Fan-cooled for maximum thermal protection, the S700 delivers 350 watts of power per channel (or, in Bridged mode, 700 watts), and the S1000 provides a whopping 500 watts of power per channel (or, in Bridged mode, 1000 watts), over the full frequency spectrum, from 10 Hz to 55 kHz. Combination connectors allow both balanced XLR and balanced 1/4"...
The Samson S700 / S1000 power amplifier utilizes the latest technology in professional power amplifier design. Here are some of its main features: • Power to spare - In the S700, each channel delivers 350 watts of power into 4 ohms. In the S1000, each channel delivers 500 watts of power into 4 ohms.
2: Power LED - Lights whenever the S700 / S1000 is powered on. 3: Protection LED - This goes on for approximately five seconds whenever the S700 / S1000 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).
Make sure that both the front and rear panels are kept free of all obstructions and that cool, fresh air is accessible at all times. Also, try to ensure that the S700 / S1000 is used in a dust-free environment.
PROTECTION Protection LED will go off (you’ll hear a click when this occurs). 7. Apply an input signal to the S700 / S1000 at or about 0 dBu (if sending signal from a Protection LED 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.
• Shorted speaker cables: This will occur if, due to faulty wiring, the hot and ground signals being output by the S700 / S1000 short one another. • Output impedance drops below 2 ohms: This can occur if the S700 / S1000 is connected to inappropriate speaker systems (see the “Setting Up and Using Your S700 / S1000”...
Bridged and Parallel Modes The S700 / S1000 provides a rear-panel switch that allows it to be used in either a Bridged or Parallel mode. When this switch is placed in the “STEREO” BRIDGED PARALLEL (center) position, the S700 / S1000 functions as a true stereo amplifier, where...
S700 / S1000 Connections The illustrations on these two pages show the required interconnections when using the S700 / S1000 in Stereo, Bridged and Parallel modes. Wiring for Speakon™ connectors (shown on the right) is indicated where appropriate. Stereo Mode:...
