Introduction

The Samson MXS Series stereo power amplifiers have been designed to provide solid, clean output with low distortion and wide dynamic range, along with the dependability demanded by professional front-of-house engineers and installers.

The efficient Class H design provides an abundance of power safely into loads as low as 2 ohms, over the full frequency band, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Input connections are made via both balanced XLR and balanced ¼” TRS connections. For the outputs, the MXS Series provides standard binding posts as well as a Speakon® connectors. To help you set the correct operating levels, the MXS amplifiers include front panel Signal, Output Level, and Peak LED indicators.

Like all Samson power amplifiers, the MXS Series’ internal electronics are based around a serious power-core, with robust power supply’s built to handle large current demand from bass frequencies. To keep the MXS amplifiers running cool, the design employs forced-air cooling via a temperature-sensitive, variable speed fan, which greatly reduces the chance of thermal and overheating problems. Multi-stage protection for power-up, short circuit, DC output, over current, and thermal, assures high reliability under the most grueling situations.

Optimized for live sound venues, houses of worship, commercial installations, and for driving live PA systems, the MXS amplifiers will deliver reliable power from gig-to-gig and venue-to-venue. In the following pages, you’ll find a detailed description of the many features of the MXS Series power amplifier, as well as a guided tour through its front and rear panels, step-by-step instructions for its setup and use, and full specifications.
