The NAMM Show, Anaheim, CA, January 22, 2026 – RCF (booth 17410, ACC North Hall level 2) has announced the launch of the new SUB 18-AS and SUB 15-AS, two powerful, portable active subwoofers engineered to meet the demanding needs of today’s professional sound applications. Designed for exceptional output, clarity and reliability, both models deliver tight, deep bass at any volume with outstanding headroom for live sound, mobile production and small- to mid-sized venues.
At the core of each model are state-of-the-art transducers with high-power ceramic magnetic circuits, paired with advanced 2200-watt Class-D amplification. RCF’s newly refined transducer design increases robustness and output while maintaining pristine sound clarity, even at full level. Integrated Bass Motion Control algorithms manage the lowest audible frequencies without compromising woofer stability, ensuring extended linearity and superior sound integrity across all SPL levels.
Both subwoofers are housed in rugged, lightweight all-plywood enclosures featuring ergonomic carrying handles for easy transport and fast setup. An M20 threaded pole mount supports full-range speaker cabinets for flexible system configurations. Heavy-duty polyurea coating and a powder-coated metal grille provide long-term protection against wear and environmental elements.
Intuitive rear-panel controls include volume, polarity and low-pass frequency adjustment, allowing precise and efficient system tuning. Comprehensive connectivity is provided via mono/stereo Combo inputs, XLR stereo link outputs, and XLR crossover outputs, ensuring seamless integration into a wide variety of sound systems.
SUB 15-AS
The SUB 15-AS is a compact, high-power 15-inch active subwoofer capable of delivering up to 133 dB SPL. It is the ideal low-frequency complement for 8-, 10- and 12-inch loudspeakers, making it perfectly suited for portable PA systems, DJs, live bands and installed sound applications where power and portability are critical.
SUB 18-AS
The SUB 18-AS steps up with an 18-inch transducer and maximum output of 135 dB SPL, offering deeper low-frequency extension and increased impact. Designed to pair seamlessly with 10-, 12- and 15-inch loudspeakers, the SUB 18-AS is ideal for venues and productions requiring greater low-end authority without sacrificing mobility.
With their combination of high output, refined bass response, durable construction and flexible system integration, the RCF SUB 18-AS and SUB 15-AS set a new standard for portable active subwoofers in professional sound reinforcement.
