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 moni tor is ideal for sound professionals and performers looking for serious output and studio monitor sound quality from a PA speaker system.

Connecting the Resound Speaker System

Choosing the Correct cables

The Resound series speakers connections are made via the rear panel 1/4-inch and/or Neutrik Speakon® connec tors. Standard unshielded speaker wire, available at your local pro audio or music store, with either 1/4-inch phone or Speakon connectors and wire gauge of 12-14 is recommended.
If your amplifier uses binding posts you can use speaker cables with banana plugs, but be sure to pay attention to the
ENGLISH
plus and minus polarity when making the connections. It is important that your PA system is connected in phase other wise you will not have the proper low-end response and stereo image.
In order to ensure that your PA system is in phase, be careful to pay close attention to the positive and negative marking on the amplifier and wires. Make sure that the + terminal of the speaker, or banana connector, is connected to the + ter minal of the power amplifier and that the - terminal of the speaker, or banana connector, is connected to the - terminal of the power amplifier.For a detailed wiring diagram, see page 36 of this manual.
Here’s a tip: It’s fairly easy to identify a monitor that is out of phase just by listening, especially on a pop record. Listen for the parts of the music that you would expect to be in the center of the mix like kick drum and vocals. If you do not hear them directly in the center (for instance they sound like they are two signals panned hard right and left) then you are more than likely listening to an out-of-phase monitor system. (This test won’t work on early Beatles records where Ringo’s drum kit is panned all the to the right side. Try a Madonna record.)

About Impedance

Before you hook up your speaker cabinet, be sure that you understand a little about impedance. Impedance is the elec tronic load that the speaker puts on the power amplifier and is measured in Ohms.
Here is the tricky, yet simple rule of impedance: When two speakers, of equal impedance are wired in "Parallel", like when you use the Extension Output, the total impedance is cut in half and when two speakers are wire in “Series”, (usually for interna cabinet wiring only), the total impedance is the sum of the speakers individual impedance.
-
-
-
-
-
Each of the Resound models, EXCEPT the RS215 is 8 Ohms. So, when two Resound models, EXCEPT the RS215 are con­nected together in parallel, the total impedance is 4 Ohms. The RS215 impedance is 4 Ohms. So, when two RS215’s are connected together in parallel, the total impedance is 2 Ohms. The impedance of your speaker also has an effect on your amplifier. In general, the lower the impedance, the more power your amplifier will put out.
IMPORTANT NOTE
er’s recommended impedance for your amplifier to avoid any damage to your amplifier or voiding your warranty.

Using the EXTENSION Output

The Resound models provide a convenient Extension Output for connecting additional speaker cabinets in parallel. Be sure to read the section above on impedance to insure a proper hook up with your amplifier. To connect two Resounds using the Extension output, connect your amplifier output to the Input of the first Resound and then, connect the Extension Output to the Input of the second Resound.

Powering the Resound

Each of the Resound loudspeakers have a specific power rating, which is printed on the input jack-plate, and also, in the Specification section on page 10 of this manual. Be sure to check that your power amp has the correct power output for your Resound. Be careful to consider the total impedance if you are connecting more the one Resound to one side of a stereo power amplifier. Using a power amplifier with too low of a power rating can be dangerous since the output signal is often clipped in an effort to get the desired level. Over powering the Resound can result in catastrophic failure and therefore using any amplifier with a power rating over the recommend power rating may void your warranty.
: There is minimum safe impedance for running power amplifiers so be sure to check the manufactur-

Quick Set-Up

In the following pages of this manual you will find a detailed explanation of system set-ups, but if you just want to get started quickly, you can follow the diagram and steps below to set up a basic stereo PA system. NOTE: Before plugging in and turning on, it is important to remember the Golden Rule of audio … " LAST
ENGLISH
ON, FIRST OFF". Translated, this means that when turning on your system, you should always turn your power amplifiers or powered monitors on LAST, and when turning your system off, turn your power amps off FIRST. This helps avoid any loud pops caused by inrush current at power up, which can sometimes damage loud speakers.
1. Before connecting your Resound’s, make sure that the power of all your systems components are
turned off. Also, make sure that your power amplifier volume controls and the main left and right fad ers of your mixer are turned all the way down.
2. Connect the cables to your microphones and instruments, or a CD player, to your mixer.
3. Switch on the power of the mixer, instruments and/or CD player, and then switch on your power
amplifier.
4. While speaking into the mic (or playing the instrument or CD), raise the mixers main Left and Right
faders to the "0" position. Be sure that the mixer’s output meters are not clipping. If they are, adjust the mixer volumes down until the signal cleans up.
5. Now, slowly raise your power amp controls until you reach the desired listening level.

Microphone Positioning - How to Reduce Feedback

Feedback is the annoying howling and squealing that is heard when the micro­phone gets too close to the speaker and the volume is high. You get feedback when the microphone picks up the amplified signal from the speaker, and then amplifies through the speaker again, and then picks it up again, and so on and
ENGLISH
so on. In general, it is always recommended that any LIVE mic (a mic that’s on) is positioned behind the speaker enclosures. This will give you the best level from your system before feedback. One possible exception is when you are adjusting the sounds of the microphones, since you want to listen in front of the speaker to hear properly. To do this, lower the MAIN VOLUME while setting the EQ and effect from in front of the speakers. Once you have the sound you like, move the microphones to behind the speakers and raise the Main volume.

Speaker Placement

Whenever possible, it is a good idea to raise the speakers above the heads of the listening audience. The Resound enclosure features a standard 1 3/8” pole mount receptacle, which is compatible with speaker stands from a variety of manufacturers.

Using the Resound as a Floor Monitor

The Resound RS10M, RS12M and RS15M are ideal solutions for stage monitor­ing and thanks to the unique design of the RS10M and RS12M, two wedge monitor positions are possible. When placed on its side with the high fre quency horn facing to the left of the enclo

-
sure, the RS10M and RS12M are tilted at a 25 degree angle optimizing performance when used on a small stage. When the monitors are placed on their side with the high frequency horn facing to the right of the enclosure, they are tilted at a 30 degree angle optimizing per
­formance when used on larger stages. The RS15M features a wide dispersion pattern and is configured with a 30 degree angle making them ideal for electronic drum and keyboard monitors. In a large stage monitor system, sev
­eral Resound’s can be daisy-chained together using the EXTENSION SPEAKER output.
Note: Be sure to check the manufacturers minimum recommended impedance for your power amplifier to avoid overload and possi
­ble damage to both the speaker and amplifier. In many instances when using the Resound as a monitor system, you may choose to use an external equalizer like the Samson S Curve 131 to increase the volume and reduce the chance of feedback.
