Overview

A 12" powered speaker with 1400W peak output and wide coverage.

The RCF ART 812-A 12" 2-way powered speaker is designed for live sound applications that require a balance of output, portability and versatility. Equally suited for main PA duties at parties, weddings, worship services, acoustic performances and small live events or as a high-output stage monitor, it delivers professional performance from a compact enclosure. Its 1400W peak Class-D bi-amplifier powers a 12" woofer with a 2.5" voice coil and a 1" compression driver with a 1.75" voice coil, producing up to 129dB max SPL with a 50Hz–20kHz frequency response. RCF FiRPHASE processing, XBoost low-frequency enhancement and a 100-degree x 60-degree True Resistive Waveguide help the ART 812-A provide balanced coverage, clear sound reproduction and solid low-frequency support for portable PA, installed sound and live reinforcement.

Bi-Amplified Power With Integrated DSP

The ART 812-A uses a 1400W peak Class-D bi-amplified design that separately powers its low- and high-frequency drivers for efficient performance and consistent output. Its DSP platform includes a 1600Hz crossover, thermal and RMS protection, a soft limiter and controls for volume, Boost and Mic/Line operation. FiRPHASE processing helps optimize phase response for more coherent sound, while XBoost enhances perceived low-frequency depth when the speaker is used as a full-range cabinet without a subwoofer.

12" Woofer With Controlled Coverage

The 12" woofer gives the ART 812-A a practical balance of low-frequency extension, vocal clarity and portability for small bands, DJs, rehearsal rooms, houses of worship, corporate events and mobile sound providers. A 1" compression driver handles high-frequency detail, while RCF's True Resistive Waveguide maintains consistent 100-degree horizontal and 60-degree vertical coverage. This controlled dispersion pattern helps distribute sound evenly throughout the listening area while supporting intelligible speech, clear vocals and defined music playback.

Reinforced Cabinet for Flexible Deployment

The ART 812-A uses a black PP composite cabinet with internal M-brace reinforcement to improve structural stability and reduce cabinet resonance at higher output levels. A steel grille protects the drivers, while top and side handles, a 35 mm pole mount and 2 M10 hardware points support portable, wall-mounted, truss-mounted or flown installation setups. Measuring 25" high, 14.56" wide and 14.3" deep while weighing 41.89 lb., the RCF ART 812-A 12" 1400W 2-way powered speaker combines ART Series portability, DSP-enhanced performance and versatile deployment options for professional live-sound applications.
