RCF was founded in 1949 in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
From the outset the company was focused on the development and manufacture of professional audio products.
Initial product lines to receive wide distribution included microphones, public address products and transducers.

During this period, RCF quickly established itself as an OEM components manufacturer of transducers to leading speaker manufacturers. Many of whom went on to become worldwide brands, with the help of RCF technology.

Building on this success the company continued to expand its 100volt public address electronics, amplifiers and speakers. These being sold both as single products and in complete system solutions for airports, hotels schools, railway stations, factories and public buildings in general. In the 70 s and 80 s RCF’s expansion continued a pace with the movement into other market areas and the introduction of complete product lines in Hi-Fi cabinets and in car speakers.

A major step forward came in the early 90’s with introduction of complete professional speaker boxes, included the ground breaking Monitors series, which was to become the bench mark for all compact speakers that followed.

This position was further strengthened in 1996 with launch of the ART series of active composite-moulded cabinets, instantly repositioning RCF as an international speaker manufacturer. In particular the model ART 300-A became an instant success recognised world-wide.
