The Samson D3500 Digital Parametric Equalizer / Feedback
Management System utilizes state-of-the-art, DSP and fil-
tering technology for precise tonal and feedback control.
Here are some of its main features:
• The D3500 is a sophisticated digital equalizer com-
bined with an advanced, and easy to use, automatic
feedback management system providing 30 bands of
parametric filters.
• For stereo PA systems, the D3500 can operate with 15
filter bands per side, or for mono operation (like stage
monitors), you can use all 30 bands at once.
• The D3500 offers three filter modes, Resonance for
reducing feedback due to room acoustic problems,
Dynamic for feedback problems caused when micro-
phone are moving around on stage, and Manual for
adjusting the parametric filters by hand using the Filter
Control Knobs.
• For temporary feedback problems like those caused
by microphones moving on stage, a unique AFR, Auto
Filter Release, mode lets the EQ filters gradually restore
themselves to the original levels once the feedback
problem goes away thereby restoring not destroying
your sound.
• Advanced 32 bit floating point DSP with high-end, 24
Bit, 96K sample rate Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-
Analog converters provides a pristine sound quality
with low distortion and wide dynamic range.
• The LEARN mode allows the D3500 to perform a sin-
gle-button push, automatic feedback reduction system
that will automatically "ring-out" your speaker system
to remove feedback.
• An onboard programmable Delay is included for time
aligning speakers.
• The D3500 offers programmable High and Low Pass
Filters for setting contour curves or for removing low-
end stage rumble.

• To help keep the over all system noise level low, the
D3500 includes a programmable Noise Gate with vari-
able threshold control.
• An added layer of speaker protection is accomplished
by using the D3500's programmable brick wall Limiter.
• The programmable Enhancer can be used to add
extra highs or as a noise reduction system by lowering
the high frequency bands when no high frequency
content is present.
• Equalization curves plus all digital effects can be
stored or recalled using the 99 User Preset Locations.
• Configure larger systems using multiple D class
units which communicate over standard MIDI, or
with Samson's optional high-speed D-Net interface
card.
• Optional DI01 Digital interface card for connecting to
AES/EBU or S/PDIF.
• The D3500 takes advantage of the latest technology
with upgradable Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-
Analog converters.
• Electronically Balanced XLR Inputs and Outputs.
• Standard 19", 2 rack-space design for easy integration
into any traveling or fixed installation audio system.
• Aluminum extruded front panel and steel chassis
makes the D3500 eminently road-worthy.
• Three year extended warranty.
