GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Resound RS12M speaker system by Samson takes the concept of PA systems to a new level. Whether you are using the RS12M as PA speakers for main “front of house” PA, or for wedge floor monitors, the Resound RS12M 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 RS12M provides premium audio for any kind of live application. For deep low end that stays tight and punchy, the Resound RS12M features a 12 inch heavy-duty, custom designed low frequency driver. 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 RS12M speaker system offers crystal-clear audio and an ultra-wide sound field. To make your connections simple, each Resound RS12M provides both 1/4-inch and Neutrik Speakon Input and Extension output connectors. Heavy-grade steel grills and durable carpet covering offer excellent protection against wear and tear. With the Resound RS12M, setup and break down is quick and easy. As fixed sound reinforcement or as a durable, great-sounding road PA, the Resound RS12M is ideal for sound professionals and performers looking for serious output and studio monitor sound quality from a PA speaker system.
