RCF
Official website: http://www.rcf.it
Based in Reggio Emilia, Italy
Established in 1949.
From the website: In 1949, RCF’s three founders conjured a bold vision based on technology that was considered niche at the time. The real breakthrough came in the '60s when concert sound began to transition from small acoustic setups to big spaces, requiring electric amplification for voices and other low-volume musical instruments. In-depth knowledge in transducers and electronics qualified RCF to develop complete audio systems, bringing the company to a leading position in multiple audio markets over the years, from OEM transducers to Hi-Fi, public address, portable speakers, recording studios, and big concert systems.
1950: Developed extensive line of public address products as well as the design and manufacturing of transducers for the professional market.
1960: Unveiled the first-class European transducers. A range of 12, 15 and 18 inch loudspeakers became the backbone of the company's catalogue.
1970s: RCF entered into the home Hi-Fi speaker market, developing a line of cabinets and amplifiers.
1980s: Launched car speakers made with carbon fibre.
1990s: Entered the professional speaker market with it's own brand rather than only providing transducers to other speaker companies.
1996: Launched ART 300 speaker.
1998: RCF becomes part of international group until the end of 2003 when previous shareholders take over the company again and start a new chapter in the history of the company.
2004: New products such as ART and 4PRO.
2006: Launched a range of solutions for the install market and created the RCF TT+ High Definition Touring and Theatre line.
2012: Launched the HDL 20 - a line array in composite material that quickly became the most sold product in its category, and was the launch pad for the new HDL product line.
2015: Developed the M18 - an innovative, compact, easy to use digital mixer for musicians and professionals.
2021: ART 9 speaker series.
2023: XPS Series amplifiers, TT+ Audio brand.
