DESCRIPTION
M 801 is a multipurpose two-way full-range speaker system, suitable in a
wide range of installations.
The compactness, together with the elegant and neutral design with accurate
finishing make M 801 suitable for almost any environment and architectural
constraint. The system operates in fully passive mode with an internal passive
crossover/filter network both dividing the signal and providing critical
equalization functions
The M801 faithfully deliver high-output, high-definition sound for a wide
variety of professional applications, despite its compact size. All system
elements, including drivers, crossover/filter components, and the enclosures
themselves are designed to meet RCF’s rigorous standards for reliablility and
durability.
The system includes a high-level crossover network that features markedly
lower (than conventional) induction values in series with the woofer. We call
this innovation LICC (Low Impedance Compensated Crossover). The benefit is
delay reduction, reduced phase shift and superior transient response. Dynamic
high-frequency driver protection is accomplished with a new RCF exclusive
- Active Mosfet Compression Driver Protection System, (AMCDP) chosen to
complement the power curve of the driver.
Each M801 includes a robust 8” woofer, with 2” voice coil, mounted in an
optimally vented enclosure and a 1” compression driver with 1,5” voice coil,
specifically designed to provide smooth, bright and clear high-frequency
reproduction on a 90°x60° CD horn.
The SPL and the level of undistorted sound the M801 can reach are far above
any expectation from such a compact solution.
The design and look of the Media Series is consistent with the higher power
Compact and H Series models, the new Media Series offer various installation
options, from an elegant swivel bracket to easy to install wall mounting U
brackets.
The steel front grilles are protected with a robust double mesh polyester
clothing. The front RCF logo is easily rotatable. Media models presents high
power Euroblock audio input and link output connectors.
