RCF FL-B LINK HDL 6-12 2X Link Bars for Compact HDL and HL Arrays
The RCF FL-B LINK HDL 6-12 2X is a dedicated link bar kit designed to mechanically connect RCF compact arrays and matching flyable subwoofers.
Supplied as two pieces, this black link bar pair lets you create neat, manufacturer-approved connections between selected HDL and HL
full-range modules and their companion subs, keeping your array structure consistent from show to show.
RCF specifies the FL-B LINK HDL 6-12 2X for use with:
- HDL 6-A — Active line array module.
- HDL 12-AS — Active flyable high power subwoofer.
- HDL 26-A — Active two-way line array module.
- HDL 35-AS — Active flyable subwoofer module.
- HL 6 — Two-way line array module.
- HL 35-S — Flyable passive subwoofer.
With a listed height of 206 mm, width of 30 mm, depth of 179 mm, and a kit weight of about
2.18 kg (4.81 lb), the FL-B LINK HDL 6-12 2X is compact enough for daily handling yet substantial enough for repeated rigging use.
The hardware is finished in black and marked as CE compliant, aligning it with professional expectations for touring and
installation environments.
Real-World Applications and System Roles:
- Linking HDL 6-A tops with HDL 12-AS flyable subs in compact active arrays.
- Building HDL 26-A arrays with HDL 35-AS subs for higher-output, flyable systems.
- Pairing HL 6 line array modules with HL 35-S passive flyable subwoofers.
- Standardizing link hardware across RCF compact arrays for Chicago production companies and mobile DJ rigs.
- Keeping rental, install, and touring packages aligned with RCF-approved link bar geometry.
Where the RCF FL-B LINK HDL 6-12 2X Excels
- Purpose-Built Link Bar: Designed by RCF specifically as a link bar for compact HDL and HL systems, avoiding guesswork with generic hardware.
-
Covers Key Compact Rigs: One kit supports multiple RCF pairings:
- HDL 6-A with HDL 12-AS.
- HDL 26-A with HDL 35-AS.
- HL 6 with HL 35-S.
- Two-Piece Kit: Supplied as two pieces, letting you link both sides of the array/sub combination as laid out in RCF documentation.
- Compact Dimensions: Approximate 206 mm height, 30 mm width, 179 mm depth keep the hardware manageable on truss, lifts, or grids.
- Solid Feel, Manageable Weight: Kit weight of about 2.18 kg / 4.81 lb balances rigidity with easy handling for techs.
- Professional Black Finish: Black color helps the link bars visually disappear into frames and cabinets on stage and in photos.
- CE-Compliant Accessory: Safety agency listing notes CE compliant, supporting use in professional venues and installs.
- Consistent RCF Geometry: Using the manufacturer’s link bar helps maintain the target angles and spacing RCF expects between tops and flyable subs.
- Ideal for Chicago Arrays: A strong fit for Chicago DJs and event companies flying compact HDL and HL packages in clubs, ballrooms, and theaters.
Linking HDL 6-A and HDL 12-AS for Compact Active Arrays
When you build compact active arrays around HDL 6-A and HDL 12-AS, the FL-B LINK HDL 6-12 2X provides the
manufacturer-specified link between the line array module and the flyable subwoofer. Using the dedicated link bars keeps the physical connection in line with RCF’s intent,
rather than improvising with generic hardware that may not match cabinet geometry. With two pieces in each kit, it is straightforward to link both sides of the array stack
as laid out in RCF documentation.
For mobile DJ and production work, this approach simplifies rigging decisions: when the system list calls for HDL 6-A over HDL 12-AS, the FL-B LINK HDL 6-12 2X kit becomes
the expected hardware that travels with that package, helping crews build and strike the same way from event to event.
Matching HDL 26-A and HDL 35-AS, HL 6 and HL 35-S
The same link bar kit is also specified for HDL 26-A with HDL 35-AS and HL 6 with HL 35-S. That means you can standardize on one part number
across multiple compact RCF arrays—useful for rental houses and production companies building both active and passive systems. The two-piece set helps maintain symmetry when
arrays are flown left and right, or when you are building matched hangs in large rooms.
Because the link bars are designed for those exact pairings, they respect cabinet spacing and alignment in a way that general-purpose hardware often cannot. That consistency
supports predictable results when you move the same HDL or HL rig between Chicago venues of different sizes.
Dimensions, Weight, and Shipping Details
RCF lists each FL-B LINK HDL 6-12 2X kit with a height of 206 mm (8.11 inches), width of 30 mm (1.18 inches), and a
depth of 179 mm (7.05 inches). The kit weight is approximately 2.18 kg (4.81 lb), giving the bars a solid feel without being awkward to
handle on a lift or at the top of a grid.
Shipping information calls out a package height of 50 mm, width of 300 mm, depth of 180 mm, and a
package weight of about 2.28 kg (5.03 lb). Those compact dimensions make it easy to allocate one or more link bar kits per array package in your warehouse,
truck pack, or install spares drawer.
How to Deploy the RCF FL-B LINK HDL 6-12 2X in the Field
Deployment starts by confirming which RCF system you are building. The FL-B LINK HDL 6-12 2X is specified for use with three main pairings:
- HDL 6-A with HDL 12-AS.
- HDL 26-A with HDL 35-AS.
- HL 6 with HL 35-S.
Once the tops and subs are in position on their flying hardware, install the two link bars where RCF indicates for that specific combination, using the appropriate pins or
fasteners shown in the official documentation for your frames and cabinets. The goal is to use both link bars so each side of the array connection is mirrored, respecting
the geometry RCF designed between the line array module and the flyable subwoofer.
For touring and rental packages, many crews keep one FL-B LINK HDL 6-12 2X kit permanently paired with each eligible array combination. That way, when a Chicago ballroom,
corporate show, or club calls for a compact RCF hang, the correct link bars are already traveling with the HDL or HL system rather than being pulled from a shared bin.
Treat the FL-B LINK HDL 6-12 2X as dedicated hardware for your compact RCF arrays—when the right link bars live with each rig, your HDL and HL systems go up faster and more consistently night after night.
