Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Samson Resolv RXA10S Active Subwoofer. Taking care of the
low end for your near-field monitor system, a powerful 150-watt low frequency amplifi­er drives a heavy-duty 10-inch transducer, reproducing tones between 40 –200 Hz. The
RXA10S’s low frequency driver is an 10-inch, long excursion transducer with a Butyl sur­round, providing extended range and tight low frequency response. The RXA10S comes
with an infrared remote control, allowing you to easily control your monitor system from
anywhere in the control room. The remote control instantly gives you additional control
room monitoring features by providing Sub Volume, System Volume, Dim, Sub Mute
and System Mute. In order to maximize the sound of your monitor system, the RXA10S
has a built-in active crossover, with variable low pass filter to tune the subwoofer to your
speaker system. The RXA10S provides intelligent sub-satellite control thanks to the clever
switching that automatically returns the satellites to full-range operation whenever the
RXA10S is muted. The rear panel features a footswitch jack allowing you to easily switch
on and off the subwoofer on the fly. With a phase switch to time align your monitors, the
RXA10S provides expanded control. Balanced inputs and outputs on standard XLR and
RCA connectors make interfacing to other active monitors or power amplifier simple. The
RXA10S’s enclosure is constructed of rigid MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) to insure
maximum sound pressure level and is finished in durable black satin textured paint. The
RXA10S is also a perfect addition to any near field monitor system where extended low
end is desired.
