New from RCF Audio are COMPACT C loudspeakers, featuring, the company says, an advanced passive design that provides impressive sound pressure levels and remarkable sound quality. The company adds that the combination of purpose-designed transducers, advanced crossover, waterproof protection, and IP 67 connectors produces coherent coverage to the listening area with distortion-free sound.

COMPACT C speakers are versatile and easy to install. Both Compact C32 and C45 can be used in either vertical or horizontal configurations. When used horizontally, the horn can be rotated 90 degrees. Each model can be flown, wall- or truss-mounted using the multiple M8 and M10 threaded inserts and optional accessories.

Lightweight and powerful, the company's transducers feature advanced materials such as neodymium magnets and 3" or 4" pure titanium diaphragms. Both drivers and woofers are designed by RCF engineers in Italy for maximum reliability and perfectly matched components. The internal crossover frequency is set at a lower frequency than normal, resulting in a clear and accurate vocal reproduction with dynamic, active MOSFET protection, the company says.

The special waveguide design allows for accurate control of COMPACT C speakers and provides directional characteristics. In difficult acoustic environments, intelligibility is significantly increased. Using the optional HN-KIT COMPACT C 32 C 45 accessory, installers can replace the speaker horn by choosing 100-by-25 degree or 60-by-25 degree directivity.

The weatherproof birch plywood cabinet is designed for robustness and reliability, with Amphenol eco|mate IP 67 connectors. Its textured polyurea coating provides scratch resistance and greater longevity compared to traditional finishes, the company says. The front steel grille is powder-coated and fitted with an acoustically transparent, water-repellent fabric.
