They complement full-range speaker setups and easily integrate with your Samson RS Series active speakers to extend the low end of your PA system's sound. Their internally braced wooden cabinet provides a tight, controlled sound that delivers highly accurate bass. A heavy-duty epoxy finish ensures that the subwoofer can withstand the rigors of live performance, both in fixed installations and as part of a traveling setup. Whether you're performing in a large venue, nightclub, or house of worship, having an RS Series active subwoofer as part of your system will help you deliver a complete listening experience.

    Thunderous Sound

    Adaptability is important when building a sound system. RS Series active subwoofers meet the challenge with an incredible 1000 watts from a high- efficiency Class D amplifier, delivering the power without the weight. Heavy-duty woofers, RS1200A: 12" with 3" voice coil; RS1500A: 15" with 3" voice coil; RS1800A: 18" with 4" voice coil, deliver deep, impactful sound.

    Easy Integration

    RS Series active subwoofers are easy to integrate into any system. With balanced stereo XLR-1/4" combo inputs and balanced stereo XLR full-range and stereo high-pass outputs, you can drive your satellite speakers or daisy-chain additional subwoofers. The high-pass output option allows you to focus the subwoofer's power exclusively on the low frequencies. The variable low-pass filter control allows you to properly tune the subwoofer for specific applications, while the system polarity switch can be used to ensure the subwoofer is in phase with the rest of your PA. Enhance your listening experience with an RS subwoofer that adapts to your needs and delivers uncompromising quality every time.
