat dissipation. Woofer: 15” neo, 89 mm voice coil
