Experience Deep Bass and Convenient Control

The RCF SUB 9016-AS is far beyond a powerful-sounding subwoofer; its built-in DSP and RDNet networked control make it an essential hub for your entire audio system. This subwoofer delivers a robust 4,000 watts through a high-performance 16-inch woofer, producing subterranean bass down to 30Hz with a rafter-shaking 137dB maximum SPL. You’ll welcome the added convenience of the SUB 9016-AS’s digital crossover and factory-tuned speaker presets — plus, with RDTap contactless configuration, you can easily apply your desired settings to each speaker in your system with a simple tap. Additionally, RCF’s innovative Bass Motion Control ensures precise woofer excursion management. Housed in a durable polyurea-coated multi-ply hardwood cabinet, the RCF SUB 9016-AS offers premium low-frequency extension and comprehensive system control in a portable package.

Revolutionize subwoofer setup with RDTap

The SUB 9016-AS brandishes RCF’s revolutionary RDTap feature. RDTap enables contactless setup management and parameter updates, even when the SUB 9016-AS is unpowered. By tapping the RDTap logo on the subwoofer’s back panel with a smartphone running the RDTap app, you can instantly transfer all your setup parameters, including preset configurations, EQ, mid-low compensation for line arrays, and precise delay and time alignment settings to each loudspeaker in your system. RDTap is particularly useful for upgrading your subwoofers and revitalizing older systems with the assistance of presets, EQs, delays, and management via RDNet. Furthermore, unlike long-distance control technologies, RDTap transmits data at close range, ensuring that changes are applied only when intended, without interference from external devices. At Sweetwater, we’ve found that RDTap offers an efficient and user-friendly way to manage subwoofer settings and performance before setup.
