Control is precise with RDNet network management, offering adjustable EQ, delay, cardioid options, and tailored crossover presets for RCF speakers. Innovative contactless configuration via RDTap allows seamless setup even when the unit is unpowered, ensuring perfect integration every time. Despite its small footprint and lightweight cabinet , the SUB 9016-AS produces powerful yet articulate bass, remaining true to even the most subtle low-frequency variations.

A New Definition of Bass.Simplified Tuning. Unrivaled Depth.
RCF has created a groundbreaking solution for offline/unpowered device configuration. With RDTap, users can inspect and configure devices without needing to power  the device. Sound engineers can design a system within the RDTap App on the move and configure each subwoofer by tapping the RDTap logo, with RCF [patent-pending] contactless technology. As an alternative, RDNet management software enables comprehensive real-time control and monitoring of compatible, network-connected devices.

Drive the Rhythm of the Beat
With up to 8000 Watts of power, our Class-D amplifier can manage extreme sound pressure levels with an ultra-fast attack, realistic transient response, and very low thermal loss. 

The stereo input circuit features a 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 that combines high efficiency with minimum weight.

Advanced Precision Transducers
SUB 9000 Series subwoofers incorporate the latest transducer technology from our labs. Employing lightweight aluminum core coils, high-damping cellulose cone material, composite spiders and a 4-layer inside-outside voice coil, the ultra-long excursion moving mass gains high power with fast acceleration. Despite their small and lightweight footprints, SUB 9000 Series subwoofers produce powerful yet articulate bass, remaining true to even the most subtle low-frequency variations.

High-Class Neodymium
Neodymium, a rare-earth material, enhances efficiency, power handling, and weight reduction. Using a 20% stronger magnetic field than typical neodymium grades, this new design enables precise control and higher force.

Tour Grade Solution
Designed for rigorous touring, SUB 9000 Series subwoofers feature tour-ready, weatherproof plywood construction with a durable polyurea finish. The included magnetic rain cover protects the connection panel from rain and dust, while rugged powerCON TRUE1 TOP AC connectors ensure reliable power delivery in any environmental condition. Subs are stackable and lightweight, have ergonomic handles with rubber grips, and are designed for easy set-up and tear-down. M20 pole mounts on the top and side of the cabinet offer flexible top speaker placement. Connections for a detachable front cart are included, enabling easy transport on wheels (cart sold separately).

Bass Motion Control
When searching for an extended bass with enhanced performance, RCF engineers found a way to remove the high-pass filter, replacing it with a forward-thinking approach. Introducing BMC (Bass Motion Control), the newly advanced woofer excursion management feature. The speaker equipped with BMC can handle the lowest audible frequencies without affecting the woofer stability, with extended linearity and better sound integrity.

The BMC method works by creating a complete map of the dynamic behavior of the woofer, to generate a custom algorithm that only limits over-excursions. This gives total freedom of signal reproduction to the transducer. When high-pass filters normally protect the woofer motion from becoming destructive but change the phase behavior, the new BMC algorithm breaks conventional rules.

Actually Cooling Pillow
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This is a really nice pillow, I was worried it would be too soft or too firm but it's just right and it's actually cooling, it feels cool every time I touch it. I've noticed an improvement in sleep since using it. Would recommend!

Repurchased in King Size – Still Love These Cooling Pillows
Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling), Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
After using the queen-size version of these pillows for over a year, we purchased the king-size set when we upgraded to a king mattress. Both my husband and I really like them. The cooling feature works well, and we like that each side feels different—when I run cold, I use the softer bamboo side, while my husband prefers the cooler side since he tends to sleep hot. They fit well in our king-size pillowcases and feel supportive in all sleeping positions, whether I’m on my stomach, side, or back. I also appreciate that you can remove some of the filling to adjust the firmness. The covers are washable, which makes them easy to maintain. Overall, we’re very happy with this repurchase and the long-lasting comfort.

Not great at cooling
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
Each pillow cover has 2 sides, one marked for cooling, and the other a different fabric. The cooling side is about the same effectiveness as having a silk or satin pillow cover. It's only cool when you first touch it. The cooling side doesn't seem to absorb or wick moisture, so if you are sweaty - it keeps the moisture in place. You'll definitely want a regular pillow case over the pillow cover. In fact, if you suffer from night sweats, the non-cooling side is actually more comfortable. The pillow fill is ample, and simple to squish around for more support for your neck, etc. Think bean bag. But it will retain your impression after use. I find I need to do as I did when I had down pillows - give it a few good shakes in the morning when I make the bed to get it evened out for the coming night. In all, it is a well-made and comfortable pillow to sleep on, but it does not excel in cooling.

excellent pillows i bought two sets!!
Size: Firm Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
I ordered these for my son who has neck issues and has gone through so many pillows trying to find one that he liked. They’re heavy, so i was worried that they might be “too” heavy to be able to sleep on comfortably, so I ordered a second set, one firmer than the other (just in case) and gave him a set for Xmas and he loved the first set so much without even trying the less firm ones.He also needs the cooling factor and these offered that, too. They are filled with pieces of memory foam (tons of it) and each pillow can be modified by removing some of the foam. The covers are beautiful, high quality fabric with a zipper so ts easy to remove or replace the foam pieces. The size is perfect and they keep their shape. I kept the second set i ordered rather than returning them and i love the pillows. I actually modified two by removing some of the foam pieces. I kept the foam pieces in a zippered pillow protector and i can always adjust mine when or if i need to. 1000% love these.

The Perfect Firm Pillow l
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
It is everything it claims to be, cool, comfortable and strong. I got this for my husband first, he loves it and then got one for my son, he uses it to support his knees and has been sleeping much better since then. They both needed a firm pillow that is not super soft, firm but not achy. Finally found the perfect one.
