Always at the forefront of the audio industry
Established in 1949 in Reggio Emilia, Italy, RCF has, over the years, established itself as a world leader in
design, production and marketing of high technology Professional Audio products.
The history of the company started with a parallel development of microphone technology as well as
loudspeakers; the early microphone products where highly advanced “Ribbon” designs. This initial
development soon followed a natural progression to start the design and manufacture of innovative
loudspeaker transducer technology.
RCF transducers soon became legendary and for more than 30 years our woofers, midrange and
compression drivers have been used by some very prominent loudspeakers manufacturers worldwide.
During these years we started to design and build active professional loudspeakers. This technology, used
at the time by a few manufacturers in the world, instantly repositioned RCF as an international speaker
manufacturer.
Thanks to our experience and heritage in transducers manufacturing, we have always preferred to design
and construct completely all our own components.
Many years dedicated to research resulted in some notable milestones. RCF was the first company to build
a 300 W commercial amplifier in the mid sixties and, in the same period, the first in Europe to have a high
level Transducer’s Research Centre. During this period we built the first of three anechoic chambers that
represented one of the focal points of our research and development process.

The new loudspeakers design looks aggressive whilst retaining the familiar ART ergonomics and is the result of an extensive
combined functional and acoustic research.
The cabinets of the two-way models are moulded in a special polypropylene composite material and are designed to dampen down
vibrations even at maximum volume settings.
The reflex porting has been resized to offer a better efficiency and all models are equipped with ergonomically designed forged
aluminium handles with rubber handgrip for a better portability.
At the bottom a rugged stainless steel pole mount has been installed.
The new cabinet shape allows every ART 7 Series speaker to be used in the standard configuration as well as in stage monitor mode.
