RCF will be showing newly developed products for both their Professional and Commercial catalogues — with the flagship being the UK debut of the VSA 2050 Digital Steerable Column.

Visitors will be given a special sneak preview of this groundbreaking, multi-amplified vertical steerable array which embraces the new generation of digital technology.

With inbuilt DSPs, the audio signal sent to each speaker is processed and optimised for controlling its vertical acoustic dispersion pattern. This will make it the ideal speaker for indoor installations where the critical acoustic environment is an issue and where moderate visual impact is required.

Also showing under the RCF Professional banner will be examples from the new ART 4 Series, and the NX 10-SMA and NX 12-SMA.

The ART 4 Series is the new addition to the worldwide famous ART series portable speakers from RCF that combine the audio quality and toughness of the ART 3 Series with the latest digital Digipro amplification technology developed for the ART 7 Series.

The new speakers are equipped with a powerful DSP which manages crossover, EQ., soft limiter, compressor and dynamic boost bass. The ART 4 Series models feature two special equalisation presets: Extended Frequency Response, which slightly emphasises the bass response for playback music and low volume applications, and Linear Frequency Response, for live music applications.

The newly designed 400W digital amplifiers (300W for the low frequencies and 100W for the compression driver) coupled with the unique RCF transducer technology, make the ART 4 Series a cutting edge product, suitable for any portable sound reinforcement applications.

The NX Series stage monitors have been conceived as a modular and flexible, addition to any audio rental company’s inventory. The new additions for 2010 are the NX 10-SMA and NX 12-SMA active coaxial stage monitors — low profile, compact and containing powerful digital Digipro amplifiers. By including a 35mm pole mount into the cabinet design, it is also possible to use them as a compact FOH system.

New from RCF’s Commercial Audio division is the ES3323 three-zone CD/USB MP3 player amplifier — packing all the features of a complex rack system in a small and user-friendly product.

The 320W system offers the capacity to manage paging and programme sources into three separate audio zones.

The activation of announcements and music as well as the regulation of the sound levels can be handled independently for each of the three constant voltage speaker lines, while a direct speaker output is available for general purposes.

In addition to the built-in CD/USB-MP3 player and RDS FM tuner, there is an additional switchable Aux input for the connection of a Line level source and four universal inputs can be managed with configurable priorities and chime.

The ES3323 contains powerful Class D switching power supply technology but the player can also be connected to an external power amplifier in order to preserve the music programme during announcements in the areas not involved by paging.

A remote control facility will adjust master and BGM levels, and internal and external sources can be switched at the touch of a button.

Finally, RCF extend their Commercial range with the recently launched 2000 Series of audio mixer and power amplifiers.
