Im really glad you covered the sound quality benefits of a 12" top cab or smaller. Ive never heard a 15" cab that sounded as clean as a 12". Maybe they exist at megabucks. As Im all about the sound, I was hoping you might talk about two other things. 1) The difference in sound signature between the HD and Art9s. I bet they are voiced differently. Earlier versions of the HD12s had titanium compression drivers so its a surprise theyve been dropped now. 2) The audio differences between speakers with smaller or larger compression drivers when used on that 20x20 standard dancefloor you mentioned. In my experience, speakers with bigger compression drivers and voice coils tend to sound less refined and "hifi" than those with smaller ones when used like this. So, its not ONLY that theres no advantage in spending the money, they'll actually sound worse. Obviously, the advantage you get with those bigger voice coils is, as you say, for filling bigger rooms and throwing sound but that big, long-throw sound is often quite shouty and crude.
at the end it is all about your ears and needs after hearing a lots of pa from all sizes for my privet events i ended with pair of 935 the sound quality and fidelity is simply amazing and balanced (i am using rcf mixer and apple macbook as source) for 15" sound full body and very punchy
Love my RCF ART 910-A. I had QSC K10.2 and the 4th or 5th time they quit working due to protection software I'd had enough. This was only using them with synths and some vocals for band practice. Not being heavily pushed at all.
I swear by my HDM 45's and biggest reason is that I think it gives me the best ability to do as large events as possible without using any subwoofers. The base on those things is just amazing. So although obviously bigger and heavier than 10's and 12's, overall it ends up saving me space and weight on 90% of my events since I have really zero need for subwoofers. These speakers are absolutely amazing.
@@TheDJsGuru Do these RCFs (ART and HD) get warm during use? I have a pair of Electro Voice ZLX, and the back plate where the amp is located gets extremely hot after 15 minutes of use.
@@h.m.2434Hi, i have RCF 935a, and it get very hot when using speaker, but the sound doesn't change at all, no distortion or something similar, but backplate is very hot, even when it is just on and not playing anything it get very hot, i think that's ok, it's designed to be like that so in my opinion it is ok. I'm using it like 1.5 year and it is perfectly fine.
@@drapops5407 Thanks for the information. I ended up buying a pair of RCF ART about 2 weeks ago. The sound signatures are slightly different from each other but both brands are very good at what they do. I can see why they have lots of fans 👍
Great video I was a little uncertain about the 3in and 4in horn difference so I appreciate your explanation. As far as woofer size I have always had a fifteen in my arsenal. My rcf j8 have being perfect so I know the quality is there period. Next year it's all about dj furniture for me to change my presentation. Thanks again for the time and effort it takes to produce these videos.

Thanks for great reviews. I hope RCF will consider adding the X to ART 945-A the Bluetooth and Mixer option is great functionality and will definitly make me buy the ART 945-A.
Exceptionally informative video! I'm replacing my old Yamaha DXR15s and wanted something comparable, though everyone I've spoken to has lauded the RCF ART 9 series versus the Yamahas and the RCF ART 7 series. Your video has cemented my choice and, although I'd love lighter speakers, I'm choosing the 935's. Thanks for your expert opinion and continued support of our community!
I will say that I listened in depth to all of the speaker brands at the DJ Expo in 2015 and 2016. Back then it was the RCF Art 745, and the new JVOX column arrays they were promoting. The Clarity and definition out of RCF Speakers beats out every other big brand that DJs use! Also, the throw on the ART Series is SOOOO LONG. As far as quality of sound. RCF Blows away JBL, EV, QSC, DAS, Alto, Mackie, Bose. The closest was Yamaha...they were 2nd best in quality imo, but RCF took the crown on Quality of Sound imo both years that I walked around and spent hours listening to speakers at the booths!
Okay okay, I know the Art9 series is the brand new but you know that the HD series have a HD 32 with a 3 inch compression driver neodymium.... You need to do a real comparison with the same model... I love RCF speakers when I see your video I think it's going to be great but you need to update the information, it's wrong the way you say it... Art932 versus HD 32 or HD 32 versus Art9 12 !
This was perfect and one of my favorite brands I’ve owned Rcf hd 12a mk4 Rcf 745 mk4 amazing the hd was perfect for most events the 745 is aggressive better for big events and outdoors
please elaborate on the woofer size in-depth. How would woffer above 12 inch effect other frequency ranges? and how does putting them on the ground fix the issue? 11:08
@@TheDJsGuru Thank you. So it seems the 15" woofer boost actually, takes away the mid range frequency because it shares the same cabinet. But low range frequency is produced at a slower pace than the mid range. P.S. is my use of the word "cabinet"right?
Also, there is a weight difference between the ART series, and the HD series. HD10 speakers only weigh 26 lbs! HD12 MK5 speakers weigh 40.34 lbs. Art 910 weighs 35 lbs, and the Art912 weighs 41.9 lbs. Big Weight difference between the 10" speakers at 9 lbs difference. The 12" Speakers almost weigh the same between the two series which I find interesting! If Weight and portability is a concern, go with HD10 over the Art 910. If you compare the 12s against each other, well, a 1.9 lb weight savings is minimal, so maybe the ART912 is worth looking at over the HD12 if budget also isn't much of a concern!
Hi, greetings from Serbia. I have two RCF 935-A and they are just perfect for live gigs, i have a band of four musicians, i play Korg Kronos, second musician play Korg PA4x, and there are two singers, male and female. And the sound is so rich, the bass is punchier then ART 7 series in my opinion, it has that kick like woofer, everything from this 935-A speaker come out beautifully, very very good speaker.
Hey I’ve heard the amps work with 115 volts and our power surges and conditioners work with 120 and allow up to 135 to go in protection mode. What have you experienced with the 945a? How reliable are they? I’ve heard they burn because of what I mentioned above.
I have 2x 932, 4x 912, 2x 910 and 1x 935 (bass guitar monitor) and the 932 is the best speaker for me for FOH paired with 2x or 4x db SUB918 (80Hz crossover) but 2x 910 can also work with 2x 918sub. I bought db SUB 918 because are about the same thing with RCF 8003 II which are very rare in Europe :( you have to wait months to get them.. Love the combination and the band is very happy. You are right! Best speakers for whats above 70-80-100hz are 12" or 10", even 8" because they can reproduce the voice and instruments much better than a 15" speaker which is harder to move/push. 15"/18" are for subs, not for speakers!!!
We have found that most companies that have to boast about a warranty usually don’t have the best product. That said - RCF is 3 years but you’ll likely never need it.
My needs are predominately outdoor where I need to throw a lot of sound. I also play a lot of bass heavy tunes. The 935/945 was sounding like the ticket but now I’m doubting that decision. Have you tested the 935 & 945 and come to the same negative conclusion on 15” woofers? ( I’m wondering if that lower crossover may alleviate some of those frequency issues)
😒 🤔 I never thought of using a 12in speaker but you make a great point. I definitely will give it try using a 12 instead of the 15 lol. Thanks for that input info!!!
12's plus subs if you want strong, clean vocals for live sound. But the mk5's do offer as much if not more low end than I've ever heard from a 12"... from a plastic box, no less.
@@TheDJsGuru Incorrect what you don’t stand in front and listen to vocal quality in sound check of your Mastered DJ music (even though not live) and not get excited and impressed by that? sure you do and the audience (even though not technical) would appreciate the more natural sound.
I appreciate your info & detailed review. I’m a mobile DJ for about 2 years now & have been getting consistent gigs so in the market of upgrading my ALTO TS315s. I heard some ART 912s in person & was blown away, didn’t realize that was their entry speaker into the series. Definitely researching more to reinforce my sound.
I got an rcf 910 in my house, I got bored with the jbl 310 and I was surprised rcf 40% sound and jbl, you can't hear how much power it has, the sound and quality of the high quality colonels and even the bass has much more, but it's my first purchase, so it's very good for me😂 I use the 910 without a mixer xlr y aux and phone arva tv plancete😂
What you said about 12 being snappy vs the 15s is dependent on the voice coil size. A 15” woofer with a 2.5” voice coil may be less snappy or slower than a 12. except woofers like the rcf art 945s have a 3.5” voice coils and neo magnets. It makes a big difference. After hearing them all side by side the 945 blew away the rest of the art series. Just my opinion but I definitely think that Rcf’s 15” woofers are pretty amazing compared to others.
Also another thing to note is that because of the 4” titanium compression driver in the 945, the crossover is set at 650hz. So the hf driver is handling almost all of the vocal range. That was another I noticed when listening.
I finally bought the 945a. One of the speakers came with a dent on the grill. I noticed your art seems to have a dent too. Is that common with these? I think from touching it that the grill is not that strong. Am I right?
I have Mackie 750s( 15 in woofers) They are almost 20 yrs old and ready for replacement. They weigh a ton and a Mackie 18 thumb sub, weighs a ton as well and is bulky. As a drummer who needs and desires a good bottom groan if I may since I also play edrums as well as acoustic. Can I go with the ART 912s with the RCF 705s or 708s and make it work well for a cover band playing mainly bar gigs with some occasional outdoor venues? I certainly want to have better components but also do not want to waste my money. Thanks!
Damn nice info :) Althought hdm 45 being generaly hd series speaker, litteraly detrone any art series sub exept tt25 wich is above it couse its just wood... weird but cool 😅
the only reason bass coming from anything smaller than 18" subs should be happening is due to the inability to transport them, or for aesthetic purposes.. No 15" sub will sound BETTER than it's 18" counterpart..
I'm guessing you've figured this out by now but it's the same speaker but the nx has a wooden cabinet so yes its a better overall speaker but the other components are the same
What do you think about live performances for guitar and vocals? The HD or the Art series? I bought the hd10a mk5 and now im a bit with buyers remorse, maybe I should have opted for the art910. Because they are almost the same price and the art910 on paper are much more powerful than the hd10a, 800w vs 2100w.and bigger high frequency driver, 1 inch vs 1,75 inches.
I narrowed it down to the HD 10" and ART9 10" and the HD won purely due to weight. I have a lower back and knee problem and the fact that the HD 10 is less than 12kg was a no brainer. I'll live with the fact that the ART9 is a bit louder and my back/knee will thank me in the long term!
We would prefer 2 10s w 2 705 or 905 subs but if we are choosing between your options we would go w the 10s and single sub without a doubt. Reach out to us and we will be happy to guide you thedjsguru.com/contact-the-djs-guru/
RCF HD line is NOT the cheapest line, ART line is the cheapest. What are you talking about here?? RCF ART 712 mk4 is 150/200€ cheaper than HD12 mk5. ART series that you talk aboyt is 932 not 912 .. 932 is much expensive only and only because of the 1.4" neodymium HF driver with 3" voice coil, not the box! What are sayng that the art box is stronger than HD series? Man, you are def not know info.. HD series have much more voice clear than art series, i have both series, you are the first one who clamied that HD series is the cheapest one 😂😂😂
Yes that is right - ART7 is still available but it’s not less expensive. For example HD10mk5 $599 USD MAP ART710 $699 USD Map - maybe you misread something somewhere or there’s a currency difference🤷♂️- as far as the rest of your comments you’re more than entitled to your opinion as are we.

Ciao . Ti scrivo dall' Italia. Devo comprare una coppia di diffusori per un band con tastiera , chitarra , e voci sono live, mentre la batteria e il basso le mando in sequenza con base. Ho mandato email a Thomann per capire quale fosse la differenza tra le art 912 e le HD 12 e questa e la sua risposta che incollo direttamente: Buongiorno, di seguito la risposta dei nostri esperti: Entrambi gli altoparlanti non tolgono molto alla qualità del suono. Ad ogni modo suggeriamo le Rcf HD 12 MK V, poiché sono un po' più potenti e dettagliate. Per ulteriori dubbi o chiarimenti non esiti a ricontattarci. Ora dico , ma le 912 non sono loro più potenti ? Non sto capendo più nulla Comunque volevo un consiglio da te se fare come ha dato risposta Thomann con i loro esperti. Grazie se mi risponderai Un saluto da Catania , Sicily, italy

I got an Adapter that Converts a 15" to a 12 " So when i am running 18s I`ll take out the 15" and put in the 12" When im not using the 18" Then I convert them back to 15s More than one way to skin a chicken
@@emj9927 The ART 910 A is the superior live/dj speaker that uses the best 10 inch 2 way on the planet, however it comes at a cost. The old ART 710A MK4 is almost twice as less and also a great speaker. I used to have those until my back problem (now i have 17lb JBL IRX108) I didnt lose but $50 each when I sold them so the resale is the best in the business. The other alternative is the RCF HD Series, The HD10A MK5. It doesnt have the old fashioned horn look but looks like any other speaker and IMO is on the same level as JBL Eons or EV EKX Series. If you just a busker, the ART 710A is the way to go, its loud, sounds great and outperforms any speaker in it class for a reasonable amount of $$$
@@oldschooldjernie Agree and good summary. Yeah, my back can't lift the heavy speakers anymore so I may opt for the RCF HD10A MK5 or even the 710a. The 910a is just too heavy at 9 lbs heavier than the HD10a. I really like that the crossover on the 710a is at 1600HZ too, however not that crazy about the open grill look of the 710a. A little ugly in my opinion.
When it Comes to these two speakers ones not Better than thee other I could make either of those speakers Rock!!!!!! And if i was up All Night Crying Because As you say the Art has a better Hi Freq Driver Then Guess What???!!!!!!!!! ILL CHANGE THE DRIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is all great stuff. We literally did a 912/932/945 testing today.
@@TheDJsGuru ooh nice! Can’t wait to see the video.
@@TheDJsGuru Hello, thank you for your work ! i am waiting for that's video. I am on my way to buy, and i am curious to see the 932 next to the 945 .
@@TheDJsGuru when did you think is going to be online ?
No subwoofer crossover option?
If I connect a base ART912 speaker to a 912AX speaker, will the 912AX control the volume on the 912 through the app?
No, you’d need 2 ax
I finally bought the 945a. One of the speakers came with a dent on the grill. I noticed your art seems to have a dent too. Is that common with these? I think from touching it that the grill is not that strong. Am I right?
I have Mackie 750s( 15 in woofers) They are almost 20 yrs old and ready for replacement. They weigh a ton and a Mackie 18 thumb sub, weighs a ton as well and is bulky. As a drummer who needs and desires a good bottom groan if I may since I also play edrums as well as acoustic. Can I go with the ART 912s with the RCF 705s or 708s and make it work well for a cover band playing mainly bar gigs with some occasional outdoor venues? I certainly want to have better components but also do not want to waste my money. Thanks!

Damn nice info :)
Althought hdm 45 being generaly hd series speaker, litteraly detrone any art series sub exept tt25 wich is above it couse its just wood... weird but cool 😅

Do you have any review on the rcf 8003 vs 8004?
This is interesting - in australia they are about the same price… if you compare the hd32 to the 932
Interesting for sure. When you say “About” what is the difference? PS - HD32 was disco’d here in the states
@@TheDJsGuru I had the HD32s and ran them with RCf 8004s. Headroom for days.
In Europe are the same price also..
mk5 means It is mark five.
when he said made in Italy I lost it lol
the only reason bass coming from anything smaller than 18" subs should be happening is due to the inability to transport them, or for aesthetic purposes.. No 15" sub will sound BETTER than it's 18" counterpart..
Well there are opinions like “I like the sound better” and we are all entitled to our opinions no? Enjoy your SUBwoofers and ty for ur comment ❤️
How about the nx 910a ? Are they better than art 910a?
I'm guessing you've figured this out by now but it's the same speaker but the nx has a wooden cabinet so yes its a better overall speaker but the other components are the same
The crossover is lower at 1600 vs. 1800@@siffmaster2032 and likely some other unknown improvements with the cost being about $400 more!
Tengo rcf sub 8004. Cual seria mejor obcion.? Rcf art932 or art 945?
Si tienes el dinero el 945 es buena opción. Pero los 935 son buenos también.
932
Is a HDM 12a louder than a evox j8?
What do you think about live performances for guitar and vocals? The HD or the Art series? I bought the hd10a mk5 and now im a bit with buyers remorse, maybe I should have opted for the art910. Because they are almost the same price and the art910 on paper are much more powerful than the hd10a, 800w vs 2100w.and bigger high frequency driver, 1 inch vs 1,75 inches.
ART is going to sound a little better and be a bit more powerful :-)
Remember the ART is 9 lbs heavier. If weight and extra $ are not an issue, the 910 is the way to go.
A 2 db difference in SPL so not a major difference in sound level of the two. The 9 lbs lighter of the HD is a real plus
I narrowed it down to the HD 10" and ART9 10" and the HD won purely due to weight. I have a lower back and knee problem and the fact that the HD 10 is less than 12kg was a no brainer. I'll live with the fact that the ART9 is a bit louder and my back/knee will thank me in the long term!
❤️
Sound wise besides SPL any advantage of 12 instead of 10" if using a subwoofer?
Lower end frequency range is better on a 12
@@TheDJsGuru Don't those better lows get over powered by the sub?
Hdm45 a have 600 hz crossover point... They are the best 15 pa for money. They are plastic tt25
Those Rcf hd are better then speakers higher price and there loud and crisp hood bass for a 12”
Word!
Would you go for two RCF Art-910 AX and a single Sub 705/AS MKII set or would you prefer two RCF Art-915 AX (no sub)?
We would prefer 2 10s w 2 705 or 905 subs but if we are choosing between your options we would go w the 10s and single sub without a doubt. Reach out to us and we will be happy to guide you thedjsguru.com/contact-the-djs-guru/
@@TheDJsGuru Thanks for the answer!! I still don't have the money for two subs. That would be the ideal setup but I'll have to wait a little.
@@TheDJsGuru I have to add that I live in Argentina and this things are really expensive here to the very bad exchange rate.
@@milanosde stop buying AX, you don't need that, they are tooooo expensive for what they offer! Buy the normal ones!
RCF HD line is NOT the cheapest line, ART line is the cheapest. What are you talking about here?? RCF ART 712 mk4 is 150/200€ cheaper than HD12 mk5. ART series that you talk aboyt is 932 not 912 .. 932 is much expensive only and only because of the 1.4" neodymium HF driver with 3" voice coil, not the box! What are sayng that the art box is stronger than HD series? Man, you are def not know info.. HD series have much more voice clear than art series, i have both series, you are the first one who clamied that HD series is the cheapest one 😂😂😂
Yes that is right - ART7 is still available but it’s not less expensive. For example HD10mk5 $599 USD MAP ART710 $699 USD Map - maybe you misread something somewhere or there’s a currency difference🤷♂️- as far as the rest of your comments you’re more than entitled to your opinion as are we. All love Zed ❤️
@@TheDJsGuru well, i dont know in the USA, in Europe on Thomann ART 712A mk4 is 545€ , HD12mk5 is 635€ and ART 912A is 652€ .. and RCF is from Europe 🖐
@@zedstudio.22 🇮🇹
I brought HD45 and it was $200 more expensive than the art945, so idk and Im in the US
Hi, As of now ART915a has come out in indian market. Would you suggest this 915a for stage Monitors for bands?
Comparison the clarity of low.mid with other brand like EV,JBL Prx series, QSC.
What do you say about this?
ART 910A would be a far better choice if used as monitors. 915's midrange will sound very muddy.
What would you recommend to pair with the Yorkville es18p v I was looking at the RCF nx32-a, our events are mostly 50-350 people
I pair the ART 945 with the yorkville es18p. Simply wow!!!
Hi!
I need power and quality
What you recomended h32 or 932?
Both has quality 932 has more
Ciao . Ti scrivo dall' Italia.
Devo comprare una coppia di diffusori per un band con tastiera , chitarra , e voci sono live, mentre la batteria e il basso le mando in sequenza con base.
Ho mandato email a Thomann per capire quale fosse la differenza tra le art 912 e le HD 12 e questa e la sua risposta che incollo direttamente:
Buongiorno,
di seguito la risposta dei nostri esperti:
Entrambi gli altoparlanti non tolgono molto alla qualità del suono. Ad ogni modo suggeriamo le Rcf HD 12 MK V, poiché sono un po' più potenti e dettagliate.
Per ulteriori dubbi o chiarimenti non esiti a ricontattarci.
Ora dico , ma le 912 non sono loro più potenti ? Non sto capendo più nulla
Comunque volevo un consiglio da te se fare come ha dato risposta Thomann con i loro esperti.
Grazie se mi risponderai
Un saluto da Catania , Sicily, italy
🤌
which series has a smoother top end.
HD
What do you think of the new AX series?
Just got them in - really cool. Same speaker w a 6 channel mixer and Bluetooth 🔥
Cool but tooo expensive, you spend about 1000$ more per pair for what? A bluetooth and a mixer? I can buy that for half.
"We're gonna dive in." "We're gonna dive in." "We're gonna dive in." Over three minutes and still! no "dive in."
Drives me nuts. GET TO IT ALREADY, PLEASE.
We love you! Live shows aren’t easy ❤️🤷♂️
I got an Adapter that Converts a 15" to a 12 " So when i am running 18s I`ll take out the 15" and put in the 12" When im not using the 18" Then I convert them back to 15s More than one way to skin a chicken
Bro that’s sick! ❤️❤️
rcf 4pro 3031-a sound better than those.
Ok
Just buy the ART series, you can't go wrong. Beats out JBL, EV, Mackie or whatever else is out there.
Which Art is best for acoustic gigs, acoustic guitar, stage piano vocals? I had 312a 2 years ago, now I rent EV but I want to buy RCF again
@@emj9927 The ART 910 A is the superior live/dj speaker that uses the best 10 inch 2 way on the planet, however it comes at a cost. The old ART 710A MK4 is almost twice as less and also a great speaker. I used to have those until my back problem (now i have 17lb JBL IRX108) I didnt lose but $50 each when I sold them so the resale is the best in the business. The other alternative is the RCF HD Series, The HD10A MK5. It doesnt have the old fashioned horn look but looks like any other speaker and IMO is on the same level as JBL Eons or EV EKX Series. If you just a busker, the ART 710A is the way to go, its loud, sounds great and outperforms any speaker in it class for a reasonable amount of $$$
@@oldschooldjernie Agree and good summary. Yeah, my back can't lift the heavy speakers anymore so I may opt for the RCF HD10A MK5 or even the 710a. The 910a is just too heavy at 9 lbs heavier than the HD10a. I really like that the crossover on the 710a is at 1600HZ too, however not that crazy about the open grill look of the 710a. A little ugly in my opinion.
When it Comes to these two speakers ones not Better than thee other I could make either of those speakers Rock!!!!!! And if i was up All Night Crying Because As you say the Art has a better Hi Freq Driver Then Guess What???!!!!!!!!! ILL CHANGE THE DRIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We love you ❤️❤️❤️
