Samson Power Amplifiers EX500 ACTIVE SUBWOOFER, dB500a and dB500, Public Address Systems

dB500a and dB500

Unquestionably the finest sounding large format PA speaker available today. The dB500a powered speaker, and its passive counterpart the dB500 represent one of the most extensive R&D projects ever taken on by Samson.

dB500a

The dB500a powered loudspeaker

Inside our rigid custom designed cabinet is a 15” driver designed exclusively for this project. It’s matched with a new 1.75” titanium high frequency driver, aimed through a

1” diameter horn. The dB500a features 500 watts of Class H power (400 watts low frequency/100 watts high frequency) and has a crossover designed for high SPL. Our exclusive Optimax™ signal processing circuitry provides total speaker protection but won’t cut the low end at high volumes, as similar speakers with sliding filters do.

The back panel has a built-in mixer-like preamp section with mic and line inputs, XLR connectors and level controls. Controls for the selectable low pass filter and Optimax processing are also included.

STAGE MONITOR POSITIONS

dB500 and dB500a speakers are also designed to work as floor monitors. The cabinet is designed to provide

two different monitor angles, depending on the application and size of the stage.

dB500 Passive Loud Speaker

The passive dB500 has many of the same features as the dB500a, including the same rugged enclosure and advanced drivers. A natural sounding fixed crossover is built-in, and the back panel features 1/4" and XLR connectors.

Both dB500 and dB500a speaker cabinets feature an array of mounting options.

Designed with floor monitoring in mind, they are also easily stacked or permanently installed.

A 1 3/8" pole receptacle is built in, and 10 reinforced fly points are available.

EX500 ACTIVE SUBWOOFER

An excellent sub for serious sound reinforcement, and the perfect match for the dB500a.

The EX500 provides 500 Watts of power driving a custom, heavy-duty 15" low frequency driver. It is the ideal complement to the dB500/dB500a, or our Expedition Pro speakers. The built-in stereo crossover lets you use the EX500 in mono or as a common subwoofer in a stereo system. It also features a steel grill and rigid corners for durability, as well as an integral pole mount for conveniently mounting Expedition cabinets above.
