Positioning Rsx Loudspeakers - Samson RSX M10a Owner's Manual

Positioning RSX Loudspeakers

Speaker Placement
The RSX Active Loudspeakers 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.
When mounting a speaker onto any stand, always
ensure that the stand is on a flat, level surface,
with the legs fully extended. Be sure to check that
the maximum load weight for the stands is greater
than the weight of the RSX loudspeaker. Never
use a stand with a maximum load weight less than
the speaker weight. Do not attempt to mount more
than one speaker on a stand at one time. The RSX
loudspeakers are heavy. It is recommended to have a
second person help place the cabinet on a stand.
When the speaker is placed on a stand, always check
the integrity and center of gravity of the system.
If the speaker can be tipped easily, or the pole is
swaying, it is recommended that you lower the height
of the stand. Position the stand and route cables so
that the performers and the audience cannot tip over
or trip on the system.
When using the RSXM10a and RSXM12a on
a speaker stand, it is recommended to set the
MONITOR/FOH switch in the FOH (Front of House)
position for optimal frequency response.

Using the RSX112a/RSX115a as a Floor Monitor
The RSX112a/RSX115a cabinet design features
integral 45° monitor angles, controlled bass frequency
reproduction, and clear high frequency sound, making the
RSX112a/RSX115a ideal for stage monitoring applications
or whenever a performer needs to direct sound to their
ears.
In a large stage monitor system, several RSX112a/
RSX115a speakers can be daisy-chained together using the
parallel speaker connectors.
In many instances, when using the RSX speakers as
a monitor system, you may choose to use an external
equalizer to tailor the sound to cut through the stage levels
and to reduce the chance of feedback.
