Samson Servo 200 Stereo Power Amplifier, 100W per Channel

The Samson Servo 200 stereo power amplifier has been designed to provide robust, clean output with low distortion and wide dynamic range, along with the dependability demanded by the most professional audio engineers and installers. The convenient 2 rack space design is compact, and yet there’s plenty of power available. With 2x 66 Watts at 8 Ohms, 2x 100 Watts at 4 Ohms, over the full frequency spectrum, from 10 Hz to 55 kHz. For mono applications, a Bridge mode links both channels of the amplifiers, thus providing even more single channel power, with a power rating of 200 watts into an 8 Ohm load. Input connections are available for both unbalanced RCA connections and balanced 1/4-inch TRS connections. For the outputs, the Servo 200 amplifier provides standard 5-way binding posts and 1/4” phone jacks. Front-panel controls and displays include a power switch with LED indicator, as well as independent left and right channel input level controls. To help you set the correct operating levels, the Servo 200 amplifier includes front panel Signal, Peak and Protection LED indicators. There's also a ten-segment VU meter to help you set a good operating level. Like all serious power amplifiers, the Servo 200’s internal electronics are based around a serious powercore, with an over-sized toroidal transformer and large extruded heat sink. To keep the Servo 200 amplifier running cool, the design employs twin internal wind tunnels with forced-air cooling via two temperature-sensitive, variable speed fans, which greatly reduce the chance of thermal and overheating problems. Multi-stage protection for power-up, over-heating, over-current, short circuit, low output impedance and DC voltage, assures high reliability under the most demanding situations. The Servo 200 amp is road tough with its all steel chassis and 19-inch rack mount design. The Servo 200 amplifier is ready for a life on the road, or to make its home in a fixed installation. Optimized for live sound venues, houses of worship, commercial installations, and for driving small and medium-sized live PA systems, the Servo 200 amplifier will deliver reliable power from gig-to-gig, venue-to-venue and day-to-night, and with the 3-year warranty from Samson, you'll get years of worry free operation from this amplifier.
