RCF HDL26-A Active Compact 2-way Line Array in Black

Part of the HDL Series speakers, the black RCF HDL 26-A 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 systemengineer 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
