Same family: the RCF ART 910-A (smaller model, estimated 3.9/5), the RCF ART 912-A (smaller model, ranked lower, rated 4.1/5), the RCF ART 915-A (larger model, estimated 3.8/5), the RCF ART 935-A (larger model, rated 3.9/5) and the RCF ART 945-A (larger model, rated 4.4/5).

Pros: A loud, wide covering 12 inch powered PA speaker with a large compression driver for clear vocals and live mains. A large 3-inch compression-driver voice coil, broad 100° x 60° coverage and 132dB claimed maximum output make it attractive for clear vocals and live mains. RCF’s FiRPHASE and Bass Motion Control processing target phase consistency and useful low-frequency headroom. Measured bass extension of 54.5Hz (-3dB).

Cons: The local low-quality vendor data does not currently produce a preference score, so this position has lower measurement confidence than the QSC, JBL and scored FBT models. Its streamlined controls lack the app and deep user DSP of the JBL PRX912.

Frequency Response

How the RCF ART 932-A 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.

EQ for a Neutral Response

Flattens the measured listening window from the RCF ART 932-A's own bass extension up to 16 kHz. Set a preamp of -0.1 dB, then add these filters to any parametric equalizer in the signal path: the speaker's app or DSP if it has parametric EQ, a miniDSP, Equalizer APO or Wavelet. Boosts are kept to 3 dB, and EQ cannot fix how evenly the speaker spreads sound off-axis, which is why some speakers gain more than others. Calculated by Speaker Ranking from the spinorama measurements above.
