Overview

The Samson RS112A is a 2-way active loudspeaker built for musicians, presenters, DJs, and anyone who needs a self-contained sound reinforcement solution. It pairs a 12-inch low-frequency driver with a 2-inch voice coil and a 1-inch high-frequency tweeter, delivering a frequency response from 55Hz to 20kHz and a maximum SPL of 115dB at one metre. The integrated Class A/B amplifier pushes 400 watts peak (170 watts RMS), providing enough headroom for rehearsal spaces, small venues, houses of worship, and outdoor gatherings.

What sets the RS112A apart from basic powered speakers is its onboard mixer section. Two XLR-1/4" combo inputs with independent volume and variable compressor controls let you plug in microphones or line-level sources directly, while a 1/8" aux input accommodates phones and media players. Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP adds wireless streaming capability, and the XPD Wireless port provides a clean integration path for Samson's digital wireless microphone systems. An XLR Mix output enables daisy-chaining to a second speaker. The polypropylene enclosure is impact-resistant with a full metal grille protecting the drivers, and the 1-3/8" pole mount socket plus floor monitor angles give you flexible placement options for any setup.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

Built-in 2-channel mixer with XLR-1/4" combo inputs eliminates the need for a separate mixing board in simple setups
Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity allows wireless music playback from phones, tablets, or laptops
Variable compressor on each channel helps control dynamics without external processing

👎 Cons

No dedicated EQ controls beyond the compressor, limiting tonal adjustment at the speaker
Bluetooth version 4.0 lacks the range and codec support of newer Bluetooth standards
