Servo 120a Features
The Samson Servo 120a Power Amplifier utilizes the latest technology in professional power amplifier design.
Here are some of its main features:
Power to spare - Each channel delivers 60 watts of power into 4 ohms (or, in Bridge mode, 120 watts into 8
ohms).
Clean, crisp sound - Impressive audio specifications such as .01% THD, S/N of 105 dB, crosstalk of 75 dB,
and frequency response of 3 Hz to 65 kHz guarantee ultra-clean sound quality in any live or recording envi-
ronment.
Independent input level controls for each channel with 41-position detents.
Ten-segment LED meters for each channel continuously display power output levels and allow you to cor-
rect for overloading (clipping) conditions.
Front-panel Protection LED shows you at a glance overheating or faulty wiring conditions.
Innovative front-panel Speaker on/off switch and dedicated headphone jack enables private cue monitor-
ing of the input signal.
Both electronically balanced 1/4" TRS and unbalanced RCA-type input connector jacks are provided along
with
5-way binding post output connectors
.
Convection cooling (no fan) makes for whisper-quiet operation even in critical listening environments such
as recording studios.
Unique bipolar circuit design that continuously keeps DC output during idling at or near 0 volts (thus keep-
ing idle speakers at their 0 point). This serves to minimize heat overload problems by effectively preventing
the Servo 120a from applying power when unnecessary.
Protection relay circuitry (linked to the DC offset circuitry) that prevents “thumps” when powering on or
off. This means that you can use the Servo 120a with a single power strip into which a mixer or other audio
devices are connected, without danger of damage to connected speakers.
Toroidal transformer power supply.
Rugged construction (an all-steel chassis with a titanium finish and a lightweight anodized aluminum heat
sink) makes the Servo 120a eminently roadworthy.
Flexible design allows the Servo 120a to be used free-standing or, with the use of included rack ears,
mounted in any standard 19" rack (taking just a single rack space).
Three-year warranty.
Last but certainly not least, value. The Samson Servo 120a has been designed from the ground up to deliver
excellent yet affordable sound quality.
