Older model: the RCF ART 735-A MK4 (ranked lower, rated 3.2/5). See every RCF ART 7 generation.

Same family: the RCF ART 708-A MK5 (smaller model, rated 3.4/5), the RCF ART 710-A MK5 (smaller model, rated 3.6/5), the RCF ART 712-A MK5 (smaller model, rated 3.6/5), the RCF ART 732-A MK5 (smaller model, rated 3.8/5), the RCF ART 715-A MK5 (smaller model, ranked higher, rated 3.6/5) and the RCF ART 745-A MK5 (larger model, ranked higher, rated 3.5/5).

Pros: A powerful 15 inch PA speaker with app adjustable bass modes and a mic/line input, built for loud vocals at gigs and events. A 15” woofer and a 1.4” exit titanium compression driver with a 3” voice coil, powered by 1,400W peak (1,000W LF, 400W HF) with DSP crossover at 800Hz. RCF rates it at 45Hz to 20kHz and 132dB maximum output over 90° x 60° coverage. FiRPHASE phase alignment and XBOOST bass modes can be set from the rear panel or the LiveRemote app, and the mic/line input feeds an XLR link output.

Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. At 21.4 kg it is heavy for one person to lift onto a pole, and it needs a subwoofer for deep bass at event levels.
