Power and Portability for Your Gigging PA

When looking for a PA subwoofer, gigging musicians at Sweetwater look for two things: power and portability. Whether you choose the 12-, 15-, or 18-inch model, these Samson RS series subwoofers deliver both attributes in spades. This 12-inch RS1200A is powered by a 1,000-watt Class-D amplifier for earthshaking rumble and presence, but its sound is tightly controlled and focused thanks to its internally braced wooden cabinet. A heavy-duty epoxy finish ensures that this sub can withstand the rigors of the road, and it easily integrates into any existing Samson RS series setup with balanced stereo XLR + 1/4-inch combo jacks plus balanced stereo XLR full-range and highpass outputs, which let you further emphasize low frequency representation. Conversely, a variable lowpass filter control sculpts your sub for specific events and venues. Finally, a simple system polarity switch guarantees that your subwoofer will always be in phase with the rest of your setup.

Samson RS1200A 1000-watt Active Subwoofer Features:

  • Powerful, portable 1000W subwoofer that makes an excellent foundation for any regularly gigging PA system
  • 12-inch woofer and 3-inch voice coil
  • 60Hz–140Hz frequency response with 24 dB/octave frequency type
  • Crossover Filter: 55Hz–150Hz (-3dB)
  • Max SPL of 117dB
  • Dimensions (L x W x H): 18.15 inches x 14.02 inches x 21.02 inches

Reviews

Good Bass Response
I'm a Mobile DJ and moved up to Powered Speakers
I'm using Harbinger VARI V2408 8 inch Tops and needed a Subwoofer to match up with them.
The Samson 12" Sub works perfectly!!
1000 watts is enough to get a nice thump and it doesn't weigh a TON!
Fits perfectly in my Prius.

Great Value
I love the adjustments. I love the fact that it can do many things as far as what it needs to do the staff at Sweetwater done a really good job Alden and his team really are there to support you.
Nice little subwoofer
We travel some and lead worship in some small churches.
They usually do not have a very good sound.
I purchased this to take with us as a supplemental sub.
It works perfect. Adds the depth their systems do not have.
And is small enough to transport easily along with all our other gear.
Also really thumps in the house. Not dual 18" thump, but a good addition.

I think they are nice
I never used them before, but my review of reading up on it seems like it is a decent speaker subwoofer
