Samson SD8 Owner's Manual page 6

SD8 Features
• Protection relay circuitry prevents "thumps" when powering on or off. This
means that you can use the SD8 with a single power strip into which other
audio devices are connected, without danger of damage to connected
speakers.
• A rear-panel amplifier input allows you to bring external signals from other
mixers or audio devices into the SD8 power amplifier.
• A rear-panel preamplifier output allows you to connect the SD8 to external
power amplifiers when higher power ratings are required and/or when
additional amplifier feeds are necessary.
• A built-in headphone amplifier, complete with a front-panel 1/4" stereo
connector and dedicated level control, allows you to monitor your main mix.
• A convenient front-panel meter that allows you to see at a glance the
continuous output signal level.
We'll elaborate on many of these terms and features later in this manual.
Now it's time to take a guided tour of the SD8.
