ARCHITECT’S & ENGINEER’S
SPECIFICATION
The power amplifier shall be capable of stereo or
mono bridged operation. In stereo mode, it shall deliver a
minimum of 175 watts into loads of 8 ohms each with both
channels operating, or 275 watts into loads of 4 ohms each
with both channels operating. In mono bridge mode, it
shall deliver a minimum of 550 watts into an 8 ohm load. It
shall be passively cooled, and shall have internal short-circuit
and thermal protection circuitry. A protection LED indicator
shall activate and the power amplifier shall shut down to
protect against short circuits, overheating, severe overcur-
rent conditions or DC offset present at the outputs. The
power amplifier shall have slow start-up and muted inputs
on turn-on. Inputs shall be on balanced 1/4″tip-ring-sleeve
connectors and outputs shall be on 1/4″phone connectors
and on binding post terminals. The front panel shall have
independent level controls for left and right channels, a mas-
ter power switch and LED indicators for clip, idle and ampli-
fier protection.
The power amplifier shall have a frequency response
of 20 Hz to 50 kHz, signal-to-noise equal to or greater than
103 dB and THD less than 0.03%. Total power consumed at
full audio power shall be 838 watts (115 Vac) and 975
watts (230/240 Vac). The dimensions shall allow for stan-
dard 19″EIA rack mounting. It shall be 5.2″(132 mm; 3
rack spaces) high and 9.2″(234 mm) deep. Weight shall be
32.4 lb. (14.7 kg). The power amplifier shall carry a three-
year warranty.
The power amplifier shall be a SAMSON SERVO 500.
