ACTIVE SPEAKER
4PRO 6001-A
RCF 4PRO 6001-A is an active, medium throw, 3 way sound reinforcement speaker. It integrates a
massive power 950 Watt amplifier, a complete electronic processor section and “full neodymium”
RCF low distortion, high power transducers. The system is light, compact and extremely linear and
offers the typical balanced sound of high level three way systems.The new 12” inch woofer is the
result of the latest refinement in years of RCF experience in high quality bass transducer designs,
resulting in an accurate and tight extended low frequency response. RCF’s unique 8” RCF Precision
Series sealed basket midrange is specifically optimised to work in conjunction with the 4PRO 6001-A
midrange horn. A massive neodymium magnet and a “compression driver level” assembly design has
been dedicated to reach low distortion and dynamic properties for this transducer. The compression
driver uses a new 1.75” pure titanium dome in front of a low compression,optimised geometry, 3 slot
phase plug. This innovative design is powered from an extremely high flux neodymium magnet and
offers incredible precision in high frequency reproduction. A high current 2 step class H design is
used to power the low frequencies, mid and high frequencies are separately powered from class AB
dedicated low distortion designs. The input section presents a combo XLR/Jack line input connector,
a recessed master volume and a useful XLR loop-through link. The processor section includes active
crossover, system equalization, transducer phase alignment, limiter and protection functions. The
system is visually monitored from 4 status LEDs. All components are housed in a trapezoidal, strong
Baltic birch plywood enclosure. Components are protected from a full front, strong, powder coated,
metal grille. The cabinet features three 3 position fly-tracks and 2 M10 threaded points for rear kart.
Two recessed side handles and one top handle guarantees easy portability.
