collapse expand iconDescription

The RCF SUB 702-AS mk3 is a portable 12" high-power active subwoofer for live sound applications. It features a state-of-the-art transducer with a high-power ceramic magnetic circuit and a powerful Class-D amplifier that delivers sound pressure levels up to 129dB with exceptional headroom. Designed as the ideal complement for 8" or 10" loudspeakers, it provides outstanding performance in any application. Rear panel controls include volume, EQ, polarity and crossover frequency selection. The rugged all-wood cabinet with scratch-resistant polyurea coating makes it durable, easy to carry and install securely. With its versatility, sound quality, and high power output, the SUB 702-AS MK3 is perfect for small to mid-sized venues and portable applications.

Legendary Subwoofers

RCF subwoofers are a top choice of many sound engineers, thanks to the very high SPL levels at very low frequencies, small dimensions compared to the competitors, self-powered design, long-term reliability and impressive size/weight to SPL output ratio. Your crowd will be able to put on an engaging immersive experience in both live sound or DJing applications.

Power that Moves

RCF's improvements in transducer design make them stronger and more powerful so the amplifier follows the evolution. With 1,400W peak power, the Class-D amplifier manages extreme sound pressure levels with an ultra-fast attack, realistic transient response and very low heat loss. The speaker design is energy-efficient so there's no need for a cooling fan. The amplifier is attached to a solid aluminum heat exchanger in the rear of the cabinet with no moving parts. The stereo input circuit with crossover features a new low distortion design with an advanced safety limiter, maintaining the true character of the input signal at all levels. RCF amplifiers are designed according to EN62368-1 for maximum safety and present a Switch Mode Power Supply section joining high efficiency with minimum weight.

Tour-Ready Workhorse

The subwoofer is suitable for a wide range of live sound applications. The rugged all-plywood cabinet is easy to carry and stack, due to its light weight. All are equipped with ergonomic handles with rubber grips for easy setup and teardown. The M20 threaded pole mount on the top allows the cabinet to support speakers with a pole mount. The heavy-duty polyurea coating, the powder-coated metal grille and the rugged structure of the cabinet withstand long-term use and transportation. Separate housing for the amplifier guarantees component efficiency and reliability. An acoustically transparent sound foam backing on the inside of the grille ensures protection from dust and humidity. With its frontal vented ports, the subwoofer can also be used in recessed spaces.

    I demo'd this speaker against the EV200 and Yamaha 12" sub offerings. If you have to pay full price on this RCF you might as well go up to the sub705 as you get way more bang for your buck. If you have money to burn and are looking for a good 12" sub then this would be an okay purchase. I did notice in my unit a little bit of a rattle when turned way up. Funny how GC calls this a top seller yet its on sale and has no reviews. Bottom line this is a good performing expensive 12" sub, there are cheaper options out there that perform just as well. All the 12" subs I have tried will give a warm bass sound to any top, but if you are looking for a rumble down low these just do not do it.
