LED meters, and Protection LEDs. In these pages, you’ll find a detailed description of the many features of the S1500 / S2000 power amplifier, as well as a guided tour through its front and rear panels, step-by-step instructions for its setup and use, and full specifications. -
Page 4: S1500 / S2000 Features
The Samson S1500 / S2000 power amplifier utilizes the latest technology in professional power amplifier design. Here are some of its main features: • Power to spare - In the S1500, each channel delivers 750 watts of power into 4 ohms. In the S2000, each channel delivers 1000 watts of power into 4 ohms. -
Page 5: Guided Tour
2: Power LED - Lights whenever the S1500 / S2000 is powered on. 3: Protection LED - This goes on for approximately five seconds whenever the S1500 / S2000 is powered on and then turns off (you’ll hear a “click” when it does so). The Protection LED will also light when overheating or other severe problems occur (see page 6 in this manual for more information). -

1500 watts of power into 8 ohms (in the case of the S1500) or a full 2000 watts of power into 8 ohms (in the case of the S2000). -
Page 7: Setting Up And Using Your S1500 / S2000
Protection LED will go off (you’ll hear a click when this occurs). 7. Apply an input signal to the S1500 / S2000 at or about 0 dBu (if sending signal from a mixer, drive the output meters at approximately 0 vu). While the input signal is present, slowly raise the Channel Input controls until the desired sound level is achieved. -
