  • Page 8: Input Connections

    Input Connections The RSX jack plates feature parallel speaker connectors. This enables you to directly connect an extension cabinet to an RSX speaker. Only use one ¼" or Speakon® connector as an input connector from an amplifier. Typically, you will only connect a single extension cabinet to an RSX cabinet, but it is possible to daisy- chain multiple cabinets.
  • Page 9: Basic Set Up

    Basic Set Up The RSX loudspeakers are passive cabinets, which means that they need to be connected to a power amplifier to reproduce an audio signal. Each speaker cabinet features parallel connectors which enable each cabinet to be daisy chained to an additional loudspeaker. When connecting multiple speakers to a power amplifier or powered mixer, you must pay attention to the mini- mum load impedance of the amplifier.
  • Page 10: Using Speaker Stands

    Using Speaker Stands The RSX110, RSX112, and RSX115 feature standard 1 ∕ " pole mount receptacles, which enable the speaker to be mounted on a standard tripod stand or subwoofer satellite pole. For best results, raise the speakers above the heads of the listening audience.
  • Page 11: Floor Monitor Positioning

    In many instances, when using the RSX speakers as a monitor system, you may choose to use an external equalizer like the Samson S-Curve 131 to tailor the sound to cut through the stage levels and to reduce the chance of feedback.
  • Page 12: Configuring The Rsx118S Subwoofer

    Configuring the RSX118S Subwoofer Before you start plugging in cables, you should take a minute to decide how you want to inter- face your new RSX118S subwoofer. Most system set-ups fall into one of two categories: Monoor Stereo sub operation. Mono Sub Operation In most cases, a common (mono) sub bass setup is preferable.
  • Page 13: Using An External Crossover

    When configuring your sound system, you may want to use an exter- nal crossover, like the Samson S 3-way, to fine tune the crossover frequency and incorporate the subwoofer with the full-range speakers, as well as to match the room where the system is installed.
  • Page 14: Permanent Installation

    Permanent Installation The RSX series loudspeakers are a perfect solution for many fixed installations such as live sound venues, discos, schools, houses of worship, convention centers and airport terminals. The two-way speaker enclosures are extremely versatile for installation as they can be suspended in several different positions by using the twelve fly points.
  • Page 15: Cable Wiring

    Cable Wiring The RSX series speaker connections are made via the rear panel ¼" and/or Speakon® connec- tors for easy interface with industry standard cables. Standard, unshielded speaker wire (avail- able at your local pro audio or music store), with either ¼" phone or Speakon connectors and wire gauge of 12–14 AWG is recommended.
