The TTS56-A Active Subwoofer from RCF is a powered subwoofer designed for touring sound reinforcement applications in large-scale venues such as stadiums or arenas. It features dual 3,400-watt digital amplifiers for a combined 6,800-watts RMS performance, providing up to 145 dB SPL. The TTS56-A also has 96 kHz/32-bit DSP control for time delay and remote monitoring use. Additionally, it provides presets for cardioid grouping with up to 2 other units.
2 Seperated Channels
32-bit Floating Point DSP
The compressor/limiter circuit on board prevents the amplifiers from clipping and avoids overdriving the transducers
Low Noise
6 Internal Fans
Vented Aluminum Panel
Input/Output
- XLR Input (Balanced & Unbalanced): The system accept female XLR input connectors and line-level signals from a mixing console or other signal source
- Crossover Signal Output: The output XLR male connector provides a crossover high passed signal (24 dB/octave) for satellite speakers
- Signal Link XLR Output: The output XLR male connector provides a loop through for speakers daisy chaining
- Data Input & Link Ethercon Connectors: The system is equipped with an RDNet connection on board to receive status information of the system and to send commands to the system
- Power Panel: A separate power panel with Powercon AC connector is provided for the maximum flexibility in case a different connector must be installed
- Input Board: The TTS56-A amplifier's input board includes all the controls to configure the system for every situation even from remote thanks to the Ethercon port and the RCF exclusive RDNet protocol and control software

Setup and Configuration
- Input Sensitivity: This rotary switch controls the overall signal level at the input to the power amplifier
- XLOW Cut 30/45Hz: This switch provides a high pass 24 dB/octave filtering at 30 or 45Hz. This setting is for indoor situations or when all the power shall be used in the 45 Hz - 100 Hz range
- XOVER 60/90Hz: It provides either a 24 dB/octave low-pass filtering at 60 Hz or 90Hz. The same crossover frequency in high pass is available from Xover Output XLR
- Time Delay Encoder: Provides a time delay setting expressed in meters
- Time Delay Display: Digital display that shows the Time Delay setting
- 4 System Status Indicators: Power, status, signal, and limiter
- Cardioid Set Up: This switch provides a special equalization and delay setting to create a cardioid pattern when the system is used in conjunction with two other TTS56-A modules
- Link and Active LEDs: Indicates when the module is addressed and configured from the RDNet controller
- RDNet Bypass: Pressing this switch bypasses the RDNet user setting preloaded on the module. When the RDNet controller is not connected, the by-pass switch act as follow:
By-Pass Switch pressed (LED on), the system bypass the input board and reads the last RDNet setting configuration saved;
By-Pass Switch released (LED off), the system reads the input board and by-pass the user setting eventually loaded on the speaker - RDNet Configuration: The TTS56-A is equipped with a RDNet connection on board. By using the RDNet Controller Unit is possible to:
Receive status information from the system (amplifiers status, signal levels, system settings, etc)
send commands to the system (mute, solo, change sensitivity, change setting, set user equalization, etc) - Cardioid Setup: The TTS56-A allows creating cardioid systems using groups of three stacked modules. Two modules must point in forward direction with the cardioid switch released. The central module must fire backward with the cardioid switch pressed. It is important that all three modules have the same settings (system delay, sensitivity, x-low cut, xover, etc)
