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.
FEATURES
> Two-way passive loudspeaker systems featuring high
quality components and providing clean, articulate sound
reinforcement for vocal and/or music reproduction.

(44mm) mylar diaphragm fitted to a 1-inch (25mm) throat,
