Overview
Part of the Art 7 Series MK4 line of speakers, the RCF ART 712-A MK4 is a lightweight (at 39.6 lb) and portable active speaker designed to deliver full-range sound with accurate high-frequencies, and controlled deep bass. It is well suited for live sound reinforcement or distributed sound systems in clubs, corporate spaces, houses of worship, or for mobile DJ setups.
The ART 712-A MK4 is equipped with a 1400W peak, Class-D digital amplifier, which drives 1000W into the 12" woofer and 400W into the 1", mylar-dome compression driver. The speaker delivers a frequency response of 50 Hz to 20 kHz with a peak SPL output of 129 dB, and wide, 90°H x 60°V coverage angles. The integrated DSP manages the loudspeaker processing, including crossover and AEQ, soft limiter, and dynamic bass boost. Phase and amplitude are corrected using proprietary FiRPHASE technology conceived for delivering a natural and transparent sound with a balanced stereo image.
Easy to operate, the ART 712-A MK4 comes with XLR and 1/4" balanced/unbalanced inputs for connecting a microphone, mixer, or audio device, and with a volume knob to set the level. Furthermore, the switchable Flat/Boost mode enables you to emphasises the bass response when playing at low volume, or keep it flat for all other applications.
The cabinet is moulded with rugged polypropylene composite material (PP), and designed to dampen vibrations, even at maximum volume settings. It features top and side handles, which allow you to firmly hold the speaker, and move it easily. The ART 712-A MK4 can be mounted on a stand or a subwoofer pole, or positioned on its side to serve as a wedge monitor.
