GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Samson S•3-Way is a one-space, dual channel
electronic crossover capable of managing the
frequency control for stereo 2-way, stereo 3-way,
4-way mono and 4-way mono low speaker systems.
The S•3-Way is an ideal crossover solution for small
and large PA systems, live sound venues, commercial
installations, recording studio monitors and DJ setups.
The input gain features +/-12 dB range with LED
metering and peak indicators. The S•3-Way features
low, mid and high frequency outputs with +/-6 dB of
gain control. Each output incorporates a mute switch
for monitoring the individual frequency bands and a
phase switch to invert the phase of the output. The
first crossover point is sweepable in three ranges:
from 35 Hz to 800 Hz, from 350 Hz to 8 kHz with the
10X-multiplier switch engaged, or from 16 Hz to 400
Hz in 4-way low mode. The second crossover point is
sweepable from 175 Hz to 4 kHz or from 350 Hz to 8
kHz, depending on the setting of the mode switch.
In addition to its flexibility in configuring to different
sound systems, the S•3-Way has advanced features
such as CD horn equalization, dedicated limiter, high-
pass filter and a delay section with up to 2ms of delay
to time-align low frequency outputs for improved
phase response of any PA system. The S•3-Way is
a complete electronic crossover solution, which will
give you precise control and superior sound from your
loudspeaker system.
