DESCRIPTION
The M601 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.
M601 provides a compact yet punchy and sonically vibrant solution for
small-scale performance sound reinforcement and more demanding A/V
applications as well as high performance speech reproduction where clarity
and vocal character are paramount. The system operates in fully passive mode
with an internal passive crossover/filter network both dividing the signal and
providing critical equalization functions.
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 M601 includes a robust 6,5” woofer, 1,2” 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°x90° CD horn.
The SPL and the level of undistorted sound the M601 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.
