The Easy Way to Add More Bass to Your Setup

A prime choice for portable rigs, mobile DJs, and fixed installations alike, the Samson RS1500A will bolster your full-range speaker setup with 1,000 watts of thunderous Class D-fueled bass. This powered subwoofer houses a muscular 15-inch driver with a 3-inch voice coil, yielding rock-solid low end down to 54Hz. Moreover, the RS1500A integrates seamlessly into any PA system, thanks to its balanced I/O, which includes dedicated full-range and highpass outputs. You also get a variable crossover, Polarity switch, and built-in limiter. Finally, the RS1500A retains a pole-mount receptacle for dead-simple installation. Complete with a rugged solid-wood cabinet, the Samson RS1500A is an excellent answer when the question centers around how to add more impact to your live sound setup.

1,000 watts of Class D-powered bass

The RS1500A houses a 1,000-watt Class D amplifier, enabling it to achieve a maximum output of up to 117dB. Its 15-inch woofer, which contains a 3-inch voice coil, delivers clean, low-distortion low end down to 54Hz. Sweetwater's live sound experts have designed systems for everything from backyard parties to 200,000-seat stadiums, and we're impressed by how great the RS1500A sounds, especially in this price range.

Foolproof installation

Integrating the Samson RS1500A into your existing PA system couldn't be easier. This powered sub includes a full complement of balanced I/O, including dedicated full-range and highpass outputs, enabling you to choose what's best for your specific application. A 50–150Hz variable crossover simplifies the task of blending the RS1500A with your full-range speakers, plus you get a handy polarity-reverse switch. Lastly, a built-in pole mount receptacle makes installing a full-range speaker on top of your subwoofer a breeze.

Reviews

Great for solo musician...HEAVY THOUGH!
I already owned a full-range powered speaker, so I decided to go with this instead of the towers everyone is using.
It has a great sound and fills out the bottom nicely. It's a load, though. I put casters on it, and it makes it easier to move around.
I use it for a solo acoustic act. I have not tried it outside yet, but I expect it to work just fine.
Good sub
I'm using these under a pair of e.V z l x twelves. Sound quality is good. Wish it was a tick louder. Using them in a gymnasium in a couple weeks. I'll update this after.
