Great review! I currently use the 708-as MK2 from RCF and pair them with either HD32A or Art 735a. I've always heard and read good reviews about the 705 and yours is no exceptions. Will definetly be getting a pair of 705s for smaller events and when space is an issue.
Thank you DJ Jose for your detailed & kind feedback. Also I'm loving your subwoofer & tops setup. They would definitely bring down the roof!
Cheers mate, DJ Blink-Blink

Awesome. I totally agree with you regarding the RCF sub.
Thank you @Mix Masters - Entertainment for taking the time to give your honest contribution. Nothing beats getting a true and accurate feedback from a viewer on CZcams.
Much blessings,
DJ Blink-Blink
Good demo, man. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for the feedback mate 😎👍🏾
Cheers for this man
You are welcome mate 😎👍🏾
Cool video👍🏾
Thanks mate 😎👍🏽
Great review -- I've been all over the board looking at an old school Yorkville Elite 800 (but 130lbs!!), a JBL PRX 818 XLF, and this -- I know all apples to oranges, but it seems this sub would reach a 150-person venue no problem -- would probably couple it with my QSC K12s.
Thanks Matthew. Yes this SUB is brilliant and most importantly it's not heavy at all (you can lift it with one hand to be honest).
Just a final heads-up. You will need 2 SUBs if you want to use this for a 150 person venue mate 😎👍🏾
Cheers,
DJ Blink-Blink
sir. i have a question. once you press the crossover button on the rear of subwoofer. does it change the low frequency sounds of the subs? they said it has a 40 to 120 hz frequency response. and a crossover frequency cut of 80 to 110 hz going to top full range active speaker? thank you.
Hello mate,
Once you press the crossover button, the low frequencies for the SUB will be isolated below 110hz and you will get more BASS or PUNCH!!
Cheers,
DJ Blink-Blink 👉 My Mix 👉www.djblinkblink.com/ultimate-mix-album
In your experience does this Sub work better with the crossover set to 80 or 110?
110Hz works better for me.
Remember, if you want the sub to be a smooth extension of the mains, you can try 80Hz first. If you want the subs 10+ dB louder than the mains (which is what I prefer), then go with 110 Hz. It all depends upon how loud you plan to push the system and how much bass you plan to run 😎👍🏾

DJ Blink-Blink

Where are you from meh brudda!!!your explanations are so easy to understand. big up
nuff respect i love u.k grime trap and hip hop
but only the clean versions though. It's bass heavy music
Thanks mate for your honest feedback. I'm based in UK 🇬🇧 and my origin is Nigeria 🇳🇬 and yes, most people prefer the clean grime tuned also 😂. Have a listen to my hip-hop album on my website....they are clean versions... honestly 😜 👉 www.djblinkblink.com/hiphop-uk-funky-mix
Hello bro what happened if your signal light is flashing and later turns stable green?
My subwoofer doesn’t have a limiter
If your sub does not have a limit light or limiter, take a look in the manual to confirm how your subwoofer shows or stops your amplifier from clipping 👍🏾
hello brother, can you help me, please, what do you recommend from the speakers: Mackie Thump 15a, Rcf Art 315 mk4 , Ld Sistems Icoa 15 a ,Behringer b615d and The box pro dsx 115, Alto ts 315, Thanks Bro.
Hello Andrei,
Personally I would go for the RCF Art 315 MK4. Cheers DJ Blink-Blink www.djblinkblink.com/ultimate-mix-album
@@DjBlinkBlink Thanks bro , you are wonderfull!!!
@@Support.andMotivation1 you are welcome mate 👍🏾😎
Hey DJ blink,
The back panel on my sub. The signal light is blinking when I am playing rnb music with strong bass. I got the mixer Left xlr output connect to sub and then link sub to top.
Hello mate,
So let's try to solve this issue.
1. Are you connecting your controller directly to your Subwoofer or is there an external mixer between your sub and your DJ controller?
2. What level are your trims or gains set at?
3. Is the button for the Xover pressed in or out at the back of your subwoofer?
4. What level is the volume for your DJ controller at when the red light started blinking at the back of your Subwoofer?
Let me know the answers to these questions, then we can dig further into this issue.
Cheers, DJ Blink-Blink

I got traktor s4mk3 connected to an external mixer. Mixer main Left and right XLR output connect to the RCF subwoofer 705 as II input. The subwoofer left out goes to left top input and subwoofer right output goes to right Top input.
The control volume on the back of sub woofer is set at 1 o'clock.
The Top volume control also set to 1 o'clock.
The top of have is rcf 735 a MK4.
The mixer gain knob is at 0.
All the buttons on the subwoofer control is pressed out.
The signal light flashes on the subwoofer when I turn the mixer LF right to +7.5.
Mixer main mix level is at 0.
The DJ controller gain level is at 0.
When I decrease the volume control on the subwoofer to 12 o'clock. The subwoofer signal led stops blinking.
Is the signal blinking something I need to worry about?
Thank you in advance.
@@trieunguyen9933 Thanks mate for your answers. I think I know what is going on now....out of curiosity, what light is blinking mate? The red one (top light) or the green light (middle light)?
@@DjBlinkBlink the middle one (green light)
@@trieunguyen9933 that's fine. The green light in the middle flashing is not a problem. As you must have noticed, when the music you are sending to your sub is low, it does not flash but when you turn it up, it flashes. Don't worry....GREEN is good! You should only worry when the red light at the top comes on. This means you are "clipping" your sub.
So, in summary... your SUB is fine mate 😎👍🏾
Hi Bro how are you. I wonder that did you listen RCF 708-AS ii if yes how was it sounds. Is there any of your friends uses RCF 708-AS ii. If you make a video comparison for Behringer B1800XP and RCF708-AS ii it will be very nice for me and everybody who wonders which one has better punch and loudness. Thank you.
Hello mate. I have listened to the RCF 708-AS ii and I can confirm it is a powerful and punchy subwoofer which is way better than the Behringer B1800XP cos the Behringer would clip before the RCF and the RCF can has a higher "headroom".
Unfortunately, I can't make a comparison of either subs cos I don't have the Behringer subwoofer anymore and I'm not planning to buy the RCF 708 anytime soon. However as I said above, the RCF 708 has "better punch" and it's more powerful than the Behringer B1800XP.

@@necilaydin you are welcome mate 😎👍🏾
@@DjBlinkBlink I went to the store and they are offer me the EAW RS 118 they sound good but which ones do you think are better the EAWs or the RCFs 708 and its because I have not been able to listen to the 708, let me know please
If you run the main out of the console at 0db on the led meter, you can put the volume on the sub at max, because the rcf speakers peaking over 0db in with the volume at max on the speaker
I wouldn't risk this because songs peak at "different" levels. You would also be relying on the DJ software having a functional "auto gain" in place. Finally are we even sure whoever is using this SUB knows about "Gain Structure" and how to set this up correctly. There are just too many variables to consider 👍🏾😎
@@DjBlinkBlink i suggest you because I have rcf speaker and i use with the volume at max and if you have at the master out under 0db the sub never go in peak, if you want to feel comfortable you can put it at three quarters, in any case nice content👍
@@speakertest1992 ohhh...now I understand. Thanks for the brilliant suggestion and most importantly your honest feedback 🔥🔥👍🏾😎
Hey man, just wondering how has the pandemic affected your business? Have you had to readjust your expenses, or have you found a profitable way through. I was looking at getting into PA & Lighting hire at the beginning of last year.
Hello mate. Yes the pandemic affected me however what I have done to adjust and make my business profitable is to host most of my events on zoom. That helped a lot to be honest 😎

Hello bro , why is better from JBL Prx815W and Ev Ekx15p for dj , Thank You!
Hello mate, they seem to be closely matched when I took a look at them a
(although the JBL is about 2.5kg lighter than the EV and it 1dB louder). The best way for you to make this decision would be to listen to each speaker and then go with what you think the speaker can do for you at your event (vocal, guitar etc). However for me personally I would go for the EV EKX 15p. Cheer, DJ Blink-Blink 👉 My mix 👉 www.djblinkblink.com/ultimate-mix-album
@@DjBlinkBlink thanks bro , you chanel is very interested and wonderfull for begineer dj , cheers man!
Hello ! The volume in the laptop was 100% ?and the volume in the console was also 100%?
Hello mate, the volume on the laptop has no effect on the output because everything runs through my DJ controller.
For the review I made, the volume on my DJ controller was maxed out to 100% and the volume on the subwoofer was set to 12 o'clock (50%).
Cheers, DJ Blink-Blink

@@DjBlinkBlink I noticed that the trim button wasn't at half (as I usually keep it) .... Does the sub's limit led remain the same, when pushing the trim to half?
@@banescud are you referring to the trim knob on your controller?
Yes, I am...
@@banescud putting your trim halfway (12 o'clock) would push your meter levels to the yellow zone or even the red. This video I made explains this in full czcams.com/video/rSvGIOPrrnE/video.html
However if you have to do this on your controller and it's not pushing your "levels" into the red, then your SUB should not clip (show a red light flashing).
Cheers,
DJ Blink-Blink
Hey Dj Blink- Blink RCF sub sounds great and its only 28kg and 700w RMS
I have similar sub but Wharfedale t-sub 29kg 700w RMS 15 also
Wish I could compare but think RCF would be beter. Cheers Dj Long
ohh and priced £435,00
@@djlongg2345 yes the RCF subs sound great and as you know they are not heavy at 28kg 😎
You made up my mind on this. What would you recommend for a top to match it?. Thanks.
Brilliant. As per my recommendation, if you want to match the top with the sub, you can get the RCF ART 712 A (12" active speaker). If however you don't want to match the top with the sub, then get the EV ELX 112P (also a 12" active speaker).
Cheers mate,

Hi Dj
Now I have got 2 Rcf 745 tops and 2 Rcf 705 Asii.(The sound is good).
I am thinking of buying just one Rcf 8004 Sub.
Would my 2 Tops sound better with just the just 8004 ?
@@tomapep1one subwoofer can never sound better than two subwoofers mate cos sound is omnidirectional. Also what about if one SUB gets faulty you at least have the other SUB as a backup.
What hits harder and sound best your rcf 705 or your berhinger 18” sub ?
The RCF 705 sounds better than the Behringer 18" Subwoofer (the low ends rolls well and you get that rumble). However the Behringer 18" sub hits harder than the RCF 705. The punch from the 18" Subwoofer can be felt within your chest and in all honesty, it would always knock the socks off the RCF if you are looking for just a massive punch from your sub.

@@DjBlinkBlink also which do you think is louder side by side the b1800 or the rcf
@@sayidkhan9330 Bass is omni-directional so it doesn't get "loud". When you listen to a subwoofer, the sound (low frequency) appears to emmit from everywhere which is how subwoofers fool the brain.
To answer your question, you cannot measure the "loudness" of a subwoofer. You can however know how powerful or punchy it is and most importantly the realibilty of the Subwoofer itself.

DJ Blink-Blink
Wow this is great video too. So you mean you have bought RCF because of heavy is right... ? Maybe something more.. peace ✌️ 😊💪

And you’ll do your back after the 1st lift.
