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.
