Samson Rubicon R10s, Owner'S Manual

Mono Sub With Active Satellites

 If you have active monitors, installation is easy using the R10s's LINE LEVEL ioutputs.  Below is a typical system set-up 
using the R10s with a mixer  and a pair of active satellite loudspeakers. The R10s’s inputs and outputs utilize industry 
standard RCA and XLR connectors.  For a detailed wiring diagram, see the section “R10s Connections” on page 16.  Follow 
the steps in the diagram below to set up your system.

• 

 Lower your mixer’s master outputs to all the way off. 

  
• 

 Connect the mixer’s left output to the R10s’s LEFT LINE INPUT and the mixer’s right output to the R10s’s RIGHT 
LINE INPUT.  Now connect the R10s’s LEFT LINE OUTPUT to the input of the left powered satellite, and the R10s’s 
RIGHT LINE OUTPUT to the input of the right powered satellite.

• 

 Now adjust the FREQUENCY control to the desired frequency.  Consult your studio monitors owner’s manual for 
a recommended crossover point.  You can also use your ears by adjusting the SWEEP control to the frequency 
that sounds good to you.  A good place to start is about 70 Hz. (10 O'clock)

• 

 Run an audio signal (like some music from a CD) through your mixer and raise the level to a comfortable listen-
ing level.  Now slowly raise the R10s  SUB VOLUME control and listen to the low frequency output. Adjust the 
R10s to the level of low frequency output that you like.  Now, when you raise and lower your mixer’s output, the 
R10s and satellites will track at the same relative volume.
