Piscataway, NJ (June 12, 2026)—RCF is expanding its presence in the Portable P.A. market with its new ART 8 Series, launching exclusively in the Americas.

Designed for use as main PA, fill speakers or stage monitors, the line is available with 10-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch woofers. Each model features high-grade transducers, True Resistive Waveguide technology, 1400 W Class D amplification and DSP. The company’s FiRPHASE processing is said to stop linear phase while enhancing imaging and vocal clarity. An XBOOST feature on the back panel additionally provides low-frequency depth when needed.

RCF ACE-enabled subwoofer models include integration presets for ART 8, enabling system tuning from the subwoofer interface. Starting with the SUB AX Series, RCF’s Advanced Crossover Engine (ACE) adjusts time delay and phase for system alignment, power and low-frequency impact.
