Pros: A compact, affordable 10 inch powered PA speaker that is easy to carry, a simple top for pairing with a subwoofer. A compact, affordable RCF 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 do not need app control. At 14.2kg it is easy to carry. Measured bass extension of 69Hz (-3dB).

Cons: The local low-quality manufacturer data has no computed preference score, making its measured tonal position uncertain.

Frequency Response

How the RCF ART 710-A MK5 measures across the audible range. A flatter listening window (the sound arriving straight at you) is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. The estimated in-room response adds what a typical room does, and there a gentle, even tilt down toward the treble is ideal. Both curves are shifted so their 300 Hz to 3 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
