provide a perfect solution for adding low frequency extension to just about any PA system. By combining high power
handling, satellite input filtering, along with quality speaker and cabinet components, the Resound RS15S and RS18S
provide serious bottom-end for any kind of live application. The low frequency drive units are constructed with heavy-
duty steel and aluminum cast-frame baskets and feature large voice coils, massive magnets, impregnated cones and
butyl surrounds. The RS15S and RS18S enclosures have been carefully voiced for punchy and articulate low-frequency
performance by employing a precision tuned shelf-port design. The result, the Resound RS15S and RS18S offer slamming
low-end that’s deep and controlled. To make your connections simple, each Resound model provides both 1/4-inch and
NEUTRIK SPEAKON® Input and Extension output connectors.The Extension Output is a full range output that can be used
to connect a satellite speaker, or another Resound subwoofer. Each subwoofer cabinet has its own 12dB per octave, 180
Hz, Low Pass crossover to the low frequency driver. With the Resound, setup and break down is quick and easy. The com-
pact cabinets include a 1 3/8” (35mm) pole mount receptacle for mounting satellite speakers and are easy to transport
thanks to the heavy-duty steel handles. Durable black carpet covering and heavy-gauge steel grills offer excellent protec-
tion against wear and tear. As fixed sound reinforcement or as a durable, great-sounding road PA, the Resound RS15S and
RS18S subwoofers are ideal for sound professionals and performers looking for serious low frequency output and studio
monitor sound quality from a PA speaker system.
