RCF SUB 708-AS MK3 Description
The
RCF SUB 708-AS MK3 is engineered to deliver professional low-frequency reinforcement in portable or installed sound systems. Its powerful 18” woofer is driven by a state-of-the-art ceramic magnet structure, delivering tight, punchy bass in a lightweight, compact format. With 1400W peak (700W RMS) power output and a frequency range from 35 Hz to 120 Hz, this subwoofer excels in music playback and live sound applications.
RCF's innovative Bass Motion Control (BMC) replaces traditional high-pass filtering with a custom algorithm that maximizes low-frequency performance while preserving phase integrity. The result is a deeper, more accurate bass response with improved woofer stability and reduced distortion.
Built for real-world use, the cabinet is made of Baltic birch plywood with a scratch-resistant polyurea finish. Ergonomic handles and an M20 pole mount make it easy to transport and integrate into any PA system. The rear panel includes comprehensive controls for crossover point selection, polarity, and EQ tailoring—giving users precise control over system tuning.
