Features

Overview: The RCF HDL 10-A Active Line Array Module is a 2-way speaker designed for live applications in small to medium size venues, indoors or outdoors. The HDL 10-A features two 8" woofers and a 2" high-frequency compression driver mounted compact and rugged polypropylene enclosure that's built for the rigors of touring use. The line array speaker is powered by a built-in 700-watt RMS (1400 W peak) Class-D amplifier with 200-watts RMS applied to the compression driver and 500-watts RMS to the dual woofers.

Precision Transducers: The HDL 10-A features a single large format 2" compression driver with a 2.5" voice coil, providing superior efficiency and dispersion control. An internal 800 Hz crossover allows the compression driver to handle most of the vocal range for added clarity and definition. Two high-power 8" woofers feature RCF's unique Inside/Outside voice coil design that provides several advantages: the dissipation surface is doubled; the adhesion area to the former is doubled; and during thermal expansion, the former is squeezed between inside and outside layers, offering the best mechanical resistance.

Protection: The RCF HDL 10-A features a built-in protection circuit to guard against amplifier over-heating, and a limiter circuit that will automatically engage if the output signal starts to clip or distort.

Shape Designer Software: RCF's easy Shape Designer software, available here, lets you setup the array speaker for optimal acoustic performance based on the venue and your system components. Speaker distances, levels, delay times and more can all be configured for each venue.

Rear Panel:

• Input & Output: A single balanced XLR/1/4" combo jack provides the audio input, accepting line-level signals. A corresponding male XLR Link output provides a pass-thru for the input signal when daisy-chaining multiple speakers.
• Volume: Rotary dial; lets you adjust the overall output level; a center detent indicates unity gain.
• High Frequency: Push-button (Near/Far); can activate a boost in the high-frequency range for increased intelligibility at farther distances.
• Cluster: Two push-button switches provide four options of mid/low frequency correction depending on the speaker cluster size;
  • 2-3 Speakers: Used for pole-mounting and ground stacking applications
  • 4-6 Speakers: Optimized for small flown systems
  • 7-9 Speakers: Optimized for medium flown systems
  • 10-16 Speakers: Optimized for maximum flown configuration
• High Curving: Push-button; lets you activate a boost to the mid frequencies when installing the speaker in a high-curving cluster configuration; Off, no correction; On, activates the mid frequency boost.
• Indoor: Push-button (On/Off); lets you add low-frequency correction when the speaker is used indoors, compensating for room reverberation and low-frequency build up.
• LED Indicators:
  • Power: The Power LED will light to show the system is powered on.
  • Signal: Indicates an audio signal is present on the input.
  • Limiter: Lets you know if the internal limiter circuit to prevent clipping has been activated.
• Power In & Link: A PowerCon Power In port lets you connect the AC power input connection. A corresponding Link output lets you daisy-chain the power connection out to additional speakers.

Mounting: Designed primarily for "flying", the HDL 10-A speaker features locking pin attachment points on each front corner of the speaker cabinet, letting you attach multiple HDL 10-As in a stack and suspend them from venue rigging (up to 16) using the optional RCF FB-HDL10 Flybar kit. The Flybar kit also allows the HDL 10-A to be mounted on top of an RCF HDL 15-AS, SUB 8004-AS, or SUB 8006-AS subwoofer, providing angle adjustment options.
