SX Series Features
The Samson SX Series power amplifier utilizes the latest technology in professional power amplifier design. Here are some of its
main features:
Power to spare - The SX Series, each amplifier delivers the following power ratings.
SX1200 2 x 300 Watts at
8Ω and 2 x 450 Watts at 4Ω
SX1800 2 x 400 Watts at 8Ω and 2 x 600 Watts at 4Ω
SX2400 2 x 550 Watts at
8Ω and 2 x 750 Watts at 4Ω
SX2800 2 x 700 Watts at 8Ω and 2 x 900 Watts at 4Ω
SX3200 2 x 800 Watts at
8Ω and 2 x 1100 Watts at 4Ω
For mono applications, a Bridge mode links both channels of the amplifiers, thus providing even more power, with power rat-
ings of 900 watts for the SX1200, 1200 watts for the SX1800, 1500 watts for the SX2400, 1800 watts for the SX2800 and a mas-
sive 2200 watts for the SX3200 into 8 ohms load.
Clean, crisp sound - Impressive audio specifications such as 0.04% THD, dynamic range of 105 dB, crosstalk of 80 dB, and fre-
quency response of 10 Hz to 55 kHz guarantee ultra-clean sound quality.
Independent input level controls for each channel allow precision adjustments.
LED signal indicators for each channel continuously display power output levels and allow you to correct for overloading
(clipping) conditions.
Unique stable bipolar circuit design that continuously keeps DC output during idling at or near zero volts (thus keeping idle
speakers at their zero point). This serves to minimize heat overload problems by effectively preventing the SX Series from
applying power when unnecessary.
Forced air cooling via two temperature-sensitive, variable speed fans provides reliable performance without thermal and
overheating problems.
Protection relay circuitry (with dedicated LEDs for each channel) that guards against overheating or faulty wiring conditions
and also prevents “thumps” when powering on or off. This means that you can use the SX Series with a single power strip into
which a mixer or other audio devices are connected, without danger of damage to connected speakers.
Combination input connectors for each channel accommodate both balanced XLR or balanced 1/4-inch TRS plugs.
Output connections are made via 5-way binding posts
and Speakon™ connectors.
Toroidal transformer power supply for high current and low profile.
User-resettable circuit breaker for fast, easy startup following a power supply overload.
The SX Series can be mounted in any standard 19" rack (taking just two rack spaces), making it easy to integrate the amp into
any fixed or traveling PA rig.
Rugged construction (an all-steel chassis with a cool gray finish and a lightweight anodized aluminum heat sink) makes the
SX Series eminently roadworthy.
Extended three-year warranty.
Last but certainly not least, value. The Samson SX Series has been designed from the ground up to deliver excellent yet
affordable sound quality
