Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the Samson Servo Amplifier! Although designed for easy operation, we suggest you first take some time to go through these pages so you can fully understand how we’ve implemented a number of unique features.

The Servo Amplifier is a stereo power amplifier which is optimized for use in both professional and project recording studio environments as well as for live performance. This manual covers three models, which differ primarily in terms of the power they provide: the Servo-550, which delivers 275 watts of power per channel (into 4 ohms); the Servo-260, which delivers 130 watts of power per channel (into 4 ohms); and the Servo-170, which delivers 85 watts of power per channel (into 4 ohms). In addition, the Servo-550 provides a mono bridging switch and a binding post (banana jack) output connector. All Servo Amplifier models can be used in a variety of applications, including powering studio nearfield or performance stage monitors, providing amplification for small and medium-sized public address systems, driving small and medium bi-amped and tri-amped speaker systems, as an extension to a home hi-fi system, and as the main amplifier in installations such as classrooms and corporate conference rooms.

In these pages, you’ll find a detailed description of the many features of your Servo Amplifier, as well as a guided tour through its front and rear panels, step-by-step instructions for its setup and use, reference appendices, and full specifications. You’ll also find a warranty card enclosed—please don’t forget to fill it out and mail it in so that you can receive online technical support and so we can send you updated information about these and other Samson products in the future.

SPECIAL NOTE: Should your unit ever require servicing, a Return Authorization number (RA) is necessary. Without this number, the unit will not be accepted.
