Pre-Alignment Delay Guides for RCF Active Speakers

All RCF active speakers feature FiRPHASE processing for a 0° linear-phase response, ensuring perfect phase alignment when paired with other RCF speakers and subwoofers. This means that most of our satellite-sub combinations already provide perfect time-coherence simply by positioning the speaker on the subwoofer.

In some cases, due to physical or technical limitations, small corrections using delay will be necessary to achieve the best performance. RCF speakers with built-in delay, such as the HDL and TT+ series, have on-board or RDNet time delay capabilities. However, for the few systems without built-in delay, an external delay device is required.

We have created Pre-Alignment Delay guides for each RCF active speaker model, providing the exact time delay values needed for perfect alignment with RCF subwoofers.

These guides are available for download

  • by searching for Guides/Pre-Alignment Delays on the Downloads page 

 

The guides also include delay values for some discontinued RCF speakers to maintain compatibility with current models.

 

How to implement the recommended delay settings

  • Enter the pre-alignment values into your RCF speaker's rear panel delay controls (if available). Alternatively, program the delays into the RDNet speaker management software or configure the delays on your external delay device.
  • For suspended speakers, the delay values need to be adjusted to compensate for the physical offset distance between the speaker and subwoofer. Based on this offset distance, either add or subtract delay to achieve proper time alignment.

By following the recommendations in the new Pre-Alignment Delay guides, you can ensure your RCF active speakers and subwoofers are perfectly phase-aligned for optimal sound quality and a great audio experience for your audience.
