RCF's Class-D power amplifier technology packs huge performance operating with high efficiency into a lightweight solution. ART 7 amplifiers deliver ultrafast attack, realistic transient response and impressive audio performance. The amplifier features a solid mechanical aluminum structure which not only stabilizes the amplifier during transportation but also helps the fanless heat dissipation.

High Frequencies

• The latest 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.

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.

The ART 7 speakers are the perfect choice for musicians and sound provider alike. Their cabinets are molded from a proprietary polypropylene composite engineered to quell vibrations, even at the highest volume levels. This translates to exceptional reliability and resilience under rigorous stage conditions.

RCF speakers are designed using a proprietary and advanced digital FiR technology, conceived to deliver transparent sound, absolute clarity, and perfect imaging to the listener. The special FiRPHASE filters allow for coherent distribution of sound for all listeners without phase distortions, ensuring minimum latencies in the system.

The sturdy, ergonomic cabinet is easy to carry, thanks to either the handle at the top or the practical handles on both sides. The base of each speaker includes a steel pole socket for mounting on a stand or on a subwoofer pole. Stability and safety are assured. The rear of the cabinet is shaped to also be used as a floor monitor. Internal reinforcement prevents any deformation of the cabinet.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What size is the image circle, will it cover a 33x44mm sensor?

A: This lens' image circle will not cover a 33x44mm sensor.

Q: 2. Does this lens have a rear gel slot?

A: There is no gel slot.

Q: 3. Would a micro 4/3 camera with a zoom lens attached plus another small prime lens fit in the TOP compartment? I plan to put a full size camera and lenses in the bottom compartment.

A: This bag is meant to hold a single camera and 3 lenses. It may not be a good fit when using 2 cameras and additional lenses. We do not recommend it for that. You may want to look at larger bags designed to hold more than 1 camera, such as B&H # CAGBD200EG.

Q: 4. Can a person who is otherwise a die-hard Canon lens fan be satisfied with this Sigma lens? The comparable Canon 11-24mm seems just too expensive.

A: Buying a brand-new lens does not necessarily means you will get a good copy. You will need to test the lens out yourself. If you are lucky, then you will have a good copy. If not, you will need to calibrate it with the DSLR you are using to adjust the sharpness.Unfortunately, I did not get a good copy so I am waiting for USB Dock for Canon EF-Mount Lenses to arrive so that I can use it to calibrate my Sigma lens. I believe once it's calibrated correctly for your DSLR, the sharpness should be as good as the Canon 11-24mm.

Q: 5. Anyone use this on an EOS R?

A: Yes, the Sigma 12-24mm f/4 DG HSM Art Lens for Canon EF will work fine on the Canon EOS R and EOS RP when used with the Canon EF-EOS R adapter. The link for that is, https://bhpho.to/2MaiSuh.
