Description

Audio engineers in need of a multipurpose PA speaker will be impressed with the RCF COMPACT A 15, a full-range passive speaker suitable for a wide range of applications, including live sound reinforcement and stage monitoring as well as distributed sound systems for clubs or music venues. The speaker's True Resistive Waveguide produces coherent 100x60° coverage for the listening area for high output, distortion-free sound.

The COMPACT A 15 requires a recommended 900W amplifier to power the 15" woofer and 1.75" compression driver, which combine to offer a 50 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range and a peak SPL of 130 dB. The polypropylene composite enclosure is sleek and lightweight, making it a breeze to carry and install on a pole or with multiple rigging points.

At a Glance

  • 450W (RMS) power handling
  • Up to 130 dB sound pressure level
  • 50 Hz to 20 kHz linear frequency response
  • 1.75" compression driver
  • 15" high-power woofer
  • Robust composite material cabinet
  • Steel full front grille
  • Optional mounting accessories
  • Two speakON connectors

Multipurpose Sound

Elegant design aesthetics and RCF signature sound quality that delivers a supreme audio experience in any application, from restaurants and retail shops to clubs, corporate spaces, and venues. The speaker provides excellent acoustic performance for both background and foreground music.

Superior Transducers

  • Lightweight and powerful, RCF drivers are a true reference for high performance. All transducers are designed by RCF engineers in Italy for maximum reliability and perfectly matched components. The internal crossover frequency is set at a lower frequency than usual, resulting in a clear and accurate vocal reproduction with Dynamic Active Mosfet protection.
  • High frequencies: The new 1.75" compression driver voice-coil design with Polyimide-Kapton dome features a new bonding technology and reinforced ribs, making it 10 times more durable than previous designs. The redesigned phase plug increases sound clarity, enhancing transient response and improving coupling with the low-frequency transducer.
  • Low frequencies: Low-frequency transducer design gains more stability over higher currents, with less distortion, and is highly efficient in terms of heat dissipation. RCF quality control is very strict. The woofers are tested with a 200 hours continuous signal to stress the transducer at extreme levels.

M-Bracing a New Cabinet Design

The sleek cabinet uses a special polypropylene composite material with a radically new construction concept. The grille cover is heavy-duty steel, protecting both transducers and vented ports. The purpose-designed M-brace connects the four internal sides of the cabinet and amplifier, preventing any deformation for a completely inert body, with augmented acoustical damping, even at maximum volume settings. It also performs as a reinforcement structure, for greater resistance to mechanical stress.

True Resistive Waveguide

The new True Resistive Waveguide is the result of several refinements in both the transducers' and the vented ports' design with Finite Element Analysis, and constant measurement in RCF's anechoic chambers. Thanks to their transducers, the new shape, and the placement of the ports, the speaker now acts as a single ideal source for a perfect sound image. Acoustically, the TRW waveguide mimics a resonance-free pure resistive load, reducing the high-frequency distortion of a classic horn. With its asymmetrical sound shaping, the coverage angle of the waveguide provides constant directivity to the entire listening area and improved stereo panorama.

Easy to Handle, Fast to Install

The COMPACT A 15 is flexible and a smart choice for a wide range of applications. The cabinet is easy to carry, thanks to ergonomic handles on top. The lower side includes a steel pole socket for mounting on a stand or subwoofer pole. The speaker can also be flown, wall- or truss-mounted using multiple M10 rigging points and special accessories. From molding to the final texture, COMPACT A 15 offers maximum strength for fixed installation.
