I experienced the same too on the new 945's. I bought two of them to use for larger events to do music playback for festivals and picnics. RCF is so musical sounding compared to EV ETX's, QSC K series, and JBL SRX's. Also when you use them on a live band format- there isn't any comparisons either. The mid tones really shine through- electric and acoustic guitars, keyboard and pianos, and especially on the drums- snare, toms, and floor toms. The NX series is a must have for affordability and pro sounding!!!
Great video! Are you getting your hands on the RCF TT 515-A & TT 808-AS anytime soon? Would love to see your take on it. THX and keep up the good work!
Thank you for the comparison, to be honest, I would still choose the OG 735As for live sound. Based on your sampling, I did like how the 735As threw the cymbals and hit hats. The 935As are more of all-around speakers, very hi-fiish sound, djs will love them.
You have to say who is the winner test. From my phones the 935 have a sound more clean for middle and hi but We need and low. Yes with a sub will sound amazing. I still prefer my RCF TT+ system(10000W)😁
Very informative video!!! What top would you recommend to pair with RCF L18P400 sub woofers? It’s housed in a custom double, horn loaded cabinet. I’m looking for a 2 or 3way speaker that has excellent highs and mids used mainly for indoor Reggae events.
Very nice test... i think 935 is musical sound beautiful... the premier of drums is more present and much more realistic on 935 ... but i think Art 945 a is best in class 👍
Hi, I recently bought 935a, and when I'm listening to them there are constantly some high frequencies that I don't like, around 8-12khz (and above). Bass response and mids are good, I just have problem with highs. I am longtime user of NX-45, which sound really good (using them with subs), and a big fan of 735mk4, which sound sweet for standalone use :) So I just wanted to hear your opinion, how do you compare high frequencies on 935 to other RCF models? Am I crazy?
At higher volumes the 935’s do seam to limit the low and mid frequencies while allowing the high frequency to keep going. So they can start to sound harsh. A dynamic EQ or multi band compressor helps a ton with this.
@@sweettreeproductions2149 Whole point of mobile cheap plastic boxes is to use them standalone, with no additional processing. I'm so frustrated they tuned that box in that way, it's really not pleasent for listening. But DJ's seems to like them a lot, so I left them for rental, and for personal use keep the NX-45 with subs.
I was thinking about getting an ART 945 for use in smallish bars so i can just run the whole band through it. I assumed that I could run bass guitar and kick drum through it and still have great vocals and guitar due to the 650 Hz crossover. Would you say this is the case based on the 935 sound? For larger indoor stuff or outdoor stuff I would just add a sub to the 945, which should sound amazing above a sub.
The 935 sound really good outdoors too. But if you’re doing something like djs and stuff like that you also might consider adding a sub. For wedding I don’t think it’s necessary. Have a good one buddy💪🏼
735 mk4 is more balanced in my opinion. Theres like a hi shelf on 935 so makes it sound more bassy (because hi mids and hi's are quieter). just my opinion
Thanks for doing these videos. The 935 sounds pretty impressive. I would love to hear the 945 compared to these along with the cheaper Yamaha DXR15mk2.
It really depends on the use for them. Realistically the 900 series has a lot that the 700 can’t offer. If the money is available it is the way to go currently.
What about, this 935a vs 745a is it some upgrade?, since 945a is more expencier than both but 745 and 935 are there at the price, but on net specs shows that 745 schould still dominate the 935, but I am curious of that 2100w amp, is it louder stronger more punchier and far throw speaker becouse of stronger amplifier or 745 will still smack its ass, but onli lose to 945a?
Maximum volume on 745 is unusable, they are too loud :) I was using them for years and finally switched them with 935, which are better in every way. If you want to go louder than 745 (which is the loudest plastic box on earth), then ART series is not for you.
From mid to 3 probably 4 o'clock max, after that will clip ^_^ i like on speakers where u have 0.0db and u can pump it on ur mixer but on those kind of "knobs" u must adjusting mixer plus speaker to get the max of speaker without red light comming... so those speakers with rdnet dispplay controls so hdm 45 and up tt line is ++ from me, allso old tt22 tt25a without display it got 0, -2 and +4 to get like boost thing but those some high end drivers that can take it so, but for the money, those are budgetly oriented speakers from rcf to enter the pro sound so its worth every penny, from 715 to 745 915 945 what ever u get u can be sure audience will be happy with sound, but 915 715 u will need sub, dont have 945 or 900 series didnt hear but have old 745 1 for monitoring for dj "me" and some house parties to 50 ppl, have heard and worked 715, without sub 2 715 are like 745, with sub they kinda same at 10-15m range after 4" compression driver shines it throw sound further, I assume this is the case allso in 900 series of art from rcf ^_^, getted the 745 1 couse guy had just 1 lefted, he had 4 so sold 3 and got great deal on that one, allmost like 715 mk4 a tiny bit more, but far off from New in terms of price, I wanned hdm 45 but for the price i am more than happy, dont plan to get another one couse have old tt25a or mk1 without those dsp but have separetls rdnet controler so it is the same as in speaker, but older ones are qbout 20% stronger compared to newer ones but need to tune sound to mach the New ones in quality but with extra 20% hp u can do whatever u want, if u want to upgrade from 735a's u get, but hdm 45, they how much I heard and saw here are stronger than 900 or 945a speaker, or jump to tt25a wich is allmost the same as hdm 45, more than 150ppl u will need the sub, wich ever top speaker u have, sub is sub, so dont get this, uness ur thight on bundget and dont have any speaker, well its worth it.
What gain do you guys usually set the gain at on the back of your RCF speakers? It feels like such a newbie question but I keep getting conflicting information from various "informed" people, some saying start at unity while others say 2 to 3, and even some insisting they're meant to be run wide open.
All the people I know run the known all the way, and then set the volume in th mixer. Usually in other cases we would want to put the knob at 0 db, but in rcf we can't know where it is. Also there are a very powerful speakers.
We run ours at 3 o clock. This definitely makes the speaker a little quieter when nothing is being produced. It seams to match unity closest. On our TT and HDL26 however we run wide open because they are definitely gained lower. We can also adjust in Rdnet.
The 4” driver options are really for people trying to get extreme volumes. The 15” is different as well but unless you need to be extremely loud it’s not worth the money.
@@daveelder4792 I was able to listen to a NX32 vs NX45 last week with an A/B comparison on recorded music. I will say that no matter what I did to try to get the volumes even, I preferred the sound of the NX45, and it sounded louder at lower volumes even I think. Both were much better sounding than my Yamaha DXR12 (which I had there as well as a direct comparison.). The DXR12 sounded muddy in comparison without doing a big boost on the high end EQ. The NX32 just didn't sound as full to me. I can't really explain it any better than to say that the NX45 was better with a direct comparison, so I'd expect the 945 is better sound than the 932 or 935. I listened with the speakers both high passed with a sub and in full range. In any scenario. the NX45 was best. I will say that the NX45 didn't seem to have a ton of low end. I've heard the 945 would have more low end in full range than the NX45. I could see that being true.
@@aaronl7669 thanks so much for the info. Very helpful. Hoping I wont need subs if i get the 945s for small to med sized LIVE duo/trio shows. No drums but we do have a bass and are looking for nice full sound and good clarity. I would love to A/B NX45 and 945. HDM 45 would also be one to consider as well...though it may be discontinued now.
@@sweettreeproductions2149 Ah ok thanks. I’m not sure why it is making these ticking noises though? Didn’t have this when I tested the Yamaha DXR15’s with a tone generator?
Almost same power and quality the 735 mk4 and 935, 735 mk4 win in high frequency, 735 original in vocal , i use sennheiser headphone ,so that I can hear the sounds better.😊✌️

This was a very thought out comparison. Looking forward to seeing some of the other speakers in this new line.
We appreciate it. Hopefully it it will help people make decisions easier.
very nice video! i wish you could do the same video on ART 945-A 745-A's

The 935’s are definitely Hifi sounding.
Thanks for this video lad ... You nailed it.
Thank you!
The Vocals on the 9 series are amazing compared to the others nice vid keep em coming
Nice, Like to see a review on the NX932 nobody has one but the spec's look good.

I like the 735 mk4 for now, wait for your outdoor test video….Good test video Again 👍🏻👍🏻
Tellement de succès la 735 en rupture de stocks dans certains magasins en France
I am between 735 and 935 as options. Why do you prefer 735?
Can you make a video comparing HDM 45-A vs ART 945-A?
+1
Thanks for the beautiful video. I have one question. Which subwoofers will be suitable under RCF ART 932?
I used the Rcf 705ii with the Rcf 932a. You will love it bro 😎
I can hear a more detailed presentation on the new 935-A. I love RCF
935 sounds best on my headphones. it seems like it has more bass and a less harsh high character. Geddy's bass has some nice growl on the 935s too!

There will soon be a NX series speaker coming out very soon that would be a great choice for you.

Yamaha DZR15 would be a better comparison
Cual de los 3 es el que se limita menos?
Hope they bring out new range of subs something different maybe duel design
The 8008 is pretty good for the price.
Notice how the room camera video is vibrating when loud bass notes hit!
They can get loud!
Its funny how the ride cymbal seems to have a different pitch in each cabinet when
playing the second song.
Very true!
What is your opinion about bass of the hdm45 and 935? Can they compare?
The HDM45’s have a much tighter sound from its 15.
so at the end, which goes the loudest and which is the most bass heavy?
The 935 is much more balanced at louder volumes.
I think the middle button has a bit more bass or bottom button has a tiny more mid frequency. But my ears are not perfect.
I like the 935
We agree!
When do you know what series to get??? Lol :/ Like the new 9 series vs. HDL’s and etc.
It really depends on the use for them. Realistically the 900 series has a lot that the 700 can’t offer. If the money is available it is the way to go currently.
Hello how do I have to set the EQ so that the S tones are not so strong?
Hi, dipping down the high frequencies typically 10k and up helps quite a bit with s’s also a deesser is a great tool.
What about, this 935a vs 745a is it some upgrade?, since 945a is more expencier than both but 745 and 935 are there at the price, but on net specs shows that 745 schould still dominate the 935, but I am curious of that 2100w amp, is it louder stronger more punchier and far throw speaker becouse of stronger amplifier or 745 will still smack its ass, but onli lose to 945a?

Usually in other cases we would want to put the knob at 0 db, but in rcf we can't know where it is.
Also there are a very powerful speakers.
run them all the way up, eventually the limiter is strong enough to protect the speakers 9 times out of 10, at least for RCF
We run ours at 3 o clock. This definitely makes the speaker a little quieter when nothing is being produced. It seams to match unity closest. On our TT and HDL26 however we run wide open because they are definitely gained lower. We can also adjust in Rdnet.
735 mk4 is win

Does the ticking happen when the speakers are on idle?
It doesn’t. It’s only with a few frequencies from a tone generator.

They are all great for their own purposes.
