SX Series FeaturesThe Samson SX Series power amplifier utilizes the latest technology in professional power amplifier design. Here are some of itsmain 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 4ΩSX1800 2 x 400 Watts at 8Ω and 2 x 600 Watts at 4ΩSX2400 2 x 550 Watts at 8Ω and 2 x 750 Watts at 4ΩSX2800 2 x 700 Watts at 8Ω and 2 x 900 Watts at 4ΩSX3200 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 idlespeakers at their zero point). This serves to minimize heat overload problems by effectively preventing the SX Series fromapplying power when unnecessary.• Forced air cooling via two temperature-sensitive, variable speed fans provides reliable performance without thermal andoverheating problems.• Protection relay circuitry (with dedicated LEDs for each channel) that guards against overheating or faulty wiring conditionsand also prevents “thumps” when powering on or off. This means that you can use the SX Series with a single power strip intowhich 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 intoany fixed or traveling PA rig.• Rugged construction (an all-steel chassis with a cool gray finish and a lightweight anodized aluminum heat sink) makes theSX 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 yetaffordable sound quality.ENGLISH4
