Guided Tour - S63 Rear Panel

5:Amp In - This unbalanced input allows you to connect any external mono- phonic line-level signal directly to the S63 power amplifier. This input is not affected by either the ten-band graphic master equalizer or the S63’s Main Level control. The Amp In jack can optionally also be used as an insert patch point as follows:

•Ring - A preamp output which is affected by both the ten-band graphic master equalizer and the S63’s Main Level control.

•Tip - An amp input which is not affected by either the ten-band graphic master equalizer or the S63’s Main Level control.

For more information about the use of the Amp In jack as an insert patch point, contact Samson Technical Support (516-932-1062) between 9 AM and 5 PM EST.

6:Preamp Out - This unbalanced output provides a monophonic line-level output from the S63 mixer section; it is normally used to connect the unit to an external power amplifier and speakers where additional power is required or where additional amplifier feeds are necessary. This output is not affected by the ten-band graphic master equalizer but it is affected by the S63’s Main Level control.

7:Monitor Out - This unbalanced output provides a monophonic line-level output from Effects Send 1, post-Monitor level control (but unaffected by the Main Level control). It is normally used to connect the unit to an external monitor mixer/amplifier/speaker system so that the performers can receive an onstage monitor mix independent of the house mix. See the “Suggested Setups” section of this manual for more information.

8:Speaker Output - These are the S63’s main outputs; use these unbalanced jacks to connect the S63 to any speakers rated at 4 ohms or greater (that is, 4, 8, or 16 ohms). The lower the ohm rating, the greater the power output. We recommend the use of 4 ohm speakers for long-term usage. The S63 delivers 210 watts of power into 4 ohms at less than 1% THD (Total Harmonic Distortion). In order to ensure correct phase correlation, the tip of the S63 speaker jack should be connected to the “+” (hot) input of your loudspeaker, and the sleeve of the S63 speaker jack should be connected to the “-” (ground) input of your loudspeaker.

9:Heat sink - Make sure this anodized aluminum heat sink is unobstructed when the S63 is powered on. In particular, we recommend that you keep the rear of the rack open in order to release heat. If your rack does not have a removable rear, space should be left open on the front of the rack cabinet, espe- cially immediately above the S63— remember, heat rises!

The Samson S63 and S83 microphones are notable products in the realm of professional audio equipment, offering high performance and reliability for various sound applications. These microphones cater to a wide range of users, from musicians to broadcast professionals, ensuring superior sound quality in every scenario.

The Samson S63 is a cardioid dynamic microphone renowned for its robust construction and versatility. It is designed to provide excellent sound capture, especially for live performances and studio recordings. One of its main features is its high output level, which enables the microphone to pick up sound effectively while minimizing background noise. The cardioid pattern is particularly useful for isolating the sound source, reducing the interference from other instruments or background sounds. The S63's frequency response spans from 50 Hz to 15 kHz, making it suitable for a variety of vocal ranges and instruments.

On the other hand, the Samson S83 is a boundary microphone that excels in capturing sound from a wider space, making it ideal for conference rooms, boardrooms, and live events. This microphone features a low-profile design that allows for discreet placement on surfaces, ensuring it blends into any environment. The S83 also employs an omnidirectional pickup pattern, allowing it to capture sound equally from all directions, which is essential in group settings or panel discussions. With a frequency response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz, the S83 ensures clarity for both speech and music.

Both the S63 and S83 are built with durability in mind, featuring sturdy metal construction that can withstand the rigors of frequent use. They also come equipped with internal pop filters, which help to reduce plosive sounds when speaking or singing closely into the microphones. Additionally, these microphones are compatible with various audio equipment, including mixers and audio interfaces, making them highly adaptable for different audio setups.

In summary, the Samson S63 and S83 microphones offer distinct advantages tailored to specific use cases. The S63 is perfect for vocalists and performers requiring a reliable dynamic microphone that handles sound isolation with ease. Meanwhile, the S83 serves as an excellent choice for capturing sound in a broader space, ideal for panel discussions and conferences. Together, they exemplify quality sound engineering and effectiveness essential for both live events and studio environments.
