Servo 201a Features

The Samson Servo 201a Power Amplifier utilizes the latest technology in professional power amplifier design. Here are some of
its main features:
• Power to spare - Each channel delivers 100 watts of power into 4 ohms (or, in Bridge mode, 200 watts into 8 ohms).
• Clean, crisp sound - Impressive audio specifications such as .01% THD, S/N of 105 dB, crosstalk of 75 dB, and frequency
response of 3 Hz to 65 kHz guarantee ultra-clean sound quality in any live or recording environment.
• Independent input level controls for each channel with 41-position detents.
• Ten-segment LED meters for each channel continuously display power output levels and allow you to correct for overloading
(clipping) conditions.
• Front-panel Protection LED shows you at a glance overheating or faulty wiring conditions.
• Innovative front-panel Speaker on/off switch and dedicated headphone jack enables private cue monitoring of the input sig-
nal.
• Both electronically balanced 1/4" TRS and unbalanced RCA-type input connector jacks are provided along with 5-way bind-
ing post output connectors.
• The variable speed fan circuit provides quiet operation even in critical listening environments such as recording studios.
• Unique bipolar circuit design that continuously keeps DC output during idling at or near 0 volts (thus keeping idle speakers
at their 0 point). This serves to minimize heat overload problems by effectively preventing the Servo 201a from applying
power when unnecessary.
• Protection relay circuitry (linked to the DC offset circuitry) that prevents "thumps" when powering on or off. This means that
you can use the Servo 201a with a single power strip into which a mixer or other audio devices are connected, without dan-
ger of damage to connected speakers.
• Toroidal transformer power supply.
• Rugged construction (an all-steel chassis with a titanium finish and a lightweight anodized aluminum heat sink) makes the
Servo 201a eminently roadworthy.
• Flexible design allows the Servo 201a to be used free-standing or, with the use of included rack ears, mounted in any stan-
dard 19" rack (taking just a single rack space).
• Three-year warranty.
• Last but certainly not least, value. The Samson Servo 201a has been designed from the ground up to deliver excellent yet
affordable sound quality.
