RCF ART 915-AX: 2100W Bluetooth® PA That Lets Chicago DJs Run the Room
Meet the 15-inch workhorse built for modern DJ and live sound. The ART 915-AX combines a 2100W Class-D bi-amplifier with a 1.75" compression driver, a 15" woofer, and RCF’s True Resistive Waveguide to deliver 100° × 60° constant directivity and up to 131 dB SPL—clean, punchy, and consistent across the room.
Mix, process, and pair—no rack required. A built-in 6-channel digital mixer with compressors, EQs, reverb, and ducker gives you fast control for mics, instruments, and players. Add the Bluetooth® stereo audio input with dual-speaker pairing for flexible wireless sets, backups, or cocktail hour feeds.
RCF DSP for clarity that scales. FiRPHASE phase-aligned filtering and Bass Motion Control extend punch and definition, while the color touch panel and encoder put every setting at your fingertips. Convection cooling and a reinforced PP composite cabinet with M-brace keep the system quiet, rigid, and ready for the road.
Ready for poles, walls, truss, or flown arrays. With multiple rigging points, a 35 mm pole mount, and MIX OUT/IN 1 LINK routing, ART 915-AX integrates into portable rigs or installed systems without the guesswork.

The PP composite enclosure with M-brace reinforcement, steel grille, 35 mm pole mount, and multiple M10 points makes the 915-AX equally at home on stands, walls, truss, or flown. MIX OUT/IN 1 LINK and subwoofer presets simplify two-top and top-plus-sub deployments.
How to Deploy RCF ART 915-AX in the Field
Pole-Mount Main: Use the 35 mm insert to place the HF horn above head height; set HPF if pairing with an RCF sub via CROSSOVER OUT. Engage system EQ to trim room modes and use output delay for alignment when pairing spaced tops.
Two-Top Stereo or Dual-Mono: For fast stereo, stream via Bluetooth® and pair a second AX speaker; for wired redundancy, route source into CH1/CH2 and use MIX OUT/CH1 LINK as needed.
Top + Sub: Select the appropriate RCF subwoofer preset on CROSSOVER OUT for clean band-split and punchy LF. Verify polarity and fine-tune delay for summation at crossover.
Monitors / Sidefills: Angle cabinets to cover performer zones without HF hotspots; apply minimal EQ cuts with the 5-band parametric to control stage bleed.
Corporate / Speaking: Use the ducker to prioritize mic channels over playback. Store presets for repeated venues via the touch panel or app.
Dialed in minutes: set height, pick the preset, trim EQ, and you’re show-ready.
