RCF ART 715-A MK5 Active Loudspeaker

RCF ART 715-A MK5 — 1,400 W Active Two-Way Speaker for Live Sound

The RCF ART 715-A MK5 represents the fifth generation of RCF's ART 7 Series and is engineered as a portable two-way active loudspeaker for musicians, mobile DJs, and live-sound professionals. Its 1,400-watt Class D amplifier powers a 15-inch woofer and 1.75-inch compression driver, pushing out 130 dB max SPL from 45 Hz to 20 kHz. Thanks to onboard DSP with FiRPHASE, XBoost, soft limiting, and thermal protection, the system stays reliable from low-volume speech to energetic performances.

What Makes the MK5 Stand Out

With a newly designed 1.75-inch compression driver featuring a Polyimide-Kapton dome, this model boasts durability ten times greater than previous versions. The rear-panel XBoost algorithm brings out deeper bass while managing woofer movement, and its reliability is backed by 200 hours of stress testing. A fanless Class D amplifier in an aluminum chassis reduces weight and keeps things silent on stage.

Technical Parameters — Power, Drivers, Connectivity

What you get are specifications that translate into practical stage benefits: robust headroom for vocals, deep bass for electronic sets, and versatile I/O for different rigs.

• Frequency Range: 45 Hz – 20 kHz — delivers the full spectrum from sub-bass to clear highs
• Max SPL: 130 dB — enough power for mid-sized venues and outdoor gigs
• Amplifier Power: 1400 W Peak (1000 W LF + 400 W HF) — Class D topology with SMPS
• Drivers: 15" woofer with 2.5" voice coil and 1.75" Kapton compression driver
• Inputs: Balanced XLR / 6.3 mm TRS Jack with mic/line switch and XLR link output
• Mounting options include a 90° × 60° horn, 35 mm pole socket, and 2 × M10 fly points for flexible setup at any event.
• Cabinet: PP composite, 19.6 kg with top and side carry handles

Who Uses the 715-A MK5

Mobile DJs, solo performers, and operators of small to mid-sized venues will find this model an ideal self-powered workhorse for vocals, instruments, and electronic music playback without the need for extra processing. With a 19.6 kg cabinet, multiple carry handles, and a 35 mm pole socket, moving and mounting the speaker is straightforward for one person—whether it's a wedding, club night, or corporate event. Pair it with the SUB 708-AS MK3 for full-range sound, or use two as stage monitors.

RCF — Italian Pro-Audio Engineering

RCF engineers design all ART 7 transducers in-house, from the Polyimide-Kapton compression driver dome to the 15-inch woofer. Each woofer undergoes 200 hours of non-stop testing before leaving the factory. The 715-A MK5 advances the ART 7 tradition with a fanless Class D amp and a polypropylene composite cabinet built to minimize vibrations at maximum output.
