HDL 6-A, the Tiniest RCF Monster -- Is Now Shipping

RCF's HDL 6-a sound reinforcement system

The careful acoustic design, no compromise transducers, and a unique composite cabinet make the the RCF HDL 6-A the best choice for live sound reinforcement and reliable installed solutions.

A 1,400W two-channel class-D amplifier powers the system. A powerful DSP with the new proprietary FiRPHASE algorithms processes the sound including crossover, phase correction, limiting, and protection. The system features state-of-the-art RCF transducers -- two powerful 6.0" woofers for a solid bass reproduction plus a high-powered compression driver mounted on a precise 100-degree x 10-degree waveguide to deliver perfect vocal clarity, high definition, and an incredible dynamic. To improve the bass performance the HDL 12-AS subwoofer is the perfect complement.

HDL 6-A features include:

* 1,400W peak two-way amplifier
* 131dB max SPL
* 1.7" voice coil neodymium compression driver
** Two x 6.0" high power Neodymium woofers
* 48kHz, 32-bit DSP processing
* Symmetrical design
** Extremely low weight
* FiRPHASE processing

The concept of this speaker derives from the touring industry, bringing in a compact cabinet all the experience of RCF professional sound.

RCF Class-D power amplifiers technology packs huge performance with high efficiency into a lightweight solution. The amplifiers deliver ultra-fast attack, realistic, transient, response and impressive audio performance. It features a solid mechanical aluminum structure which not only stabilize the amplifier during transportation but also assist in the heat dissipation. Each input board presents both XLR/jack balanced inputs, XLR output link, volume and a switchable EQ mode.

Two 6.5" woofers with 2.0" edge-wound copper voice coil for pristine bass reproduction. The water resistant fiber cone with Polycotton M-roll surround augment strength and durability. It offers extremely low weight and high-end performances thanks to the high power neodymium magnetic structure.

The ND 340 high power compression driver delivers one of the key advantages of the HDL6-A. The pure titanium diaphragm and the 1.7" voice coil with a crossover point of 900 Hz allows the driver to produce a perfect coherence for the vocal range. This allows superior efficiency, better coverage, and dispersion control and includes a simple switch for short or long throw applications.

The custom designed waveguide provides a precise coverage of 100-degree x 10-degree delivering a superb, linear high frequency response.

The integrated DSP manages crossover, equalization, soft limiter, compressor, and dynamic bass boost. The FiRPHASE algorithm, an exclusive of RCF, optimizes dynamics, amplitude, and phase patterns even on mid-low frequencies, ensuring minimum latency in the system. It delivers transparent sound, absolute clarity and perfect stereo image.

The cabinets are molded on a special polypropylene composite material designed to dampen down vibrations even at maximum volume settings. From molding to the final texture, HDL 6-A offers the maximum reliability and strength for the intensive use on the road.

The integrated mechanics are both fast and reconfigurable, allowing the system engineer to create genuine J-shaped or spiral arrays. It features two composite polypropylene rear handles designed for portability. The heavy-duty front grille is power coated. A special transparent-to-sound foam backing inside helps the further protection of the transducers from dust.

Housing a 12" woofer, the HDL 12-AS is a very compact active sub enclosure and features a 1,400W powerful class-D amplifier. It's the ideal complement to create flown HDL 6-A clusters with outstanding performance. Thanks to its compact size and low weight it can be easily carried.

It features a built-in digital stereo crossover (DSP) with adjustable crossover frequency to connect the HDL 6-A line array module or a satellite.

Main features include:
* 1,400W peak digital amplifier
* 12" woofer, bass reflex housing
* Stereo crossover
** Switchable crossover frequencies
* Polarity-reverse switch
** Stereo XLR input, stereo XLR output
* Electronic equalization, soft limiter and protection

Systems applications include:
* Live sound
* Rental
* Corporate AV professionals and sound system hire companies
* Portable PA
* Clubs and DJs
* House of worship
* Theatres
* Music playback and sound reinforcement
