Congratulations on purchasing the Samson Resound HD Series loudspeaker system! The Resound HD speaker
systems by Samson represent a new level of audio performance and sound quality for mobile or fixed PA
systems. The new Resound HD series expands on the previous line offering improved high and low frequency
drivers, higher power handling and updated cosmetics. Whether you are using the RS10HD, RS12HD, RS15HD
or RS215HD front-firing PA speakers for main “front of house” PA, or the RS10mHD, RS12mHD or RS15mHD
for wedge floor monitors, the Resound HD 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 HD series provides premium audio for any kind of live application. For deep low end that stays tight
and punchy, each of the Resound HD loudspeakers features heavy-duty, custom designed low frequency
drivers. A ten-inch woofer in the Resound HD RS10HD and RS10mHD , a 12-inch for the Resound RS12HD
and RS12mHD and 15-inch woofers for the RS15HD, RS15mHD and RS215HD. To handle the high frequency
content, the Resound HD series employs a 1.4-inch (34 millimeter) titanium diaphragm high frequency driver
on a 1" throat, wide dispersion horn. The result, the Resound HD series speaker systems offer crystal-clear
audio and an ultra-wide sound field. To make your connections simple, each Resound HD 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 compact cabinets can be placed
on the floor or stand mounted using the integral 1 3/8" pole mount receptacle. With the Resound HD, setup
and break down is quick and easy. As fixed sound reinforcement or as a durable, great-sounding road PA, the
Resound HD monitor is ideal for sound professionals and performers looking for serious output and studio
monitor sound quality from a PA speaker system.
