CREATED WITH MUSIC IN MIND

ART 9 sets a new standard in professional audio with its innovative electroacoustic design and the extreme versatility—all packed in a rugged, tour-ready cabinet — delivering stellar audio performance. ART 9 is a reliable audio solution that can be used as the main sound system, fill speaker, or stage monitor.

The ART series was a milestone in the market. It’s one of the very first portable, composite material speakers, with exceptional sound quality. The introduction of the ART Series, in 1996, has established RCF among the major global manufacturers of active speakers.

THE MOST POWERFUL AMPLIFIER IN ITS CLASS

With 2,100 Watts of power, the 2-channel ART 9 Class-D amplifier is 50% more powerful than previous models, able to manage extremely high sound pressure levels with an ultra-fast attack, realistic transient response, and very low heat loss.

SUPERIOR COMPRESSION DRIVERS

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.

REMARKABLE WOOFERS

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. Our woofers are tested with a 200 hours continuous signal to stress the transducer at extreme levels. Only the best woofer design can fit ART 9.

NEW CABINET DESIGN

A professional appearance of an ART 9 speaker is ideal for live events or installed applications. The sleek black cabinet uses a special polypropylene composite material with a radically new construction concept. The grill cover is heavy-duty steel protecting both transducers and vented ports.

BRING ART WITH YOU

ART 9 can operate as either the main system or as a floor monitor. This flexibility makes it a smart choice for a wide range of live sound applications. From molding to the final texture, ART 9 offers maximum strength for intensive use on the road, well suitable for fixed installation.

BASS MOTION CONTROL

When searching for an extended bass with enhanced performance, RCF engineers found a way to remove the high-pass filter, replacing it with a forward-thinking approach. Introducing BMC (Bass Motion Control), the newly advanced woofer excursion management feature. ART 9 with BMC can handle the lowest audible frequencies without affecting the woofer stability, with extended linearity and better sound integrity.

FIRPHASE TECHNOLOGY

RCF speakers are designed using a proprietary and advanced FiR filtering technology, conceived to deliver transparent sound, absolute clarity and perfect stereo images to the listener. The special FiRPHASE filters allow for coherent distribution of sound for all listeners without phase distortions, ensuring minimum latencies in the system.
