ARCHITECT’S & ENGINEER’S SPECIFICATIONS
The S 3 Way from Samson shall be a selectable stereo 2-way,
stereo 3-way, or mono 4-way crossover. All rear panel inputs
and outputs shall be on XLR connectors. There shall be a front
panel power switch and rear panel IEC connector for AC main
power. In the center main section there shall be a global operation
2 way, 3 way, 4 way mono, and 4 way low mode select rotary
control, a lighted CD horn EQ push button, lighted Mono sub push
button, lighted limiter push button and rotary limiter threshold
control. All variable controls have LED indicators to determine
the controls in use and function depending on mode of operation.
Each frequency divided output shall have a front panel lighted
mute button and lighted phase switch. Each channel shall have
an input gain control with 4 segment LED metering. Each low
frequency section shall have a variable delay from 0 to 2 mS for
sub cabinet alignment and a level control. On channel one the
low to mid frequency shall be variable from 18Hz to 400Hz with
a times 10 range switch for 35Hz to 8kHz control. The Mid and
high output sections shall have level controls and a mid to high
variable crossover control from 175Hz to 4kHz with a times 10
switch for 350Hz to 8kHz operation. On channel 2 the low to mid
frequency shall be variable from 35Hz to 800Hz with a times
10 range switch for 350Hz to 8kHz control. The Mid and high
output sections shall have level controls and a mid to high variable
crossover control from 350Hz to 8kHz with a times 10 switch for
700Hz to 8kHz operation. Channel two shall differ from channel
one for 4-way and 4-way low operation.
