If you're here, you either own RCF speakers already or you are RCF curious - which one are you?
own the 945a
Own the 910a which I was able to purchase from you. Your help when I was purchasing was key in my decision and I have loved the sound they produce for smaller venues up to 100 people. Love love love my RCF speakers.
Currently have QSC K 12.2’s .We are three and sometimes four piece live band -acoustic guitars, bass , electric lead sometimes mic the Princeton into PA,no drums. Looking for a little smaller set of speakers. Leery of recent QSC problems the last couple years with premature protection mode shutting down in the K.2 series I’ve decided either RCF ART 910 or a Yamaha DXR 10 MK ii. Thoughts?
The crossover on the yamaha is at 2300, vs. 1800 for the RCF. You should have better vocals on the RCF due to that lower crossover@@at4dan201

Probably the best demo video I’ve ever seen!
Concise and great comparison! I’m still a firm believer that a 15” inch is a straight sub, (with the proper xover)
or useless muddy mess!!
Great work!!
@@jeffmitchell9863 wow. Ty for this great feedback!
@16:55 -- I've had EV EKX-12P tops for the last couple of years. I replaced them with 932's for this exact reason. I've got a couple of recurring outdoor events where the EKX tops have struggled to reach the back of the crowd. A/B testing the 12P with the 932 was shocking...the 932 is crystal clear long past the point where the EKX-12P tops get crispy in the mids/highs and start limiting. EKX aren't bad, but the 932's are next level.
Thanks for your feedback!
I would expect that with that 3" compression driver!
I wonder if the EV ETX would have struggled with the outdoor street festival. I know the EV TX1152 passive speakers always get complements when I do outdoor events. Thanks for sharing .
Thanks for the comparison. Have you found that they have a hiss when no audio is passing through? I have heard this from multiple people. Wanting to check before I consider buying. Thanks
Any speaker w this type of output in a plastic box will inevitably have a hiss. It’s just the way a molded box is. To avoid that buy wooden speakers, hope this helps and let us know if you need more at DJSupplyStore.com :-)
Great video Justin really appreciate time and effort to put comparison together. I like the 935 as the sweet spot. I own rcf jmix 8 so I know the quality is superb.
Thanks let us know if we can assist w a purchase at www.djsupplystore.com
How do you like the j mix 8, would a pair of them be good for about 100 people ?
Just switched over from EV to RCF. Compared the EKX 15p to RCF 915 and the RCF won. EKX mid to low end range starts to fade or gets muddy after being ran too hard, rcf sounded perfect the whole way through. I even preferred the 912 over qsc12.
Word - thanks for the comment ✊
Merci pour l'info
APPREEEEECH this breakdown sooo much, bruh!❤❤❤
@@VINZBROWN really glad to hear that it helped
I got the 945 thanks to you! I'm really happy with the sound! They go really well with the Yorkville sub in the punchy settings. There's always someone helping me carry the equipment so the weight doesn't really matter.
That’s great news, glad you love them! We sell gear too so if you want to support us - next time reach out to us at www.djsupplystore.com we would really appreciate it.
Which Yorkville sub did you pair up with the 945?
without watching this I already have a reasonable idea of what the differences are . What we really need is comparisons between these and previous models and of even more interest is ART v NX
👌
I run 932 over 705mk2 subs. Fantastic combo. Was concerned the subs couldn’t keep up with the tops, but that’s not the case.
Run subs and tops at 2 o’clock on volume, never had to push them any harder.
I spoke with an RCF repair tech and he said that RCF recommends to set the speakers at 100%
That's maxx can't go harder :))
@@yonut7 Correct on the speaker…. You control the output on your mixer/controller.
Great video, in ur professional opinion, question , i just sold my ev system only have the etx18 left. Considered going with 2 art932s and 2 905 mk3 subs. Live cover band setting, top 40 and latin as well. Would it be better with just 2 art 945s and 1 905 mk3 or just use the 1 ev etx 18 i have left? We mic everything into the board and also electric drums. What would u suggest? Thanks!
Call or text us, and we will be happy to help! 1888-378-1744 www.djsupplystore.com
thanks for that! a lot of people online say the 945 or nx45 with the 4" voice coil sounds the best of all, especially for vocals. you didn't seem to find that i guess?
We truly did like them all, but we would always prefer a 12" top over a 15" and that's just us. Sound is not objective, plus it's all about using the right tool for the job. The 945 uses brute force, it's deafening for sure but it also has an impressive digital filter to make it sound as clean as a 15" speaker can sound.
We would use it for sound reinforcement only or by themselves at a school event on a field or for outdoor PA needs or something like that. If we were building a private events system we'd go with 932 over subs, either the ART or NX.
what is your impression of the nx32 or nx932 vs ART 932 @@TheDJsGuru
I have the 932's. I was going to get the 945's, but after watching this video, I think i'm good with the 932's.
Glad we could help. Let us know if we can help with the purchase @ djsupplystore.com
I went to a store to do a shootout between the 945 and the 932. The 932 blew the 945 away. The only thing the 945 had going for it was the extra low end. The 932 just hits instantly and to me sounded way better. If you are planning to use subs then buy the 932. The 932 seriously made me question my purchase of the TT 22A MK2!
Different sound - 945 is very overt 932 is cleaner in our opinion but both are great in the right application.
932 is better than the tt22a?
@@antreaskonstantinou8585 Better in terms of performance? It is very close but the TT22A MK2 is ahead HOWEVER the value to performance is definitely with the 932A. Just to give you an idea, in the UK a TT22A MK2 is £2700 each. The 932A is £800 each. Yes with the TT22A MK2 you get a better build quality and a more refined sound however is it worth the extra cost? I would say no.
@uwotm8968 thanks for the detailed response
could you make a video on the NX series as well? I am currently debating if I should get the NX 932, they seem to be the most complete package around. Cost twice as much as I previously planned though, so for my own PA I would need to get by with renting a sub for a while until I can afford that as well
Just get them - djsupplystore.com/products/search/?q=RCF+NX they’re another level better than the 9 series. The cabinet is one of the most important parts of how a speaker sounds. The wood versus ABS makes a difference and it is also tuned differently. Totally worth the extra money if you can get them. We have a bunch available for sale at link above.
Great video brother. I have the Art910a they sound great no distortion. One comment i think you said you have them on linear mode as far as i know linear is to use with subs, try it on boost mode the bass sounds harder its a different sound.
Ty for the feedback! We wanted to keep it flat on purpose for the demo but love that mode too!
Thank you for the review, info, and prospective. Honestly I was having a difficult time picking and deciding on speakers.
I'm new to live music shows in general and I was considering going with a single RCF ART945 or Art985 and skipping out subs for small/tiny venue solo/duo performances to a crowd less than 100.(and potentially at most 150 people if I really try to push for it.)
But now, I think the smarter play would be if I go for an RCF Art912 and getting a complimentary sub.
Would you recommend a JBL PRX 900 subwoofer or EV Subwoofer? or should I go for the RCF Line of subwoofers such as the RCF SUB 702?
Should I settle with 12" sub or maybe just go ahead for an 18" subwoofer?
Of course these decisions mostly depends on the size of my audience, I assume that I should be okay with 12"speaker and 12"sub until my audience size grows and I feel that I need an upgrade for coverage and don't worry too much about tone/sound quality at this price(Because everything sounds good in their own respects and it's subjective).
I want a bit of dancing and a bit of singing so I'm starting to think that this is the best set up for me. It can fill a room and give me what I want in sound quality.
I was considering a RCF Art915 because I really liked the sound but I feel like you're correct about 15" woofer's potential to muddy the clarity of the speaker.
Since the A915 and A912 share the same Compression Driver I assume that I could rest assure that the A912 has the same sound quality just instead being a 12" woofer?
Thanks again for the video information! I'm glad I stopped by to listen to your product review and demonstration. Super useful information for me.
It would be interesting to include the exox j8 or maui 28 g3.
I think the 912 is way louder than the column speakers... Less bass but better spl
Perhaps- thanks for your comment :-)
Great honest review
Ty glad you found it helpful :-)
Is a RCF 912-A enough for house parties without a subwoofer?
I bought the art932’s to replace a set of qsc k12.2’s. The RCFs are simply amazing! They are the best speakers I’ve had. The sound is so pure!
❤️❤️
Hi do you think its worth to get 945? Now i am using 935 i want more power
I think it'd be pretty cool to see the 3-in compression driver with two 10-in woofers. Not sure if that could be something made to fit on a pole and work properly, whether it's an MTM style or tmm style.
I just don't see the point in having a giant Tweeter and then attenuating it because the woofer can't keep up. Two woofers always makes more sense to me, but I'm coming from home audio background and I build speakers the way I mentioned MTM style
Hey mate, for a vocalist wanting to invest in a PA speaker type with mixer to sing House Music through using a wireless mic, would you recommend any of these ?. I have been recommended the Studio Master 121 direct array column here in the UK by my local store, for my needs. Any comparison on specs? Or suggestions?
Obviously the Columns are ideal for upper sound traveling but I am curious about these .
I own the 945, and I used to have the Pioneer XPRS 15 as well. Poor Pioneer, it was truly outclassed by the 945. The sound quality is twice as good as the Pioneer.
Well to be fair. They’re just starting out w speakers and also far less expensive. Wouldn’t have expected them to be close but yes the 945s are freaking awesome!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Great vid! What do you think about the AX version? Is it worth it?
Yes - we would buy 1 reg and 1 AX if we were buying a pair of 910-12-15
Any chance you guys will be doing an art 932 vs NX 932 comparison?
Yes.
Excellent! Looking forward to that. Thanks 👍🏼
Hi, could you please tell me which ones sound better to you between the 932s and the 945s, I mean which ones have better definition and sound more natural please? I used to have Art 500As that I really liked and and I don't seem to find the same sound quality in the videos of these new speakers. I know 15s sound different than 12s but I intend to couple them with subs anyway. So if you could just tell me which sound better between the 932s and 945s or maybe even the 935s I would really appreciate. Thanks a lot in advance. Marc

I just bought 2 Art932s. Very excited. I currently own one rcf 8003 sub woofer. Should I buy a second 8003 or upgrade to 8004?

Which sub fits better with speakers RCF art 932 ? Sub 8003 or 8004 ? Thank you 🤝
Depends on what you’re using them for as always - can use either. Fiscally 8003 and 932 make more sense but if you want the most output 8004 as it’s extremely flexible

Did you heard the art745 before ? If yes, wich one has more bass response in flat mode ,745 or 945 ? Thanks
945 > 745
I've used 945a for over 2.5 yrs extensively. ( 4 to 5 nights a wk )They sound amazing for live bands. First the horn doesn't smear because it's 4 inch voice coil on top and 2nd the crossover is at 650hz. They stay clear as hell. I've done 12 piece bands with these and no problem. At this price range I Highly recommend. And yes I would recommend subs!
❤️
932 without subwoofer works fine? I’m a wedding DJ and I have no more than 150 guests. Or should I go to 945?
if you don’t ever plan on using a subwoofer get the 945
I have the Mackie thumps 215xt and the 15” sub woofer, which was in my budget for my DJ business, but I’m noticing clipping and I’m still new to adjusting sound for my DJ gigs. I’ve been wanting to move towards the qsc 12” and the 12” sub for a somewhat smaller but still pack enough power for small to medium events.
A friend of mine told me about the RCF’s and I’m soooo interested in them that I find myself wanting them and searching for information on them and want to know what I should be looking for in a speaker such as watts, spl, voice coils, rms etc. Plus you mentioned the AX series, I guess I’ll start browsing your videos and website.
We would love to help - reach out at www.DJsupplystore.com or call/text 18883781744
I use a set of the Art 910’s over the RCF 705A 15” SUB and it’s way more then enough for smaller events. You might want to rent out a set before your decision. If you’re looking for a smaller setup for ease of transport look into the RCF EVOX J8’s I have the older model RCF Evox 8 and they are awesome. For small indoor events I’m talking 50 or less I use the smaller Evox 5 it has a 10” sub but indoors these little guys punch above their weight.
The difference between A and AX series is just that AX has all that DSP junk integrated that you don't need if you have even a basic mixer. Absolutely go with 932-A with a bigger compression driver, rather than the 912-AX.
@@DestroyerOfLiberals I would have to look into them and try to find a spot to hear them.
Just yesterday I ordered two 932s and two 8004s. 😮

Great video as a solo singer who does mainly small - medium rooms I think I'm going for 2 932's - worked thru some RCF art 712-A yesterday and they were great but fancy the newer better 932's will let you know how I get on
Leaving my comment here so I can come back and read your response on them
All our gear is RCF. I watched a Brian S Redd video quite some time ago where he was complementing the quality of sound from his Art 312's so I purchased a pair for my younger brother. Since then my son has become interested in DJ'n so I purchased him 2 set's of Evox speakers the 5's and the 8's. These speakers have performed perfectly for the smaller gigs that we were doing. As my son became better we reinvested his money into new speakers as now he was performing at HS dances, so we needed separate subs. We picked up the 915's, 910's and 2 Sub 705's. I'd like to say that even the entry level 915's rocked HS dances alone with no sub. Great sounding speaker. We've used just the 910'2 and one sub for block parties here in San Francisco again they worked great for what we needed. Next month he has a homecoming dance that we plan on using both subs for the first time with the 915's. I've yet to even test run them. I expect them to rock. We've been extremely happy with both the Evox and the ART series line up. I did have one issue though. At a HS club day I had the Evox 5's for background sound in a smallish courtyard and an amp went out. That is currently getting repaired. The output of the single Evox 5 was sufficient for what was needed. Great products.
Brian is a great guy, we love him :-) Thanks for your comments and for sharing your story!
Bro since you own them I’d be very curious to know one thing:
Let’s say I run the art 915 on one side and the art 910 on the other.
The art 915 plays full range, meanwhile the art 910 plays with an highpass filter.
I turn both of them up to limit.
Of course the bass is going to be stronger on the 915.
But in this specific configuration, which speaker is going to be the loudest mids and highs at max?
@@Les_Gõr I’ve never ran them together but my guess is they would sound similar except for the bass, as they have the same amplifier and tweeter.
@@user-UnMagico So basically An art 910 with highpass filter (no bass) will sound as loud as an art 915 full range?
I was hoping that it could go much louder, since the bass uses a lot of energy, so when you get rid of them it should have a lot more headroom and power.
Hope to find some more information about that
Awesome video! Would love to hear your thoughts on the HDM45 if you have one available for you to test. I always wondered how it stacked up to the 945
It's almost identical - just trades off the RDNET on HDM for the nicer box on ART9 at same price - Thanks for watching! Maybe we do HD soon :-)
@@TheDJsGuru Ah i got it. Yeah i figured they were similar. An HD line up video would be nice!
@@MrMaui38 it’s on our site as blog article thedjsguru.com/rcf-hd10a-hd12a-hd15a-and-hdm45-a-d-line-powered-speaker-overview/
What do you recommend for a subwoofer for the rt 912a or the 932 speaker?
If 1 sub or less watts and have 2 subs?
thank you
@@djleomiami 👍
Isn't 1.75" a better tweeter size? I thought 3" would be too large for a tweeter?
@@Iceking007 ty for your comment. It’s not a Tweeter. It’s a compression driver. Inherently, the larger It is the more air it can compress. The more air that is compressed the longer distance it will throw. That being said better really depends on what your needs are but when it comes to RCF typically their larger compression driver speakers are their “Better” ones.

Hey, love your video. I have an interesting/different question...I'm looking to pick up speakers and a mic set for a elementary school. I've been around a lot of DJ's (as a wedding videographer) over the last 15+ years. Got to know quite a bit about sound...so when I noticed my kids school had a very poor sound system and I heard they were gonna upgrade, I spoke up and now I'm sorta in charge of getting them a great set of speakers and a couple wireless mics (with good range and solid battery life). They'd have a loose budget of around $5k. Well, they were originally saying $10k but when I spoke up and said, "you don't need to spend that much to get great sound" they went "you're hired!" (sorta). Anyway, they want portable, so they had purchased a single Bigfoot 2 speaker system. But it just wasn't doing it and they really needed two speakers to cover their outdoor events that this is being used for. A few hundred kids/parents (always) outdoors during various holidays. So I figured a couple RCF speakers, a cart (or some way to make it easy on them to roll out and roll back into the office after each event...thoughts?) and then a couple good wireless mics (shure?) that sound good, etc etc. I'd get them a simple mixer too, but there's no real "sound person" there so I was trying to keep it simple with less cables and cords for them to get by. So maybe a couple of 915AX speakers? Your 912AX wasn't as "rich" as the 932 in your review so maybe the 915AX would make up for that?? Or I could do one of those AX models and another ART932/945 or two 932's or even two 945's? Simplicity helps elementary teachers which is why the BT option might help. As for mics, they really just run 1-2 mics and some music from their phones for most of their events but dependability and quality is key so I'd rather spend more if it'll help them. Also it's not my money. Lol. So keep it simple & portable for this application...and you got $5k (or maybe a little more if necessary) to spend...what would you do?
Not sure if you’ve purchased speakers yet. I can speak from experience that a pair of the ART 915’s is more then enough . I have used these speakers for High school assemblies on the football field. The ART series 910/912/915 all have the same amp and tweeter. If you went with a set of the 910’s ($1500) they would be the most portable and manageable. If you wanted more low end you could add a sub for about +$1300. RCF SUB 705as mk3. You could add Xvive U3 dual Bluetooth transmitter/receiver for $400’s. This will save about 4-500. If the teachers used their phones for music there always the chance that a call/Alerts might come through.
RCF F10 XR is a good option for a mixer a used one can be picked up for $260.00 from pro audio star. They could connect a computer to the mixer.
A set of Ultimate Support TS 100B air assisted speaker stands. $300. Mics: Shude BLX288 dual mic setup. $600. Pig hog XLR cables have a great warranty. These can be purchased on Amazon. At this point we’re at about 4500. before taxes. Since this setup is going to be for outside assemblies you might want to consider a portable battery/ inverter. Check out ECOFLOW Delta Pro a refurbished one can be purchased from ECOFLOW with a manufacturer’s warranty on Ebay for about $2000. This battery has 3600 Wh. I’ve used two batteries/ inverters totaling to 2500 Wh and powered a set of 910’s and a 15” sub for over 6 hours at a block party and still had about 20% of power still available. The battery can be used for other applications. (Blackouts) All of this can fit on a rock n roller stealth r12 cart. ($300) Ebay. All this gear is about $6800 beore taxes. Good luck let us know what you decide to do. I hope this helps. I almost forgot covers for the speakers $200 the great thing about these covers is that they stay on the speakers all the time they have flaps where the stands go. Now we’re at $7000.
@@user-UnMagico Thank you for the reply!! Really appreciate it. I ended up getting them 2 RCF ART 915AX speakers as their main speakers and then 2 RCF ART 932-a speakers as two additional speakers for their bigger events that need 4 speakers. I also go them the Shure SLXD24D/SM58 dual mic setup and a small mixer for the bigger events when they'll need it and a bunch of cables and a couple rolling carts to easily move stuff around. B&H gave some nice educational discounts which saved more than $1000 easy. Oh, I also got them a Jackery 2000 plus because I knew it'll come in handy when they don't wanna run extension cables all over the place. I love spending other people's money. Kept it all under $10k. We just ran it the other day out on the fields and it sounded awesome. A LOT more bass than I expected. I mean, outdoors is always tough but this was pretty damn impressive how far I could push it so I was happy. I just played Taylor Swift and the kids thought I was the best DJ on the west coast. ;)
On the 945 the word what came out as if it were right beside you or like someone close to the camera. Didn't sound like it was coming from so many feet away.
Ok
Nice video but having a mic or cell phone mic in a stationary location will be easier to compare the sound. moving mic or cell phone change the signal inputs
Agreed. We do the best we can w what we have :-)
Yes, good review but there were times when you were holding your camera (phone?) at 45 degrees to the speakers, so my left ear was getting far more signal than my right. Maybe you could consider a good quality external mic or Zoom recorder etc on a stand to capture audio if you're planning any more of these kind of reviews. Of course, what we hear is only as good as what we're listening on, so your commentary is most valuable as you're the one actually experiencing the sound. @@TheDJsGuru
Wondering if you can do a TT series comparison against the 9 Series?
2 935A or 2 j8’s 🤔
What would be the best option for outdoor events 200 people? Any ideas?
Is there a 3rd option? Can we maybe do a pair of 910s or 912 and SUB705 or SUB708 combo?
PS - reach out to us at 1-888-378-1744 call or text for more advice and a great deal :-)
Thanks for the reply. Trying to save a little space. Will contact
can you hear an audible hiss from the 932 when turned up past 75%?? mine does and i want to see if its just the nature of the speaker
Any plastic box will usually have a hiss at some point with this kind of SPL, totally normal. One disadvantage of molded plastic vs wood
Saw a busker using an RCF 10# - didn't get the model number - powered with an Ecoflow River 2 battery, sounded great. I know as a DJ you're probably listening to speakers based on music quality. Since I'm a singer using backing tracks, I'm wondering if you've ever assessed speakers based on the quality of sound for vocals, which might be subtly different than that of music? Do you have any recommendations for and 8 or 10" speaker, powered or battery powered, that is preferred by vocalists for clarity and tone of their singing?
RCF ART 910-A or HD 10-A. There's also TT 10-A if you have deep pockets - I have these myself and they are phenomenal.
Would a compromise between taking the least amount of gear to a gig but also getting the most/best low end be a pair of 915a's? I don't have the budget or van space for subs.
Your reviews are incredible! Quick question..looking to upgrade our current QSC K.2 w/18" sub. We have a vocal quartet with full band. Bass singer is JD Sumner level. All singers powerhouse. Average venue churches 300 - 800 people. We want the BEST vocal quality speaker, the LIGHTEST for best quality and price is no object. We are looking for speakers that will produce absolute best vocal quality possible, support a bass singer that can go off piano, cover average audience of 400-500 inside and the lightest possible with no road crew. Thinking about RCF 932 W/8003 SUB? Is there anything better to fit the above parameters I should look at or would that fit the bill? Fidelity/sound quality #1 priority and light as possible on weight #2 priority. Thanks.
I work in 2 bands as a bassist and I roll all the production. I currently have a JBL VRX array setup, but it's a lot to move for smaller gigs. I also do some scaled down 2 pc where I use a pair of 1x12 Headrush FRFR speakers for FOH (not very loud gigs). My needs are somewhat similar to what some DJ's have said, which is I want to be able to have a setup with just 2 speakers that can do a decent job without a sub as this is becoming more and more the case. Generally these are 2-3pc gigs, no amps (all direct), sometimes dampened acoustic drums. With a set of JBL PRX815s that I tried, its almost enough, but not quite. So I'm wondering compared to that speaker, would the 932 with boost on be enough to push a little more low end over the JBL? It this point, I am really torn between the 932 and 945. That being said, in this economy, I'd prefer to save a few dollars if possible. What's your opinion?
My opinion is that 932 has tight and punchy bass, goes low and does not muddy of the mids like a 15 will.
So what speaker did you ended up buying?
Would two pairs of the 732s over subs do a 300 to 500 seat outdoor venue for rock bands?
Depends but definitely possible. Give us a call or text at 888-378-1744 and we can help you with advice and a great deal at djsupplystore.com
My big doubt is between the rcf 932 and the rcf Hd32a. They look very similar in terms of characteristics, and the sound?
We did a video on that ruclips.net/video/zkMs0ikDxX8/видео.htmlsi=d7iw0ez2g__WYiyk
They also just came out with the NX 932 speakers. That will be interesting to see. Having wood cabinets makes it heavier but interested in seeing some reviews on them. RCF also upgraded their subs.
Do you know if any of these speakers have a way to mount lighting on top? Is there a fly point or M10 fitting or something like the QSC K12.2?
Not from the factory but anything is possible.
How can you test speakers without vocal songs
You just watched the video - that’s how :-)
RCF NX 915-SMA
What do you think about this one…. is it good for front of House?
Yes for sure
Can I pair a set of rcf 905’s with art 935s?
@@teddyhenderson6674 sure. But it would be a better match w 910 or 912.
Exactly which speaker stands are you using?
Gravity LS431 and ProX X Polaris - both available at www.djsupplystore.com :-)
@@TheDJsGuru Thank you! those are the ones I am considering for smaller spaces. If you have used them for Gigs how have they been stability wise? Also...do they have any wobble?
What rfc subwoofer is a good match with the art912a 12inch speakers that match great?
705 subs. I have 912s and the 705 is the perfect match, size, look and sound wise.
@@bryanfontezfor which kind of event do you use them ? I am currently looking for a new sound system. I don’t know yet if I have to choose the 712 with 705 for the price. Mayve I should buy 732 or 932 but I mainly work for wedding …
Weddings as well for me. 705s work great. Smaller and lighter but still alot of punch.
I used them last week at a wedding with 200 ppl.
I have the 7 series. I love em
Also great.
Ok a question could you compare the hdm 45a, nx45a & the art945
Are you a Canadian DJ?
Any suggestions my RCF ART12 swivel alone. I use ultimate support speaker poles and used them recently for a gig, the speakers would do a 180 just with the bass of the music, I found them completely facing away from the dance floor, annoying to adjust during the event
910 A, are very good or?
What is that song pls.?.Nice comparison.thanks
Haha these are my fave type of comments, which song? I get all my youtube and vlog music from (Free plug here) www.ARTLIST.IO
Hallo!
Rcf hd 32 or 932?
Thx

I hear the 912 has more bass than the 932. Not sure if it's due to listening over RUclips or something but the 932 seems a little more flat...less punchy bass
RCF art 932a to cichy głośnik ! Mam RCF 932 A, porównałem go z Yamahą DZR 12. RCF 932 ma ładniejszy dźwięk do przodu, yamaha jest zabłocona do tyłu. RCF 932 to cichy głośnik, Yamaha DZR ma mega moc, z pewnością jest dwa razy mocniejsza! Postaram się wymienić RCF na 945. Gram na imprezach na 400 osób, używam basu Yamaha XLF, ale boję się, że RCF932 się spali, bo jest już na granicy lat. W budynku zamknięto imprezy. Problem polega na tym, że kupujesz 2 czeki rcf 932 lub 945.
👍
@@brenhamkoontz158 The speaker's tweeter driver is delicate. The 12-inch speaker itself, e.g. 932, is not suitable for gaming, it must work with SUBBAS, otherwise it will fall apart. Turbosound IQ is louder than any RCF series :-) I'm waiting for the new RCF series that will have more power. //there is an opinion that the old RCFs were great, and the new ones... we don't want them.
Thanks
❤️
@@TheDJsGuru i dont like so much the RCF 912 A with loud music they sound "dirt" bad sound also with mixer in Green volume output.
thanks
@@P4JJP 👍
945 gave bigger, better driver compression.
@HWR-g9d that’s correct
Try the Martin’s Blackline 15” , it would be a diferent world ..
Martin makes phenomenal product agreed
My RCF Art 935A with Sub RCF 8003 ii sounds amazing bro...
💪💪
Thanks 👍🏾

Not a big fan of the 9 series. I think overall the 7's are better. That said, the NX910's are great. All of that is obviously relative because it's RCF so it's going to be good regardless...I'll take my HDM 45's over anything I've heard from the 9 series.
What do you feel is better about the 7 series?
@@jonathandavis3747 Honestly - I can't quite define it in words, it just works better for my ears I guess, so when I combine it with the lower price it's a no brainer for me, but since we're talking about a great company here, you're going to get a great product no matter what and then it's just about personal taste ?...
Esperamos la reseña de los subs AX
WHATS THE RMS ON THE ART912 ?
This video fell apart when you decided to play that raucous, awful music so close to the source. You trying to talk over the speakers sounded like a fist-fight in a phone booth. 😅
Good choice of quality PA speakers though.
Review of a review. 👏 well done
@@TheDJsGuru Subscribed. Keep up the quality gear choices. Sneak some bargain stuff in there too. I’m looking for movers and light bars. Can’t decide on off-brand movers vs. the likes of Chauvet Intimdators or possibly JMaz Attco’s.
Sub for the 932
That track gave me cancer
@@Domenooch of the ear? 👂😜
@@TheDJsGuruExactly
Nice review. Lose the gum.
If anyone can reply?
Art 912 and 932
Does 912 push more bass than 932?
@thedjsguru did you find more bass in 912 while playing the same song!
Or
Any who owns 912 and 932, please reply!
Thanks
@@gagandeepkangarh8884 no exactly the same amp and woofer- 932 just will give you an increase in mid and high range output
@@TheDJsGuru thank you so much! Much appreciated!
Can you do some reviews on rcf art 932 and NX 932!
No single video available on RUclips! Lot of folks want to see
@@gagandeepkangarh8884 what would you like to know? There really isn’t a major audible difference between them, so it comes down to the better wooden box or the lighter abs one
@@TheDJsGuru just wondering if wood would play more bass?
@@gagandeepkangarh8884a little bit, yes. But only noticeable if you A-B them. By themselves there’s no practical difference.
