RCF HDL26-A, 2000-Watt Active Line Array Speaker – Black
The RCF HDL26-A, 2000-Watt Active Line Array Speaker – Black is an active speaker module that can be used alone or as part of a long-throw concert line-array sound system for touring sound reinforcement for small to medium venues, concert halls, and outdoor events. The speaker provides ultra-linear amplitude response, exceptional vocal clarity, and controlled deep bass—while also being easy to stack and fly. It is well suited to withstand the rigors of live sound reinforcement or rentals applications in performance venues, clubs, corporate spaces, houses of worship, mobile DJ setups, and more.
The HD 26-A is equipped with a 2000W peak, Class-D digital amplifier, which drives 1400W into the dual 6″ woofers and 600W into the 1.5″ compression driver. The crossover is set at 750 Hz. The speaker delivers a frequency response of 55 Hz to 20 kHz with a peak SPL output of 133 dB, and 100°H x 10°V coverage. The integrated DSP offers low-latency loudspeaker processing, while phase and amplitude are corrected using proprietary FiRPHASE technology conceived for delivering a natural and transparent sound, with a balanced stereo image.
First-Class Transducers
The RCF HDL 26-A features state-of-the-art RCF transducers with neodymium magnets
RCF’s experienced engineering teams have specially developed and matched each component—starting from the power supply through the input board, to the amplifiers and transducers, right up to the complete HDL 26-A System
High Frequencies
3″ diaphragm titanium compression driver
1.4″ exit throat
750 Hz crossover point
Low Frequencies
Two 6” Woofers with 2” voice coil and neodymium magnets
Low frequencies handling down to 55 Hz
Cone finished in water-resistant fiber
Surrounding polycotton M-roll
Hyper-vented magnetic structure
4-Path Waveguide
The custom designed 4 PATH waveguide allows a precise coverage of 100 x 10 degrees, while also delivering an excellent, linear high-frequency response
The unique shape of the four ducts forming the guide creates an ideal isophasic load from 750 Hz up to the highest audible frequencies
RDNet Connections for Networked Control
RDNet is a robust management network and control platform for small, medium, and large arena-sized sound systems as well as complex and extended installations. Based on a proprietary network protocol, the software provides intuitive control and monitoring of every connected device/object in the RCF audio system.
Array and Zones Grouping with multiple-type EQ, Bass Shaper, and FiRPHASE EQ
Auto scan and complete monitoring
Shape Designer Array Calculator with subwoofer configuration helper
Adjust hi-pass, EQ, gain, and delay on individual components
Complete real-time monitoring
Automatic cluster size shaping and air compensation
DSP
The low-latency, 32-bit DSP section deploys a remarkable amount of processing power for live performances with straight-forward control and monitoring of single parts of the module, including rigging angles and transducer performance via RDNet
Thermal and RMS protections preserves the speaker’s performance and helps to ensure reliability
The Acoustic Beauty of Symmetry
The symmetrical design of the cabinet produces identical left and right coverage of 100 x 10°
The component positioning and special DSP crossover filtering of the HDL 26-A take care of the constant directivity without spots of break up or attenuation
The front baffle provides coplanar woofers, controlled low-frequency dispersion, and the high-frequency waveguide
Easy to Stack or Fly
The integrated fittings are both easy to use and reconfigurable, allowing the system engineer to create J-shaped and spiral arrays starting at a 1° angle
The hardware is designed for easy and fast set up. Up to 16 HDL 26-A modules can be fastened on a single flybar
The heavy-duty front grille is powder coated and a special transparent-to-sound foam backing inside helps to further protect the transducers from dust
For weatherproof capabilities, a rain cover is available
