Description
The RCF HDL 26-A is an ultra-compact active 2-way line array module developed for professional applications ranging from small to medium-sized events. Combining two powerful 6-inch neodymium woofers, a 3-inch titanium compression driver, and an integrated 2000W Class-D amplifier, the HDL 26-A delivers high sound pressure levels and crystal-clear audio reproduction.
The HDL 26-A features two 6-inch neodymium woofers with a 2-inch voice coil. These woofers are designed for controlled low and low-mid reproduction, featuring a water-resistant fiber-reinforced cone, a polycotton M-roll surround, and a hyper-vented magnetic structure.
For high frequencies, RCF utilizes the ND840 compression driver with a 3-inch titanium diaphragm and a 1.4-inch exit. The driver works in conjunction with the specialized 4PATH waveguide and features a crossover frequency of 750 Hz. This results in controlled, uniform dispersion with high intelligibility, which is crucial for vocals, speech, and live music.
The HDL 26-A offers a horizontal dispersion of 100 degrees and a vertical dispersion of 10 degrees. Due to the symmetrical cabinet design, coverage is identical on both left and right sides. The combination of woofer configuration, waveguide, and DSP ensures constant directivity and even sound distribution.
The integrated 2-channel Class-D amplifier delivers 2000W peak and 1000W RMS. For the lows, 1400W peak and 700W RMS are available, while the high-frequency channel provides 600W peak and 300W RMS. The amplifier is fully optimized for the transducers used and the cabinet construction.
For digital signal processing, the HDL 26-A features RCF FiRPHASE technology. This DSP technology is developed for coherent phase and time response, contributing to transparent and accurate sound reproduction. The DSP handles crossover, phase correction, limiting, and system protection.
The HDL 26-A also features integrated RDNet network control. Via RDNet, modules can be remotely controlled and monitored. This allows for central management of settings and system parameters during an event, as well as monitoring the performance of individual modules.
The integrated array fittings are designed for fast assembly and can be adjusted for various array configurations, including J-shaped and spiral arrays. According to RCF, up to 16 HDL 26-A modules can be attached to a single flybar, depending on the configuration and applicable rigging regulations.
The housing is constructed from robust PP composite material and features two handles at the rear. The steel front grille protects the transducers from damage during transport and use. The HDL 26-A is available in black and white.
For additional low-end performance, the RCF HDL 35-AS is the matching flyable subwoofer. This combination allows for the creation of a complete flown line array system for professional live and touring applications.
