The latest addition to the RCF line of 18-inch woofers - the LF18X401 - is now shipping. The new design incorporates a high-power ferrite magnet, ventilation, and very low power compression. The materials used in the ferrite magnet create a force factor very close to a typical neodymium circuit.

This combination provides a venting system with exceptional strength, insuring a very efficient voice…

Bruce Jackson & Steve Harvey

Analog? Digital? Both? In professional audio, many choices exist, but there’s not enough time to make the wrong ones. We regularly hear claims floating about, often skewed by particular opinions and interests that tend to color underlying simple truths. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines the noun “analog” as being something that is analogous (similar or related) to something else.
