Same family: the RCF ART 910-A (smaller model, estimated 3.9/5), the RCF ART 912-A (smaller model, rated 4.1/5), the RCF ART 932-A (smaller model, rated 4.2/5), the RCF ART 915-A (smaller model, ranked lower, estimated 3.8/5) and the RCF ART 945-A (larger model, ranked higher, rated 4.4/5).

Pros: A powered 15 inch PA speaker with good sound, wide coverage and loud peaks, still manageable to carry for its size. The bigger-voice-coil compression driver, 133dB claimed peak and broad 100° x 60° coverage mirror the well-regarded RCF ART 932-A’s design in a 15-inch cabinet. At 24.2kg it stays manageable for a box this size. Measured bass extension of 54.5Hz (-3dB).

Cons: The low-quality vendor measurement is truncated and cannot generate a preference score, so its tonal position relies on published engineering and its 12-inch sibling’s reputation rather than a confirmed result.

Frequency Response

How the RCF ART 935-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 935-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.
