Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Samson Rubicon R10s Active Subwoofer. Taking care of the low end

for your Rubicon or any any near-field monitor system, a powerful 150-watt low frequency ampli

fier drives a heavy-duty 10-inch transducer, reproducing tones between 40 –180 Hz. The R10s’s

low frequency driver is an 10-inch, 34mm excursion transducer with a Butyl surround, provid

ing extended range and tight low frequency response. The R10s comes with an infrared remote

control, allowing you to easily control your monitor system from anywhere in the control room.

The remote control instantly gives you additional control room monitoring features by providing

Sub Volume, System Volume, Dim, Sub Mute and System Mute. In order to maximize the sound of

your monitor system, the R10s has a built-in active crossover, with variable crossover frequency,

for connecting to your satellite speakers. The R10s provides intelligent sub-satellite control thanks

to the clever switching that automatically returns the satellites to full-range operation whenever

the R10s is muted. The rear panel features a footswitch jack allowing you to easily switch on and

off the subwoofer on the fly. With a phase switch to time align your monitors, the R10s provides

expanded control. Balanced inputs and outputs on standard XLR and 1/4-inch connectors make

interfacing to other active monitors or power amplifier simple. The R10s’s enclosure is constructed

of rigid MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) to insure maximum sound pressure level and is finished

in durable black satin textured paint. The R10s is also a perfect add-on to your Rubicon 5a, 6a, or

8a, or for any near field monitor system where extended low end is desired.

In these pages, you’ll find a detailed description of the features of the R10s subwoofer, as well as
