RCF SUB 9016-AS 4000W 16″ High-Power Active Subwoofer – Black

RCF SUB 9016-AS 16-inch active touring subwoofer

The RCF SUB 9016-AS is a professional-grade active subwoofer designed for touring, live sound reinforcement, and high-demand audio installations. Despite its compact 16-inch form factor, it delivers an impressive maximum sound pressure level of up to 137 dB, powered by a high-efficiency 4000W Class-D amplifier. This ensures tight, controlled, and impactful low-frequency reproduction suitable for modern sound systems requiring both power and precision.

At its core, the SUB 9016-AS features a 16-inch high-excursion precision transducer engineered for fast response, deep bass extension, and low distortion. The advanced motor structure and lightweight moving assembly allow accurate reproduction of subtle low-frequency details while maintaining strong output capability. The amplifier design integrates a low-distortion signal path with intelligent protection limiting to ensure reliable performance under continuous heavy use.

The system is equipped with RDNet networked control, enabling full remote management of EQ, delay, cardioid configuration, and system monitoring in real time. Additionally, RDTap contactless configuration technology allows engineers to load or inspect system presets without powering the unit, significantly improving workflow efficiency during setup and deployment.

Designed for rugged touring environments, the cabinet is constructed from durable plywood with a weather-resistant polyurea coating. A protective rain cover shields the I/O panel from environmental exposure, while powerCON TRUE1 TOP connectors ensure stable and secure power delivery. The unit also supports a detachable front cart for easy transport and handling in mobile applications.

Advanced technologies such as BMC (Bass Motion Control), ACE crossover presets, and factory-optimized system tuning ensure seamless integration with RCF full-range speakers. The SUB 9016-AS is built to deliver professional performance, portability, and intelligent system control in a compact yet powerful subwoofer design.
