Review Summary
The RCF HDL30-A is a compact bi-amped 2-way active touring system for medium to large events, both indoors and outdoors. It features two 10-inch woofers and an impressive 4-inch titanium compression driver. The time coherent waveguide is the result of in-depth research and design. HDL 30-A is the first line array in a composite cabinet with zero-degree phase and ultra-linear amplitude response. The built-in 2200 watt class-D amplifier delivers excellent playback clarity and up to 137 decibels SPL max. The RCF HDL30 -A features state of the art RCF transducers with neodymium magnets. Considering its acoustical power, it has a remarkably low weight for easy handling and flying.
HDL 30-A is an incredible achievement for RCF. An ultra compact and lightweight system with a top of the class rigging and superior sound. The RCF HDL30-A features state of the art RCF transducers with neodymium magnets. RCF's experienced engineering teams have specially developed and matched each component - starting from the power supply through the input board to the amplifiers and transducers right up to the complete HDL-30A System. All the parts are designed and produced by RCF.
4 Path Waveguide
The custom 4 PATH designed waveguide allows a precise coverage of 100 x 15 degrees, while also delivering an excellent, linear high-frequency response. The unique shape of the four ducts forming the guide creates an ideal isophasic load from 680 Hz to the highest audible frequencies.
Powerful Class-D Amplifiers
RCF's Class-D power amplifier technology packs huge performance operating with high efficiency into a lightweight solution. HDL amplifiers deliver a ultra-fast attack, realistic transient response and impressive audio performance. The amplifier features a solid machined aluminum structure which not only stabilizes the amplifier during transportation but also helps the fan-less heat dissipation. All the HDL amplifiers present SMPS power supply section to produce maximum output and minimum weight.
A New Perspective On Linearity
RCF speakers are designed by using FiRPHASE, a proprietary and advanced FIR filtering technology, conceived for delivering transparent sound, absolute clarity and perfect stereo images to the listener. The FiRPHASE algorithm optimizes dynamics, amplitude and phase patterns, ensuring at the same time minimum system latency.
The remote-controlled DSP continuously monitors levels, soft limiter and temperature of each amplifier. One system engineer can carry out many functions from the RCF RDNet Networked Monitoring and Control Software:
Monitor the entire system and each component
Test individual components
Read out tilt angles of individual modules with the built-in inclinometer
Group modules together in Arrays and create separate Zones (inside the Array)
Design and Control Arc and Endfire Subwoofer Arrays in few clicks
Adjust gain and delay
Set equalizers including three adjustable FIRPHASE filters for medium to high frequencies
Set Air Compensation for single cabinet or groups, to compensate the air loss on long throw applications.

Revolutionary rigging concept
The high strength enclosure in composite polypropylene has a revolutionary new rigging concept inspired by its big brother: the RCF HDL-50A. Compared to its acoustical power, it has a remarkably low weight for easy handling and flying. The integrated mechanics are both fast and reconfigurable, allowing the system engineer to create J-shaped and spiral arrays starting with 0.2deg. angles.
The hardware is designed for an easy and fast setup. The angle can be adjusted before to hang the system, on the ground and slip automatically into the correct position when pulling up the array. Up to 20 HDL 30-A modules can be fastened on a single flybar
