The Loudspeaker System Showcase to Debut at The 2019 NAMM Show
The Loudspeaker System Showcase will run twice daily, Thursday – Saturday, featuring a music track as selected by a popular vote of participating companies and hosted by a neutral industry expert. NAMM Show attendees can also engage with the companies in their respected spaces in the Showcase to trial portable systems.
The new HDL-28A compact line array will be the featured flown system, along with the EVOX JMIX8 and J8 being demonstrated in the portable system category.
RCF is presenting several new products at The NAMM Show 2019. The HDL 26-A and HDL 28-A compact line array modules, three flyable complementary subwoofers HDL 35-AS, HDL 36-AS, and HDL 38-AS add to the powerful HDL family. RDNet, RCF’s onboard proprietary network control and monitoring system, is featured on all these exciting new products.
The tour-ready D-Line, HD 15-A, and HD 35-A, are the latest additions in the 15” powered speaker family, with an innovative design and top-of-the-line performance. The ultra-high powered HDM 45-A is sure to be a crowd pleaser with a 2000 Watts amplifier and RDNet control.
The RCF TT+ line is poised to build on the no-compromise Touring & Theatre philosophy. Expanding on the TTL 6-A column array system, RCF developed a new concept of flexible arrayable speakers, the TT 4-ASeries. Variable waveguides: 100° x 25°,50° and 60° dispersion, an innovative rigging concept, RDNet, rotatable enclosure, and swappable components, the TT 4-A will soon be known as the “MacGyver Solution” of the RCF line.
RDNet Networked Management System sees great improvement with the release of version 3.1. Real-time Air Compensation and the new Bass Shaper function will help the system engineer with tuning and correcting low frequencies while maintaining the wanted tonal balance on the entire system. Shape Designer two-dimensional system design software is also now included within RDNet.
The RCF NAMM booth is the launch pad of the compact M 20X Digital Mixing Console, featuring motorized faders, multitrack recording, remote WiFi control, multimode PEQ, and many other technologies evolved directly from the acclaimed M 18 mixing platform. The RCF family of mixing consoles introduces F Series Mixers, comprising of four consoles from six to 16 channels, offering multi-FX, Single Control Compressors, and USB Recording capabilities. AYRA PRO Studio Monitors defines a new horizon in reference monitoring, featuring an outstanding 0° linear phase response for the first time in its class.
RCF will be participating in the inaugural NAMM Loudspeaker System Showcase (as well as our usual booth #18310). Held Thursday – Saturday at the annual Show (January 24-27, 2019) and under the guidance of the team from Live Sound International magazine, the systems showcase will take place inside the Anaheim Convention Center arena, giving participants the opportunity to demonstrate both their flown and portable systems in a real-world setting to a mix of industry professionals.
"The Showcase presents a unique, controlled environment demonstration designed to provide side-by-side listening opportunities for evaluating leading loudspeaker systems from around the pro audio industry, in addition to getting further technical details and pricing information from qualified representatives of each company," states Kevin McPherson, executive publisher of Live Sound International. "We're really pleased to be partnering with NAMM to offer this valuable opportunity to Show attendees."
“Experiencing the evolution of NAMM last year with the integration of pro audio and live sound products, we saw an exciting new dimension at the show,” said Tarik Solangi, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, RCF USA. “RCF is a prime example of a manufacturer that reaches both the retail and pro audio markets….and adding the Loudspeaker Systems Showcase this year offers us an excellent opportunity for RCF to demonstrate a production product to a retail market. We’re delighted to participate.”
