TECHNOLOGY

Innovation, Integration, Intensity

INNOVATION - Our research and engineering department can offer innovative projects with finite control of each detail, from the loudspeaker voice coil wire to the highly efficient extended dynamic amplifier topology. There are many different ingredients that go into creating quality products and systems. These include computer aided simulation software to assist the understanding of transducer behaviour and amplifier operation and the relationship of dynamics and transient response. RCF utilises over thirty state of the art software packages to identify magnetic circuits, voice coil dynamics, suspension linearity, horn dispersion simulation, crossover filters, amplifier thermal behaviour and more.

INTEGRATION - RCF is one of the few loudspeakers manufacturers worldwide who have the ability to completely design and manufacture transducers, speaker systems and amplification and control electronics. Our 60 plus years heritage in audio combined with our state of the art R&D and manufacturing processes, allow us to seamlessly integrate all the ingredients to design and build the TT+ High Definition Touring and Theatre systems.

INTENSITY - The design philosophy for the TT+ Series is based upon offering the sound engineer solutions and tools that are ready to use. Key factors are the ability to sustain very high power with highly efficient sound pressure levels. Intense sound levels are created with extremely high definition and extended dynamic range. Modern construction materials result in mechanical weight

ratios that are light for practical flying and portability.

THE BEST VOCAL

CLARITY FROM A

LARGE LINE ARRAY

The TTL55-A midrange transducer features a unique “Impedance Control Coil” technology. A secondary coil wound on the speaker yoke and driven in opposite phase to the primary coil has the function of cancelling the primary coil inductance, increasing the speaker sensitivity and reducing the speaker distortion. A primary effect of this technology is the improvement of the temporal behaviour of the speaker, improving the crossover transition from the midrange to the compression drivers.

COMPRESSION DRIVERS

- 3 x 1.5” throat neo compression drivers, 2.5” voice coil

- Very compact diameter design

WOOFERS

- 2 x 12”high power vented neo woofers, 4”voice coil

MIDRANGE

- 10” Very high BL neo midrange, 3.5” voice coil

- Aluminium sealed basket design

The TTS56-A is the powerful choice for the large format TTL55-A line array systems.

The TTS36-A is the preferred choice for more compact systems.

For theatrical applications or as a bass complement for very large systems the TTL36-AS is the solution.

The TTL55-A and the TTL36-AS are equipped with a dedicated networking board. Using our proprietary RDNet protocol is possible to monitor all the system parameters, form the input to the status of each single amplifier.

Having a Dsp on board of each cabinet, it is possible to address to single cabinets or groups of cabinets specific presets or modifications of parameters like gain, equalisation or delay.

The RDNet protocol is based on RS-485 communication protocol, it is very stable and it is possible to send and receive data on a simple XLR cable.

The power section comprises 2 x 2000 watt digital amplifiers, a state of the art 32 bit floating point Dsp processing, time delay setting, network board, high quality analog inputs.

SIDE HANDLE

The TTL55-A cabinet features a newly designed die-cast side handle with rubber hand-grip. Thanks to the internal scoop design it is possible to use the handle in three different directions.

FRONT MECHANICS

All the mechanical structure is built in high strength structural steel. This special steel by a quenching and tempering process guarantees a yielding strength almost 4 times higher compared to commercial grade steel and maintains the mechanical properties down to –40° C. Thanks to this material the mechanics have high safety factor with a weight under control.

REAR MECANICHS AND ANGLES

The TTL55-A cabinet features 8 possible splay angles, from 0° to 7° with 1° step increment to create curved spiral arrays with very high precision.

AMPLIFIER MECHANICAL STRUCTURE

The electronic processing and the amplifier are housed in a solid aluminium extrusion. The housing is tightly fitted to the rear of the cabinet and sealed. The power input and all the signal connectors are housed in two recessed and protected panels.

THE TTL55-A CABINET

The TTL55-A cabinet is built in Baltic birch plywood and protected with heavy-duty coating. The internal structure is braced and reinforced and all the parts are assembled on metal inserts with metric screws. With a very small size compared to the spl output it is easily transportable as a single module on a dolly or in groups of four in dedicated karts. The front grille is powder coated a features and special foam backing very transparent to the sound.
