Thank you for purchasing the Samson RL Loudspeaker. The RL112A and RL115A are

lightweight and powerful speaker systems featuring 800 watts of bi-amped, Class D power. The

RL112A and RL115A, respectively, feature 12” and 15” heavy-duty, long-excursion woofers,

as well as a 1” neodymium high frequency driver mounted in 90° x 60° wide-dispersion horns.

The speaker cabinets provide both XLR and 1/4” inputs that handle microphone or line level

inputs. The RL Loudspeakers also include a USB Wireless port for connecting Samson XPD

Series wireless microphone systems. The XLR Mix Output allows you to “daisy-chain” multiple

RL cabinets together to create larger sound reinforcement systems.

Each cabinet’s trapezoidal shape allows it to be conﬁgured for either front-of-house use, or for

operation as a wedge-style monitor. In addition, the compact cabinets can easily be stacked

using the built-in bumpers, or can be stand-mounted using the integral 1 3/8” pole-mount

receptacles.

The RL Loudspeaker system’s durable enclosure is made of high-impact polypropylene with a

scuff-resistant textured ﬁnish, and include a heavy-grade steel grill, offering excellent protection

against wear and tear for truly portable audio. The RL Loudspeakers are ideal for live music, DJ,

lecture, and installed sound applications, or anywhere serious power and superior sound quality

are desired.

In these pages, you’ll ﬁnd a detailed description of the features of your RL Loudspeaker, as

well as step-by-step instructions for its setup and use. If your loudspeaker was purchased

in the United States, you’ll also ﬁnd a registration card enclosed—don’t forget to follow the

instructions so that you can receive online technical support and so that we can send you

updated information about this and other Samson products in the future. Also, be sure to check

out our website www.samsontech.com for complete information about our full product line.

Introduction

5RL112 A / R L115A

Quick Start

The following steps will help you get started using your RL112A/RL115A Loudspeakers with a

mixer.

1. Turn the RL Loudspeaker’s and Mixer Power switch to the OFF positions.

2. Turn the VOLUME control(s) on the rear panel of the RL Loudspeaker(s) down, fully

counterclockwise.

3. If you are using your RL Loudspeaker(s) for live performance, set the Contour switch in the

OFF (out) position. If you are using your RL Loudspeaker(s) for music playback, set the

CONTOUR switch to the ON (in) position.

4. Following the manufacturer’s instruction, connect the audio sources to your mixer.

5. Connect either a XLR or 1/4” cable from the output of your mixer to the INPUT 1 jack on

the RL112A/RL115A rear panel. Set the SENSITIVITY switch to the LINE position.

6. Connect the supplied power cable to the IEC socket on the back of the loudspeaker. Plug

the power cable into an AC outlet.

Note: Always make sure that the AC outlet is conﬁgured with the correct voltage as

indicated on the rear panel of the RL Loudspeaker loudspeaker.

7. Switch the RL Loudspeaker’s Power switch to the ON position.

8. Run an audio signal from your mixer and check that you are getting a good level using the

mixers output meter.

9. Slowly raise the RL Loudspeaker’s VOLUME control until you have reached the desired

level.

10. If the volume from the speakers gets really loud, or you see the Limit indicator blinking

frequently, turn down the VOLUME control on the RL112A/RL115A a little until the Peak

indicator does not light, or only lights occasionally with signal peaks.

Note: Before plugging in and turning on, remember the “last on, first off” rule of powered audio

gear - When powering up your system, be sure that all the wires are connected, first turn on

your mixer and any other outboard gear, then turn on your RL Loudspeakers. When powering

down, turn off your RL Loudspeakers off first and then your mixer and outboard gear.

Follow these steps to connect a microphone level signal to your RL Loudspeaker and daisy-chain

the signal to a second RL Loudspeaker:

• Set the both RL Loudspeaker’s POWER switch to the OFF position.

• Turn the VOLUME control fully down (counterclockwise).

• Connect the power cables for each cabinet to an AC socket.

• Connect a standard XLR cable from the main RL Loudspeaker’s MIX OUT to the second RL

Loudspeaker’s INPUT 1 XLR input.

• On the second RL Loudspeaker, set the SENSITIVITY switch to the LINE position.

• Using a standard XLR cable, plug a dynamic microphone into the RL Loudspeaker’s XLR

INPUT.

• Set the SENSITIVITY switch to the MIC position.

• Switch the Power switch to the ON position.

• While speaking or singing into the microphone, slowly raise the VOLUME control until you

have reached the desired level.

• For larger sound reinforcement you can run several monitors using the Link Output to

daisy-chain one RL Loudspeaker to another. Set the input Sensitivity on the additional

cabinets to the LINE level position.

Connecting a Wired Microphone

7RL112 A / R L115A

1. Plug the Samson XPD USB receiver into

the XPD Wireless USB jack on the rear

panel of the RL Loudspeaker.

2. Turn the CH2 Volume knob on

the RL Loudspeaker completely

counterclockwise.

3. Place a fresh set of AA (LR6) batteries

in the transmitter battery holder, taking

care to observe the polarity markings,

then replace the cover.

4. Turn on the power to the transmitter by

pressing and holding Power switch; the

indicator light on the transmitter and

receiver will light amber.

5. Speak or sing into the mic at a normal

performance level and raise the CH2

Volume control until the desired level is

reached.

Connecting XPD Wireless Microphone (sold separately)

Rear Panel Layout

1. XLR & 1/4” Combo Input - Use this XLR

- 1⁄4” input for balanced microphone or

line level device.

2. SENSITIVITY Switch (Mic/Line) -

Matches the channel sensitivity to the

input audio source signal.

3. Volume Control (CH 1) - This Volume

knob adjusts the level of the Channel 1

input.

4. XPD WIRELESS Input - Connect a

Samson XPD digital wireless USB

receiver to this input. The USB

connector supplies 5V 200mA at

of power to charge a small portable

USB device like an MP3 player or

smartphone.

5. Volume Control (CH 2) - Controls the

level of the XPD USB wireless input.

6. MIX OUT - Male XLR connector used to

link multiple RL Loudspeaker cabinets.

7. SIGNAL / LIMIT Indicator - This indicator

lights green when signal is present.

It will light red when the amp is near

the clipping point and the limiter is

engaged.

8. POWER Indicator - This LED lights

GREEN when amp is active.

9. CONTOUR Switch - This switch enables

an equalization curve that is ideal for

music playback.

10. POWER Switch - Switches on the RL

Loudspeaker’s main power.

11. AC Power Inlet - Connect the supplied

standard IEC AC power cable here.

12. Fuse Holder - The fuse holder comes

from the factory with the appropriately

rated fuse for your model. If you need to

change this fuse for any reason, replace

it with one that has the same exact

rating.

9RL112 A / R L115A

Positioning the RL112A/RL115A

Speaker Placement

Whenever possible, it is a good idea to raise the

speakers above the heads of the listening audience. The

RL Loudspeaker enclosures include standard 1-3/8”

(35mm) pole mount receptacles with locking bolts,

which are compatible with speaker stands from a variety

of manufacturers. In a smaller setting like a school

cafeteria, library, or a mall kiosk, you can also use the

RL Loudspeaker loudspeaker in the tilt back monitor

positions, which will improve the projection of the

speakers and may eliminate the need for speaker stands.

When using a speaker pole mount, be sure the pole is

capable of supporting the weight of the RL Loudspeaker.

Speaker stands should only be placed on ﬂat, level

surfaces.

Note: It is recommended to have another person assist

when mounting the RL Loudspeaker speaker onto a

speaker stand, or when adjusting the stand while the

speaker is mounted on the stand.

Floor Monitor

The RL112A/RL115A may be used as ﬂoor stage

monitors by placing the speaker on its angled side.

When placed on its side, the RL Loudspeaker is

tilted at a 45° angle, providing optimal coverage

for the performer.
