3RSX Passive Loudspeakers
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Samson RSX series passive loudspeaker system. The RSX series
are high performance, two-way passive loudspeakers designed for portable, front of house and
fixed installation sound reinforcement applications.
Perfect for large PA systems, the RSX215 features two, heavy-duty 15" (380 mm) low frequency drivers with 3" (76 mm) voice coils, with power handling of 1200 watts AES, and 4800
watts peak. The RSX 115 has a single heavy-duty 15" (380 mm) low frequency drivers with 3"
(76 mm) voice coils, with power handling of 600 watts AES, and 2400 watts peak. Detailed
high frequency reproduction is produced by a Celestion 1.75" (44 mm) PEPT compression driver, mounted in a 60° x 90° horn. The result is brilliant, crystal-clear audio with precision control
of the sound field.
Audio connections are managed with 2-pole, locking Speakon® or ¼” phone connectors. The
speakers include parallel input and extension jacks for expanding the system.
The enclosure is constructed from 9-layer plywood, finished with a durable black textured paint,
and black powder-coated perforated steel grille backed with black cloth, ensuring for maximum
protection against wear and tear. The loudspeaker is furnished with twelve M10x30 fly-points
for applications that require permanent installation.
As fixed sound reinforcement or as a durable, great-sounding road PA, the RSX loudspeaker is
ideal for sound professionals and performers looking for serious output and precision sound quality
from a PA speaker system.

instructions for its setup and use, and full specifications. If your loudspeaker was purchased
