Page 7: Introduction
Introduction The Samson MXS Series stereo power amplifiers have been designed to provide solid, clean output with low distortion and wide dynamic range, along with the dependability demanded by professional front-of-house engineers and installers. The efficient Class H design provides an abundance of power safely into loads as low as 2 ohms, over the full frequency band, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. -

Page 9: Getting Started With The Mxs Power Amplifier
Getting Started with the MXS Power Amplifier Setting up your MXS Series is a simple procedure which takes only a few minutes: Remove all packing materials (save them in case your units needs future service) and decide where the amplifier is to be physically placed—it can be used free-standing or mounted in a standard 19”... -
Page 10: Front Callouts
Front Callouts Power Switch - Use this switch to power the MXS amplifier on or off Channel Level Controls - Two detent controls to precisely adjust and the match the output level of each channel MODE Indicators - The corresponding indicator lights based off of the setting of the rear panel MODE switch (Stereo, Bridge, Parallel). -
Page 11: Rear Callouts
Rear Callouts Input Connectors - Connect incoming signals to these electronically balanced con- nectors, using either XLR or ¼” TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) plugs. The amplifier accepts input levels of any strength but needs at least +4 dBu to achieve maximum power. The inputs are wired in parallel, so they can be used to daisy chain out of each channel to a second power amplifier. -
Page 12: Bridge And Parallel Modes
Bridge and Parallel Modes The MXS amplifiers provide a rear-panel switch that allows it to be used in either a Bridge or Parallel mode. When this switch is placed in the STEREO position, the MXS amplifier functions as a true stereo amplifier, where both of the two independent amplifier channels (Ch A and Ch B) can receive different input signals and produce independent output signals. -
