ENTERING INTO the mixer market
for the rst time in its 65-year
history, RCF has unveiled its new
L-Pad range of audio mixers. The
establishment of the RCF Mixer
Division represents an important
strategic move for company.
The series has debuted with a
comprehensive selection of nine
models ranging from a 6-channel
version up to 24 channels. Each
model comes in two variants, with
or without effects, with effects
models featuring a built-in DSP
chip, and selected con gurations
also bene tting from a built-in
compressor.
All models house a three-band EQ
for mono channels and a two-band
EQ for stereo channels. Additionally,
the 12C and 12CX models receive
60mm faders, as opposed to the
45mm ones present in the other
variants.
Away from the new mixers, the
SMALLER STAGES are soon to be
equipped with the AXM 12A active
monitor from Dynacord, boasting
a 33-degree tilt angle to facilitate
its use as a PA, a ll, a delay or for
fold-back. At the same time the
manufacturer has announced the
latest addition to its range of small
format powered mixers in the shape
of the PM 502.
Described as ‘reconciling high
SPL with compact dimensions and
light weight’, the 15kg AXM 12A

RCF’s L-Pad mixer series
The Evox 5 column speaker
utilises a coaxial 12-inch/1.75inch design delivering 90-degrees
coverage. On board is a 520W
Class-D ampli er (360W Lo +
160W Hi), while the birch plywood
cabinet’s maximum SPL is
rated at 128dB. Other features
include integrated DSP with IIR/
FIR settings, a digital three-band
EQ (with parametric mids), an
adjustable low cut and a sweepable
feedback lter.
Three audio inputs are available
comprising two mic/line ins on
XLR/jack combo sockets (with an
individual phantom power option)
and a stereo RCA. A backlit LCD
and push-button encoder form the
recessed user interface, allowing
access to ve presets plus ve
programmable memories.
While carry-handles are built
into the cabinet, the AXM 12A
can also be pole-mounted for
PA applications, while an integrated
delay function for distances up
to 100m in 0.1m increments is

Italian manufacturer has also
showcased its new portable column
speaker range, Evox. Currently
consisting of the Evox 5 and Evox 8
models, the manufacturer’s stated
goal with the pole-mounted satellite
and subwoofer series is to ‘exceed
the performance of all competitive
products in this class.’
Both models utilise RCF
transducers – the Evox 5 with ve
2-inch full-range drivers and a 10inch sub, and the Evox 8 with eight
2-inch drivers and a 12-inch sub.
The system is driven via a Class-D
ampli er with built-in DSP controlled
crossover, achieving a horizontal
directivity coverage of 120-degrees.
The Powersub312 and Sub112
included. When combined with a
powered subwoofer, the enclosure
can also be integrated into a threeway system.
Away from the stage and back
towards front of house, the PM 502
has become the latest addition
to Dynacord’s range of powered
mixers, promising ‘a new innovative
design’.
Based on the Powermate, it
includes ve mic/line and three
stereo inputs plus a master section
boasting three master outputs,
each of which has an individual
7-band EQ. Onboard are two
450W (RMS/4-ohm) rated Class-D
ampli ers, plus processing features
The vertical array design has
been purpose-shaped to deliver the
same listening experience to the
rst row as it does over long throw
distances, with the manufacturer
stating that its optimised pro le
avoids the high frequency beaming
typical of straight arrays. Like other
column array systems, everything
can be broken down into a single
transportation bag and is reportedly
light enough to be moved by a single
person.
In further news, new additions have
been made to RCF’s TT series in an
attempt to provide a reduced cost
version of the TT22-A and TT25-A
loudspeakers, but with upgraded
performance and a reduction in
weight. The overhaul has meant a
redesign of almost every component
was necessary, right down to the
carrying handles.
The new TT22-A II is a two-way
active system featuring a 12-inch
neodymium woofer and 86mm voice
coil in a bass re ex con guration,
mated to a 1.5-inch tweeter housing
a 75mm neodymium voice coil
and a 90- x 40-degrees constant
directivity horn. The larger TT25-A
II replaces the 12-inch woofer with
15-inch variant coupled to a 90- x
60-degrees constant directivity horn.
Ampli cation for both models comes
courtesy of a 1,100W switching
power supply module, and I/Os for
both consist of XLR, RDNet, and
PowerCon.
To complement the two updated
models, a TT25-CXA monitor wedge
has been released featuring a beam
width providing 60-degrees conical
coverage, and uniform frequency
response across the beam width.
The cabinet houses a 15-inch
neodymium cone driver and 64mm
diaphragm compression driver
along with phase-correlated control
electronics. Ampli cation and
connection speci cations match
those of the related models above.
Finally, after undertaking a
critical review of its Art 7 Series,
the manufacturer has also made
upgrades to the agship Art 725-A,
leading to the Art 745-A. It promises
‘far superior performance’ as a
result of its much larger 4-inch
voice coil.
The speaker can deliver an SPL
of 131dB from its 15-inch woofer
and 2-inch neodymium HF driver,
with 90- x 60-degrees coverage.
Ampli cation is via the same
1,400W peak (700W RMS) amp
driving the rest of the series.

such as compressor/limiter and
talk-over. A USB Type A interface
is also incorporated, supporting
48kHz recording and playback,
while a second USB slot at the
front serves an onboard MP3/WAV
player.
While the mixer is sure to nd a
home in live scenarios, it has also
been equipped for installation in
venues such as bars, bistros, small

be switched to 100V direct drive
mode for direct connection to 100V
or 70V loudspeaker lines without
the need of an output transformer,
while kits are available for either
wall-mounting the PM 502 or
installing it into a 19-inch rack.
