Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Samson Resound Series loudspeaker system! The Resound speaker systems by
Samson takes the concept of PA systems to a new level. Whether you are using the RS10, RS12, RS15 or RS215 front-firing
PA speakers for main “front of house” PA, or the RS10M, RS12M or RS15M for wedge floor monitors, the Resound series
will provide clear sound with a lot of output. By combining high power handling, advanced crossover design, along with
quality speaker and cabinet components, the Resound series provides premium audio for any kind of live application. For
deep low end that stays tight and punchy, each of the Resound loudspeakers features heavy-duty, custom designed low
frequency drivers. A ten-inch woofer in the Resound RS10 and RS10M , a 12-inch for the Resound RS12 and RS12M and
15-inch woofers for the RS15, RS15M and RS215M. To handle the high frequency content, the Resound series employs
a 1.75-inch (44 millimeter) mylar diaphragm high frequency driver on a 1" throat, wide dispersion horn. The result, the
Resound series speaker systems offer crystal-clear audio and an ultra-wide sound field. To make your connections simple,
each Resound model provides both 1/4-inch and NEUTRIK SPEAKON® Input and Extension output connectors. Heavygrade steel grills and durable carpet covering offer excellent protection against wear and tear. The compact cabinets can
be placed on the floor or stand mounted using the integral 1 3/8" pole mount receptacle. With the Resound, setup and
break down is quick and easy. As fixed sound reinforcement or as a durable, great-sounding road PA, the Resound monitor is ideal for sound professionals and performers looking for serious output and studio monitor sound quality from a PA
speaker system.
