Advanced FiRPHASE DSP Processing

Leveraging RCF's proprietary FiRPHASE technology, the ART 708-A MK5 ensures coherent sound distribution for a perfect stereo image and optimised phase for 0° linear phase response.

XBoost Low-Frequency Enhancer

The newly introduced XBoost function unlocks the full potential of the 8" woofer, delivering a surprisingly deep and controlled bass response from a compact enclosure. With a simple press of a button, you can enhance the low-end for richer background music or a fuller mix, without compromising clarity or woofer stability.

Versatile PA, Monitor & Install Use

Engineered for versatility, the ART 708-A MK5 can be deployed as a main front-of-house speaker on a pole, suspended using its M10 rigging points for fixed installations, or laid on its side as a high-performance stage monitor. Its lightweight yet rugged polypropylene composite cabinet and ergonomic handles make it easy to transport and set up for any event.
