The black C5212-94 12” 500W Two-Way Passive Speaker from RCF belongs to the Acustica Compact Series and is a full range and versatile wide-dispersion, two-way loudspeaker offering substantial power and efficiency for several professional applications. It can be used as a main unit in permanent installations, or as a supplementary fill in larger systems.
RCF’s exclusive Constant Matching Design technology allows for an optimal transition between the high-frequency horn polar pattern and the low-frequency woofer directivity. The horn can be rotated, allowing you to install the loudspeaker either vertically or horizontally. The high-frequency transducer is a 1.4” (35.5mm) RCF PRECISION compression driver with a 2.5” (63.5mm) voice coil. The low-frequency transducer is a 12” (304.8mm) RCF PRECISION woofer with a 3” (76.2mm) voice coil.
The speaker includes a high-level crossover network, LICC (Low Impedance Compensated Crossover) that features markedly lower (than conventional) induction values in series with the woofer. The benefits of LICC are delay reduction, reduced phase shift, and superior transient response. Dynamic high-frequency driver protection is accomplished with an AMCDP (Active MOSFET Compression Driver Protection) system, chosen to complement the driver power curve.
The internal crossover can be easily bypassed for bi-amplification. The cabinet is made of Baltic birch (heavy-duty painted) and allow different installation options, as it is equipped with top and bottom multiplates for either wall or suspended mounting with chains. Installation points are available on its rear panel as well. The steel front grille is protected with a double layer polyurethane fabric. The front RCF logo is easily rotatable. Connections are made through 2 Neutrik Speakon NL4 connectors (audio input and parallel link output).
