Compact and powerful, the RCF Q 15 Two-Way Point Source Speaker Module is a bi-amped, 1500W AES (6000W peak) loudspeaker with a very-high output, thanks to its latest generation RCF transducers that deliver up to 138 dB max SPL from its 15" neodymium woofer and 1.4" titanium-neodymium compression driver. The trapezoidal enclosure features a 22.5° coupling angle on each side and can be flown and stacked, horizontally or vertically, in clusters of eight for long-throw applications.

The Q 15 sports a highly resistant Baltic birch plywood cabinet and steel grille with speakON plugs in the rear for input and output and a very-wide frequency response of 45 Hz to 20 kHz, providing enough projection and dynamics for numerous applications, from commercial installed sound to major performance venues. Despite the exceptional power output, these speakers are sleek and unobtrusive, taking up as little space as possible while providing enough flexibility in rigging and arrangement options to cover just about any possible environment or usage scenario.

Note: A bi-amped, 3000W amplifier is recommended for this speaker module. It will not function without bi-amplification.

Delivering extraordinary clarity and power handling, the Q Series modules feature best in class flexibility for multiple applications. Due to its sleek form factor, the speaker is unobtrusive and preferred when space is a constraint. Component positioning of the Q Series and the ability to rotate the cabinet in any position ensure precise directivity and a detailed sound image, reducing spots of break up or attenuation. RCF developed the Q Series for fixed installations requiring remarkable coverage and coherence in a premium yet discrete look. Despite their dimensions, Q Series speakers are built upon RCF's premium concert-proven technologies for optimum power-to-size ratio able to cover large areas.

The RCF Q Series features state-of-the-art RCF transducers with neodymium magnets. RCF’s experienced engineering teams have developed and matched each component. A set of protections preserve product life and reliability.

• Low frequencies: the low-frequency transducer sports a 15" woofer with a water-resistant, fiber-doped cone and a 4" neodymium voice coil. The woofer has a polycotton M-roll surround, and the voice coil uses a hypervented magnetic structure for efficient air venting and minimal power compression. 
• High frequencies: the ND940 Compression Driver in pure titanium with a 4" voice coil works from 600 Hz. This allows a better impulse response and a fast decay, translating in perfect vocal clarity and enhanced quality in mid frequency, leaving the woofer to manage the lower part of the spectrum. 

The Q Series speaker is carefully engineered to pack maximum output and superb sound quality with minimum size. The cabinet is made of high-quality, water-resistant Baltic birch plywood with internal structural metal bracings, rigid and resonance-free. A special polyurea paint creates a very-thick coating of the cabinet, making the speaker highly resistant to scratches, bumps, sun, and extreme weather conditions. The heavy-duty front grille is powder coated. A transparent-to-sound foam backing on the inside of the grille helps to further protect the transducers from dust.

Q Series speakers can be deployed either horizontally or vertically, with a coverage angle proportionally equal to the sum of the enclosures in the array (22.5° x n). The cabinet features multiple M10 suspension points on both sides. Optional rigging accessories include two fly-bars for horizontal (up to 4) and vertical placement (up to 6 with a single flybar, or 8 with double flybar), stainless steel plates for rigging, and -10° spacing to decrease the coverage angle for long-throw applications. All rigging is made of high-strength structural steel with a high safety factor. The compactness and lightweight of the system, combined with top of class suspension system, guarantee a fast and secure hanging procedure.

Q: 1. I understand the IR beam transmitter can be set to a high or low setting. Does the transmitter go into a low power stand-by mode when not being activated? For example, if this was set up over-night would the battery quickly drain? Thanks!James B.

A: I would recommend not keeping the device on while it is not in use.

Q: 2. Can the mixer be used with a tentacle sync device? I will be pairing with a Panasonic S5 and Sennheiser MKE 400 Shotgun Mic

A: Yes, you can use the Kopul CMCS-1 Passive 3.5mm Microphone Combiner/Splitter to connect the Sennheiser MKE 400 Shotgun Microphone and a Tentacle Sync timecode generator to the Panasonic Lumix S5 Mirrorless Camera.

Q: 3. - How effective is it to capture lighting strikes from thunderstorms at evening/night? And at daytime?- It seems it doesn't come with any cable, right?What exact cables do I need to trigger: Canon 5D Mark 3, Canon 70D and Panasonic Lumix G7?- What is the maximum number of shots that this can take using intervalometer mode?Thank you!!

A: there is a light sensor in the main promodule unit. the other piece is the IR module for ustilizing a wide ir beam to trigger. the sensitivity is adjustable for both light and sound as well as a built in delay of shutter release. To connect to either of those cameras there are two options, hard wire connection of pro module to camera utilizing the HL capcord set. or if you purchase the HL -CAPTUR C you then have wireless connection. PLease see www.hahnel.ie for in depth PDF's of how to connect.

Q: 4. Do these work with the new DigiBee from Paul C Buff?

A: Incase you haven't gotten an answer or others looking for a straight answer. No they do not work with DigiBees. I tried it personally myself with no luck.

Q: 5. Does it pass along 3V plug-in power from the camera to run a lavalier?

A: Yes. Power is passed thru; photos show a lavalier mic connected, which would confirm this.

Q: 6. Does it work with Pentax cameras?

A: it should but i don't have pentax camera

Q: 7. how do you place this on your sun sniper strap?

A: The Wimberley Module 8 M-8 Perpendicular Plate is not designed for use with the Sun-Sniper Camera Strap. It is designed for use with an Arca-type quick release plate mounted to the tripod mount on your camera, and gives you perpendicular movement of the camera when mounted on a gimbal or ball head. As it would be connected to the camera's tripod socket, it cannot be used simultaneously with the Sun-Sniper Camera Strap.

Q: 8. What is the overall length of this plate?Does it come in different lengths?

A: The overall length of the Wimberly Module 8 M-8 is 3 and inches. It does not currently come in different lengths.

Q: 9. Will this work with A Fujifilm x100T?

A: You would need to purchase the Impact Shutter Release Cable for Canon Cameras with Sub-Mini Connector, B&H # IMC2.5CANSM, to connect the hahnel Captur Pro Module to the Fujifilm X100T Digital Camera. With the above cable, yes, it would be compatible for your usage needs.

Q: 10. Will the mixer introduced latency?

A: No, the Kopul CMCS-1 Passive 3.5mm Microphone Combiner/Splitter should not introduce any latency to the signal chain.
