Frequently Asked Questions
It adjusts the phase response to compensate for different cluster configurations, ensuring consistent low-end performance even with varying numbers of subwoofers.
It pairs well with RCF’s HDL series line arrays, especially the HDL 22-AS or HDL 30-AS, to provide a complete, powerful system.
While the specs state 40Hz, realistically, expect a usable low-end around 50-60Hz in most club environments due to room acoustics.
