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 mil-
limeter) 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.
Heavy-grade steel grills and durable carpet covering offer excellent protection against wear and tear. The com-
pact 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 out-
put and studio monitor sound quality from a PA speaker system.
