Big Sound, Compact Size
Elegant design aesthetics, RCF reliability and signature sound, delivering a pleasing audio experience in any application, from sports halls to nightclubs, corporate spaces, and performance venues. Available in two sizes, with 12-inch and 15-inch woofers, Compact C Series provides excellent acoustic performance for both background and foreground music. For enhanced weather resistance, the WP model features an acoustically transparent, water-repellent fabric discreetly embedded within the grille assembly and IP67 Amphenol Ecomate power connectors.
Weatherproof. Impact-Resistant. Built to Last.
The weatherproof birch plywood cabinet is designed for robustness and reliability and is easy to be flown-, wall-, or truss-mounted using the multiple rigging points available and optional accessories. The back panel provides two eco|mate IP 67 connectors. Its textured polyurea coating provides exceptional scratch resistance and greater longevity compared to traditional finishes. The front steel grille is powder-coated and fitted with an acoustically transparent, water-repellent fabric.
Constant Directivity Waveguide
The special waveguide design allows the deployment of COMPACT C speakers with accurate control of the directional characteristics. In difficult acoustic environments, intelligibility is significantly increased. The speaker also features a 100° x 50° rotatable constant directivity waveguide. Using the optional HN-KIT COMPACT C 32 C 45 accessory, it is possible to replace the speaker horn with two different horns and change directivity to 100° x 25° or 60° x 25°.
The Solution for Impressively Powerful Sound
COMPACT C flexibility makes it a smart choice for a wide range of applications. Combining high-quality birch plywood cabinets with a 100° x 50° rotatable constant directivity waveguide, the speaker can be installed either horizontally or vertically. The sleek cabinet features a robust polyurea coating and is easy to be flown-, wall-, or truss-mounted using the multiple rigging points available and optional accessories. The back panel provides two ‘Neutrik Speakon NL4’ (4-pole) plugs or IP67 Amphenol Ecomate power connectors for the WP version.
