RCF

Description

The RCF ART 815-A 15" 2-way powered speaker is designed for live events that demand greater low-frequency authority and room-filling output, making it well suited for DJ performances, full-band shows, larger parties, outdoor events, worship services and mobile PA systems. Its 1400W peak Class-D bi-amplifier powers a 15" woofer with a 2.5" voice coil and a 1" compression driver with a 1.75" voice coil, producing up to 130dB max SPL with a 45Hz–20kHz frequency response. RCF's True Resistive Waveguide, FiRPHASE processing and XBoost low-frequency enhancement help the ART 815-A deliver broad coverage, clear sound reproduction and full-range performance for live music, DJ playback, installed sound and portable reinforcement applications.

Bi-Amplified Power With Advanced DSP

The ART 815-A uses a 1400W peak Class-D bi-amplified design that separately powers its low- and high-frequency drivers for efficient performance and consistent output. Its DSP platform includes a 1600Hz crossover, thermal and RMS protection, a soft limiter and front-panel controls for volume, Boost and Mic/Line operation. FiRPHASE processing helps optimize phase response for more coherent sound, while XBoost enhances perceived low-frequency depth and richness when the speaker is used as a full-range cabinet without a subwoofer.

15" Woofer With Full-Range Performance

The 15" woofer gives the ART 815-A the deepest low-frequency extension in the ART 8 Series lineup, reaching down to 45Hz while maintaining high-frequency response up to 20kHz. A 1" compression driver provides vocal clarity and high-frequency detail, while the True Resistive Waveguide maintains consistent 100-degree horizontal and 60-degree vertical coverage. With up to 130dB max SPL, the ART 815-A is well suited for full-range DJ systems, live bands, larger speaking events and installations that require greater output and low-frequency presence from a single cabinet.

Reinforced Cabinet for Flexible Deployment

The ART 815-A is housed in a black PP composite cabinet with internal M-brace reinforcement to improve structural stability, reduce cabinet resonance and support demanding portable or installed use. A steel grille protects the drivers and front ports, while a 35 mm pole mount, 2 M10 rigging points and top and side handles support pole-mounted, wall-mounted, truss-mounted or flown configurations. Measuring 27.95" high, 16.33" wide and 16.15" deep while weighing 49.38 lb., the RCF ART 815-A 15" 1400W 2-way powered speaker combines high SPL capability, extended low-frequency performance and versatile deployment options for professional live-sound applications.
