ART 712-A MK5 Active Two-Way Speaker Pair
The ART 712-A MK5 is RCF's answer to one of the most popular speaker categories available. Powerful, portable, durable and above all great sounding due to the advanced manufacturing and signal processing techniques used to create them. Featuring a 12 inch woofer with extremely linear response that produces punchy, precise and deep bass frequencies, they benefit from technologies developed for touring class products with a DSP that takes care of crossover, equalisation, phase control, soft limiting and speaker protections.
These are great portable speakers from one of the most well respected loudspeaker manufacturers in the world.

Powerful Class D Amplifiers
RCF's Class-D power amplifier technology packs huge performance operating with high efficiency in a lightweight solution. ART 7 amplifiers deliver ultra-fast attack, realistic transient response and impressive audio performance. The amplifier features a solid mechanical aluminium structure which not only stabilises the amplifier during transportation but also helps the fan-less heat dissipation. All the ART 7 amplifiers present SMPS power supply section in order to produce maximum output and minimum transportation weight.
Superior Transducers
Lightweight and powerful, RCF drivers are a true reference for high performance. All transducers are designed by RCF engineers in Italy for maximum reliability and perfectly matched components.
High Frequencies - The new 1.75" compression driver voice-coil design with Polyimide-Kapton dome features a new bonding technology and reinforced ribs making it 10 times more durable than previous designs. The redesigned phase plug increases sound clarity, enhancing transient response and improving coupling with the low-frequency transducer.
Low Frequencies - Low-frequency transducer design gains more stability over higher currents, with less distortion, and is highly efficient in terms of heat dissipation. RCF quality control is very strict. Our woofers are tested with a 200 hours continuous signal to stress the transducer at extreme levels. Only the best woofer design can fit ART 7.
Experience The Depths of Sound
XBoost unlocks the profound low frequencies concealed within ART speakers. With a simple activation from the speaker's rear panel, immerse yourself in a rich tapestry of bass that pounds with exceptional clarity and control. Whether you're seeking subtle background music or an enriched sonic experience for your mix, XBoost delivers an astonishing perception of deepened bass, ensuring that every note retains its pristine essence and keeping the woofer excursion under control.
New Perspective On Linearality
RCF speakers are designed using a proprietary and advanced FiR filtering technology, conceived to deliver transparent sound, absolute clarity and perfect stereo images to the listener. The special FiRPHASE filters allow the speaker to achieve coherent distribution of sound for all listeners without phase distortions whilst ensuring minimum latencies to the system.
Andrea Capra describes how RCF's FiR filtering technology improves the sound of their speakers.
