RCF ART 710-A MK5 vs RCF NX 910-A

Short answer: the ART 710-A MK5 for value and weight, the NX 910-A for a sturdier systems build. These rank #12 and #13 out of 19 10-inch powered PA speakers, priced at $549 and $1349, a $800 gap.

The ART 710-A MK5 is the lighter, cheaper option. At 14.2kg it’s easy to carry, with a 1.75-inch compression driver, 129dB claimed output and FiRPHASE processing, well suited to buyers who plan to cross to a subwoofer and don’t need app control. The local low-quality vendor data has no computed preference score, so its measured tonal position is uncertain.

The NX 910-A is built as a sturdier systems alternative, at a real weight and price premium. Its plywood enclosure and FiRPHASE/Bass Motion Control processing give it a wide 100° x 60° pattern and 130dB claimed peak, but at 16.4kg it’s heavier than the ART-series alternative and its measurement is likewise truncated, so neither model has a confirmed preference score to compare directly.

What the NX 910-A adds:

• A wider 100° x 60° coverage pattern, versus the ART 710-A MK5’s 90° x 70°.
• A polyurea-coated plywood cabinet instead of the ART’s PP composite shell.
• Bass Motion Control processing alongside FiRPHASE.
• 5 x M10 fly points for permanent rigging versus the ART’s 2.

Everything else matches: both are 2-way bass-reflex 10-inch boxes with similar frequency response claims (50Hz to 20kHz) and matched 69Hz measured bass extension.

Buy the ART 710-A MK5 if weight and price matter more than cabinet build and coverage width.

Buy the NX 910-A if you want the wider horn and more rugged plywood enclosure for permanent or systems installation, and don’t mind the added weight and cost.
