Description
The ARC Audio RS 3.0 is a matched pair of compact 3-inch raw midrange speakers for active two-way and three-way front-stage systems. The small frame and 1.38-inch mounting depth allow the driver to be used in dash, pillar, upper-door, and custom pod locations where a larger midrange cannot fit.
Its published operating range of 105 Hz to 18 kHz gives the system designer flexibility to use the RS 3.0 as a dedicated midrange or wideband driver, depending on installation angle, target output, and DSP crossover strategy. The pair is impedance-matched for consistent left- and right-channel integration.
The RS 3.0 is rated for 35 watts RMS, 65 watts maximum, and 89 dB sensitivity. It is a raw driver without an included passive crossover or grille, so filtering and protection must be provided by the system design.
