RCF ART 712-A MK4 1400W Active Two-Way Powered 12" PA Speaker

The RCF ART 712-A MK4 is a unique product in its category.

The professional compression driver with custom designed dome and high power voice coil offers unique vocal clarity and sound projection. The 12” woofer offers an extremely linear response and a precise, deep low frequency control. The transducers are produced using the most advanced assembly technologies.

The amplifier delivers 1400 watts and is controlled by a DSP that takes care of crossover, equalisation, phase control, soft limiting and speaker protections.

Award-winning design

The Red Dot. The prestigious mark of quality and innovation. This is an award that stands for brilliance in design. And the RCF Art 7 series has earned it.

It's not easy winning that award. It's one of the most renowned and difficult-to-achieve awards in the world. But in the Product Design category, the Art 7 series managed to receive the Red Dot quality seal for design, awarded by a jury of top-class experts.

A unique shape and style has been developed thanks to careful research carried out by RCF's very own R&D team, and completed in collaboration with the ID-EE industrial design studio. Every single aspect of the series, down to the smallest of details, has been meticulously crafted to deliver next-level technical and functional characteristics. Aesthetics, acoustic performance, and digital technology have been fused together to create a system that is truly worthy of your sound. No matter what your sound may be.

Proprietary FiRPHASE filtering technology

Experience true transparency. With RCF's proprietary advanced FiRPHASE filters, the Art 7 series delivers every single sonic detail and dynamic nuance with phenomenal clarity. The filters work to distribute your sound coherently across the entire area of coverage with zero phase distortions. This keeps system latency to a minimum, and ensures that the stereo imaging of your system remains perfect.
