S zone Features

The Samson S zone four-channel stereo zone mixer utilizes state-of-the-art, high quality audio circuit technol- ogy for precise tonal and level control. Here are some of the S zone’s main features:

•The S zone has four stereo Input Channels with a Volume control, Stereo/Mono switch and our dedi- cated Zone assignment switches.

•Channel 1 and Channel 2 inputs feature a high quality microphone pre-amp with phantom power allowing you to connect just about any dynamic or condenser microphone.

•The S zone features four stereo Zone Outputs, each with a Stereo/Mono switch, Volume control, High and Low equalizers and a six-segment LED bar VU Meter monitoring the output level, enabling you to control the overall level and tone independently for four discreet coverage areas.

•A remote Volume Control for each Zone Output, up to 3000 feet in distance is possible using standard 50k –100k linear taper potentiometer and two-con- ductor shielded wire.

•Microphone “Duck” switch on Channel 1 and Channel 2, which when turned on, allow any signal from the microphone inputs, like an announcement or page, to automatically lower the background music level.

•The S zone features a unique front panel monitor section including a zone assignment switch, head- phone jack, level control and internal super speaker allowing you to monitor the signal that is playing in any zone directly on the S zone, without having to physically be in the room that the signal is playing in.

•Ultra-low noise circuitry with high quality op-amps ensure superb audio fidelity.

•Electronically balanced and unbalanced input and output connections are made via easy to use Euroblock connection strips.

•Internal power supply ensures reliability and trouble- free operation.

•Standard 19" rack design (the S zone requires only a single rack space) for easy integration into any travel- ing or fixed installation audio system.

•Optional security cover kit prevents S Zone settings from accidentally being altered.

•All-steel chassis makes the S zone eminently road- worthy.

•Three year extended warranty.
