GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Samson S•3-Way is a one-space, dual channel electronic crossover capable of managing the frequency control for stereo 2-way, stereo 3-way,

4-way mono and 4-way mono low speaker systems. The S•3-Way is an ideal crossover solution for small and large PA systems, live sound venues, commercial installations, recording studio monitors and DJ setups.

The input gain features +/-12 dB range with LED metering and peak indicators. The S•3-Way features low, mid and high frequency outputs with +/-6 dB of gain control. Each output incorporates a mute switch for monitoring the individual frequency bands and a phase switch to invert the phase of the output. The first crossover point is sweepable in three ranges: from 35 Hz to 800 Hz, from 350 Hz to 8 kHz with the 10X-multiplier switch engaged, or from 16 Hz to 400 Hz in 4-way low mode. The second crossover point is sweepable from 175 Hz to 4 kHz or from 350 Hz to 8 kHz, depending on the setting of the mode switch.

In addition to its flexibility in configuring to different sound systems, the S•3-Way has advanced features such as CD horn equalization, dedicated limiter, high- pass filter and a delay section with up to 2ms of delay to time-align low frequency outputs for improved phase response of any PA system. The S•3-Way is

a complete electronic crossover solution, which will give you precise control and superior sound from your loudspeaker system.
