Power that moves
The most powerful amplifier in its class. RCF’s improvements in transducer design make them stronger and powerful, so the amplifier follows the evolution. With 4400W peak power, the 2-channel Class-D amplifier is able to manage extreme sound pressure levels with an ultra-fast attack, realistic transient response, and very low heat loss. So energy-efficient that there’s no need for a cooling fan – the amplifier is attached to a solid aluminum heat exchanger in the rear of the cabinet – with no moving parts. The stereo input circuit with crossover features a new low distortion design with an advanced safety limiter, maintaining the true character of the input signal at all levels. RCF amplifiers are designed according to EN62368-1 for maximum safety and present a Switch Mode Power Supply section joining high-efficiency with minimum weight.
