RCF ART 935-A: Club-Ready Power With Precision Coverage
Drive clean, confident volume with the RCF ART 935-A. A 2100W Class-D bi-amplifier powers a 15" woofer and a 3" titanium/neodymium compression driver through RCF’s True Resistive Waveguide for 100° × 60° coherent coverage and up to 133 dB SPL.
With FiRPHASE and Bass Motion Control DSP, ART 935-A maintains a 45–20000 Hz linear response, tight low end, and phase-true imaging. The M-brace polypropylene composite cabinet improves rigidity and damping, and the steel grille protects both transducers and ports.
Integrate quickly via a balanced XLR/TRS combo input, XLR link out, 35 mm pole insert, and M10 rigging points for pole, flown, wall, or truss mounting.
Real-World Applications and Sound Roles
- Main PA for mobile DJs, clubs, and corporate AV.
- High-output floor monitor using the Stage preset.
- Pole-mounted top over subwoofers for dance floors.
- Flown or wall/truss-mounted coverage zones in venues.
Where the RCF ART 935-A Excels
- Room-Filling Output: Up to 133 dB SPL keeps headroom for peaks without audible strain.
- Class-Leading Power: 2100W Class-D bi-amp provides fast transients with low heat loss.
- Coherent Coverage: True Resistive Waveguide maintains a stable 100° × 60° pattern.
- High-Definition Vocals: 3" titanium/neodymium driver and 800 Hz crossover preserve clarity.
- Deep, Controlled Bass: Bass Motion Control manages excursion for linear low end to 45 Hz.
- Road-Ready Build: Polypropylene composite with M-brace and steel grille resists transport wear.
- Smart I/O: Balanced XLR/TRS combo input with XLR thru; input sensitivity at -2 dBu/+4 dBu.
- Silent Reliability: Convection cooling eliminates fan noise for installs and quiet stages.
- Fast Mounting: 35 mm pole insert and M10 points support pole, flown, wall, or truss setups.
Control Modes for the RCF ART 935-A
- Presets: Linear (general use), Boost (background music at low level), Stage (monitor use).
- Indicators: SIGNAL LED confirms input; OVERLOAD LED warns of excessive input level.
- Gain & Routing: Combo XLR/TRS balanced input; XLR link output for daisy-chaining.
- Protections & DSP: Thermal and RMS protections with Soft Limiter; FiRPHASE and Bass Motion Control processing.
- Crossover: 800 Hz handoff between LF and HF sections.
- Input Sensitivity: -2 dBu / +4 dBu selection to match sources.
Power That Moves
The two-channel 2100W Class-D amplifier delivers ultra-fast attack, realistic transient response, and stable operation at high SPL without a cooling fan. A solid aluminum heat exchanger couples the module to the internal frame for efficient, silent convection cooling.
M-Brace Cabinet Engineering
The polypropylene composite enclosure uses a purpose-designed M-brace to connect internal sides and amplifier, preventing deformation and increasing damping at high levels. A heavy-duty steel grille protects transducers and vented ports.
Bass Motion Control
Bass Motion Control maps woofer behavior to limit only over-excursions, removing the need for a traditional high-pass filter. The result is extended low-frequency linearity and improved integrity while maintaining phase behavior.
True Resistive Waveguide + FiRPHASE
The True Resistive Waveguide and port geometry act as a resonance-free, resistive acoustic load that reduces HF distortion and preserves imaging. FiRPHASE linear-phase filters distribute sound coherently for natural, precise reproduction across the listening area.
How to Deploy the RCF ART 935-A in the Field
Choose the configuration that matches the room and role: pole-mount on a 35 mm stand or over a subwoofer, use as a floor monitor, or mount via M10 points for flown, wall, or truss applications. Aim the cabinet so the 100° × 60° pattern evenly covers listeners, then select the preset that fits the task.
- Main PA: Use Linear; position at ear height and toe-in to overlap patterns without hotspots.
- Monitor: Use Stage; place to the performer’s side, aiming across the mic null.
- Install: Use rigging points; verify hardware, load limits, and horizontal mounting surfaces.
- Gain Staging: Match source level with the -2 dBu / +4 dBu setting; watch SIGNAL/OVERLOAD LEDs.
Set pattern, pick the preset, and the ART 935-A delivers consistent, phase-true coverage from front row to back wall.
