General

RCF has been producing audio products since the 1940s! It's no surprise therefore, that they have a number of renowned designs to their name. Now, the SUB 705-AS II subwoofer can be added to that list too. It has a 15-inch woofer that places it in the middle of the SUB 7 series. Just like its brothers, it has a power output of no less than 1400 watts! This subwoofer delivers a punchy sound with a fast transition response and produces sufficient lows to provide a solid foundation to your overall mix.

RCF SUB 705-A II: amplification and crossover

One of the reasons that many sound engineers choose active speakers is that the amplifier is designed to work perfectly with it. That's certainly the case with the SUB 705-A II, which features a highly-efficient class D amplifier. These types of amps use switchable power meaning that they don't need transformers, reducing their weight. Class D amps also have a fast reaction time, which is very important for a top-quality subwoofer. There's also a crossover with a number of adjustable frequencies, as well as a polarity switch that lets you reverse the phase.

Subwoofers

Separate subwoofers exist because of the amount of power it requires to generate substantial lows. Human hearing is less sensitive to frequencies under 100 Hz, which is where subwoofers operate. A good bass sound is essential to any good mix, however. That's why, generally speaking, subwoofers have a large cabinet and a lot of power. RCF's SUB 7 series match these requirements perfectly. What's more, the internal crossover makes it easy to combine them with other separate speaker cabinets too.

Wrote the following about RCF SUB 705-AS II 15" Active Subwoofer (700W)
Heb deze sub nu een goed jaar geleden gekocht. Ik gebruik ze in combinatie met 2x Mackie SRM450v2. Het is een leuke extra voor de lage klanken, maar verwacht nu ook niet dat gans het gebouw ervan gaat daveren. Het is tenslotte ook maar een 15" woofer. Wil je meer, kies dan voor de 18".

De belangrijkste reden waarom ik voor deze koos is omwille van zijn gewicht (relatief laag) en omvang (relatief klein).

Al bij al, heel tevreden van!

More Bass with QSC K Cardioid Subwoofer and E Series

Thursday 12 January 2017 By Lizanne

With a regular subwoofer, you can often lose low tones. QSC has found the solution to that problem and named it the K Cardioid. They plan to officially launch this active sub at the 2017 NAMM show next week. It has a cardioid directional pattern at its core which effectively prevents low frequencies from escaping via the rear or sides of the cabinet, resulting in more bass and a higher sound pressure level!
