RCF KX 08-A HIGH-PERFORMANCE 2-WAY POINT-SOURCE ACTIVE SPEAKER 2000Watt (Black)
The KX 08-A is a compact, high-output 2-way active speaker system engineered for professional users, combining precise directivity, high SPL capability, and advanced system integration. The low-frequency section features an 8” neodymium driver in a bass-reflex design; the high-frequency section comprises a neodymium compression driver with a 1.75” PKX dome, coupled to a 90° x 70° True Resistive Waveguide, rotatable by 90° to ensure flexible coverage options. An integrated two-channel 2000 W Class D amplifier with proprietary DSP processing and remote management via RDNet enables optimal system performance. Its weatherproof, multifunctional enclosure with Quick Fit and M10 inserts supports versatile deployment for ground-stacked, pole-mounted, or flown applications.
Advanced electronics
The high-powered Class-D amplifiers, tailored for each transducer, deploy pristine sound with efficient heat dissipation at the lowest possible distortion, along with low power consumption.
High-end AD/DA conversion and onboard DSP for the best sound quality. Thanks to the proprietary RDNet networked management and control, every KX speaker provides in-depth remote monitoring through multiple sensors. The system engineer has immediate feedback of transducer status, fan speed, temperature, VU meters, limiters and much more.
Precision Transducers
Low Frequency
The 8” high-power cone transducer integrates Bass Motion Control (BMC) DSP and FiRPHASE-optimized crossover to extend the low-frequency range and enhance midrange efficiency, matching the waveguide dispersion for perfect coverage continuity around the crossover point.
High Frequency
Paired with the True Resistive Waveguide (TRW), the 1.75” compression driver incorporates a newly developed dome crafted from PKX (Modified Polyether Ether Ketone). PKX is a rigid yet lightweight, colorless organic polymer, possibly the best of the thermoplastic resin film for its superior specifications. Designed by the RCF Precision Transducers laboratory, the dome is reinforced with ribs to obtain a slim but rigid profile. This innovation delivers greater precision and reliability for demanding audio applications.
Robust and durable
The enclosure is made of high-quality Baltic birch plywood, glued with water-resistant adhesive and coated with weatherproof polyurea paint, ensuring excellent waterproofing, UV resistance, corrosion protection, and durability against abrasion, impacts, and mechanical stress. The solid machined aluminum structure efficiently dissipates heat fanlessly, improving enclosure stiffness, while the high-strength structural steel rigging ensures a high safety factor for secure weight management. Die-cast aluminum handles with ergonomic rubber grips enhance usability.
