SERIES	DESCRIPTION
SERVO 120A	POWER AMPLIFIER

FEATURES

>Power to spare - Each channel delivers 60 watts of power into 4 Ohms (or, in Bridge mode, 120 watts into 8 Ohms).

>Clean, crisp sound - Impressive audio specifications such as

.01% THD, S/N of 105 dB, crosstalk of 75 dB, and frequency response of 3 Hz to 65 kHz guarantee ultra-clean sound quality in any live or recording environment.

>Independent input level controls for each channel with 41-position detents.

>Ten-segment LED meters for each channel continuously display power output levels and allow you to correct for overloading (clipping) conditions.

>Front-panel Protection LED shows you at a glance overheating or faulty wiring conditions.

>Innovative front-panel Speaker on/off switch and dedicated headphone jack enables private cue monitoring of the input signal.

>Both electronically balanced 1/4˝ TRS and unbalanced RCA-type input connector jacks are provided along with 5-way binding post output connectors.

>Convection cooling (no fan) makes for whisper-quiet operation even in critical listening environments such as recording studios.

>Unique bipolar circuit design that continuously keeps DC output during idling at or near 0 volts (thus keeping idle speakers at their zero point). This serves to minimize heat overload problems by effectively preventing the Servo 120a from applying power when unnecessary.

>Protection relay circuitry (linked to the DC offset circuitry) that prevents “thumps” when powering on or off. This means that you can use the Servo 120a with a single power strip into which a mixer or other audio devices are connected, without danger of damage to connected speakers.

>Toroidal transformer power supply.

>Rugged construction (an all-steel chassis with a titanium finish and a lightweight anodized aluminum heat sink) makes the Servo 120a eminently roadworthy.

>Flexible design allows the Servo 120a to be used free-standing or, with the use of included rack ears, mounted in any standard 19˝ rack (taking just a single rack space).

>Three-year warranty.

ARCHITECT’S & ENGINEER’S SPECIFICATIONS

The Samson Servo 120a shall be a single space rackmount stereo power amplifier. It shall deliver 60 watts per channel at 4 Ohms or 120 watts into 8 Ohms in bridge mono mode. It shall have 1/4˝ balanced inputs and RCA unbalanced inputs. It shall be a bi-polar design and use a toroidal transformer. The front panel shall have volume controls and LED metering for each channel. The front panel shall also have a headphone output jack and an associated speaker mute switch. The rear panel shall also have binding posts for the amplifier outputs.
