S Zone Features - Samson S.zone S Class Owner's Manual

The Samson S zone four-channel stereo zone mixer utilizes state-of-the-art, high quality audio circuit technol-
ogy for precise tonal and level control. Here are some of the S zone's main features:
• The S zone has four stereo Input Channels with a
Volume control, Stereo/Mono switch and our dedi-
cated Zone assignment switches.
• Channel 1 and Channel 2 inputs feature a high
quality microphone pre-amp with phantom power
allowing you to connect just about any dynamic or
condenser microphone.
• The S zone features four stereo Zone Outputs, each
with a Stereo/Mono switch, Volume control, High
and Low equalizers and a six-segment LED bar VU
Meter monitoring the output level, enabling you to
control the overall level and tone independently for
four discreet coverage areas.
• A remote Volume Control for each Zone Output, up
to 3000 feet in distance is possible using standard
50k –100k linear taper potentiometer and two-con-
ductor shielded wire.
• Microphone "Duck" switch on Channel 1 and
Channel 2, which when turned on, allow any signal
from the microphone inputs, like an announcement
or page, to automatically lower the background
music level.
• The S zone features a unique front panel monitor
section including a zone assignment switch, head-
phone jack, level control and internal super speaker
allowing you to monitor the signal that is playing in
any zone directly on the S zone, without having to
physically be in the room that the signal is playing in.
• Ultra-low noise circuitry with high quality op-amps
ensure superb audio fidelity.
• Electronically balanced and unbalanced input
and output connections are made via easy to use
Euroblock connection strips.
• Internal power supply ensures reliability and trouble-
free operation.
• Standard 19" rack design (the S zone requires only a
single rack space) for easy integration into any travel-
ing or fixed installation audio system.
• Optional security cover kit prevents S Zone settings
from accidentally being altered.
• All-steel chassis makes the S zone eminently road-
worthy.
• Three year extended warranty.
