The new S1500 power amplifier from Samson is designed
for maximum reliability and efficient performance in a vari-
ety of live sound reinforcement situations, commercial
installations and for powering PA systems.
Delivering 750 watts per side into four ohms and 1500
watts into eight ohms in bridged mono mode, the three-
space rackmount amp features two speed-controlled fans
that react to changes in temperature for maximum efficien-
cy. A bipolar design enables more stable operation while
ensuring high-quality audio performance. The front panel
includes two precise 41-detent input level controls with 3-
segment LED, output metering and dual protection LEDs
linked to special relay-controlled LEDs to avoid speaker
damage.
A number of practical features such as XLR inputs and
locking TRS inputs and parallel outputs for "daisy-chain-
ing" several amps together complete this rugged performer.
