Review Summary
The HDL6-A is the ideal choice when line array performance is needed and a fast and easy set-up a must. A 1400 W 2-channel class-D amplifier powers the system. A powerful DSP processes the sound including crossover, phase correction, limiting and protection. The system features state-of-the-art RCF transducers - two powerful 6.0" woofers for a solid bass reproduction plus a high powered 1.7" voice coil compression driver mounted on a precise 100deg. x 10deg. waveguide delivers vocal clarity with high definition and an incredible dynamic.

Tour Sound In A Compact Size
The HDL 6-A is a two way active line array module designed for live sound reinforcement and installed sound applications. It features: 2 x 6.5-inch neodymium woofers, 1 x 1.7-inch neodymium compression driver, digital amplifier with switch mode power supply and DSP controlled Input section with selectable presets. The HDL 6-A delivers: 131dB max SPL; 1400 Watt peak power (700 Watts RMS); 65Hz - 20kHz frequency response.
Maximum Efficiency
The HDL 6-A is a true active and high power ready to use touring system equipped with a high efficiency digital amplifier that delivers superior SPL reducing energy requirement. The integrated processing and the cabling reduction will make the set-up faster and easier and, thanks to its compact size, the truck space requirement is reduced to the minimum.
Amplification
DSP Processing
The HDL 6-A is powered by a 1400W peak power digital amplifier, split 200W for the HF and 500W for the LF. A new generation DSP handles all the processing within the cabinet and allows adjustment of HF projection. This setting is accessed by the button on the rear of the cabinets.
Input / Link
MAIN XLR INPUT (BAL/UNBAL). The system accept female XLR input connectors and line level signals from a mixing console or other signal source. LINK XLR OUTPUT. The output XLR male connector provides a loop trough for speakers daisy chaining.
Volume Knob
Controls the volume of the power amplifier. The control ranges from - (maximum attenuation) to the MAX level (maximum output).
Status Indicators
Power Indicator
Power on indicator. When the power cord is connected and the power switch is turned on this indicator lights green.
Signal Indicator
The signal indicator lights green if there is signal present on the main XLR input.
Limiter Indicator
The amplifier has a built in limiter circuit to prevent clipping of the amplifiers or overdriving the transducers. When the peak clipping circuit is active the LED blinks orange. It is okay if the limit LED blinks occasionally. If the LED blinks frequently or lights continuously, turn down the signal level. The amplifier has a built in RMS limiter. If the RMS limiter is active the LED lights red. The RMS limiter has the purpose to prevent damages the transducers. The speaker shall never be used with the limit indicator red, continuous operation with the RMS protection active can cause damages to the speaker.

Water resistant fiber doped cone
Polycotton M-roll surround
High power magnetic structure
Inside/Outside Voice Coils
RCF has developed a unique voice coil, combining the advantages of inside/outside technology to the superior quality of polyimide-imide materials (wire resins and former resins). The inside/outside coil offers many advantages: - the dissipation surface is doubled - the adhesion area to the former is doubled - during thermal expansion the former is squeezed between inside and outside layers offering the best mechanical resistance.
High Frequencies
The ND 340 high power compression driver delivers one of the key advantages of the HDL6-A. A 1.7" voice coil with a crossover point of 900 Hz allows the driver to produce almost all the vocal range. This allows better coverage and dispersion control and superior efficiency.

Custom Designed Waveguide
The HDL 6-A is powered by a 1400W peak power digital amplifier, split 200W for the HF and 500W for the LF. A new generation DSP handles all the processing within the cabinet and allows adjustment of HF projection. This setting is accessed by the button on the rear of the cabinets.
Superior Intelligibility
Thanks to the large format compression driver on a wave-guide, the HDL 6-A offers superior intelligibility over distance
Competitors Array
The RCF HDL will maintain its intelligibility, definition and signal strength while competitive models will attenuate and break up before the sound reaches its throw distance.
Cabinet
The HDL 6-A tour grade system comes in a structurally wooden reinforced composite polypropylene enclosure and is equipped with two aluminum rear handles for portability.
1400 Watt Peak power - 700 Watt RMS
1" Neo Compression Driver, 1.7" v.c. = 2 x 6.5" Neo Woofers, 2.0" v.c.

Configurable Mechanics (Up tp 16 pieces)
Configurable Mechanics
The integrated mechanics are both fast and reconfigurable, allowing the system engineer to create genuine J-shaped or spiral arrays.
Typical HDL 6-A Array
The top model shows a typical RCF line array hang with the angles set and splayed in 2-degree resolution. However, competitive models are already pre-configured with constant curvature fixed angles, with no opportunity to optimize the system to the venue's characteristics.
Competitors Array
In this class, the competitive pre-configured line arrays referred to will typically be restricted to four or five elements, whereas the RCF solution can handle up to 16 modules, variably configurable, to produce a genuine J-shaped array.
Superior Intelligibility Over Distance
Thanks to its large format compression driver on a waveguide, the HDL 6-A offers superior intelligibility over distance.
Symmetrical Design
Due to its symmetrical design the HDL 6-A produces constant coverage without break up or attenuation.
Rear Handles
The HDL 6-A cabinet features two composite polypropylene rear handles designed for portability.
Front Grille
The heavy duty front grille is power coated. A special transparent-to-sound foam backing on the inside of the grille helps to further protect the transducers from dust.
