Samson POWER AMPLIFERS PG3800 - Manual (Page 6)

PG Series Features
The Samson PG Series power amplifier utilizes the latest technology in professional power amplifier design. Here are
some of its main features:
• Power to spare - Each amplifier delivers the following power ratings:
PG2200 2 x 280 Watts at 8Ω, 2 x 500 Watts at 4Ω and 2 x 1000 Watts at 2Ω
PG3800 2 x 560 Watts at 8Ω, 2 x 900 Watts at 4Ω and 2 x 1800 Watts at 2Ω
• For mono applications, the amplifiers can operate in Bridge mode which links both channels providing even more power.
Massive mono power ratings of 1000 watts at 8Ω and 2200 watts at 4Ω for the PG2200 and a 1800 watts at 8Ω and 3800 watts
at 4Ω for the PG3800.
• Clean, crisp sound - Impressive audio specifications such as 0.04% THD, dynamic range of 105 dB, crosstalk of 80 dB, and fre-
quency response of 5 Hz to 55 kHz guarantee ultra-clean sound quality.
• Independent input level controls for each channel allow precision adjustments.
• LED signal indicators for each channel continuously display power output levels and allow you to correct for overloading (clip-
ping) conditions.
• In order to help keep the input signal clean, the PG series amplifiers have a selectable Limiter, which also helps protect the
connected speakers.
• Both the PG2200 and PG3800 have a rear panel, selectable Low Frequency Filter at 30 Hz to help remove unwanted low fre-
quency rumble.
• Unique stable bipolar circuit design that continuously keeps DC output during idling at or near zero volts (thus keeping idle
speakers at their zero point). This serves to minimize heat overload problems by effectively preventing the PG Series from
applying power when unnecessary.
• Forced air cooling via two temperature-sensitive, variable speed fans provides reliable performance without thermal and
overheating problems.
• Protection relay circuitry that guards against overheating or faulty wiring conditions and also prevents “thumps” when power-
ing on or off. This means that you can use the PG Series with a single power strip into which a mixer or other audio devices are
connected, without danger of damage to connected speakers.
• Each channel provides both balanced XLR and balanced 1/4-inch TRS input connectors for easy connections.
• Output connections are made via 5-way binding posts and Speakon™ connectors.
• Toroidal transformer power supply for high current and low profile.
• The PG Series can be mounted in any standard 19" rack (taking just two rack spaces), making it easy to integrate the amp into
any fixed or traveling PA rig.
• Rugged construction (an all-steel chassis with a cool gray finish and a lightweight anodized aluminum heatsink) makes the PG
Series eminently roadworthy.
• Extended three-year warranty.
• Last but certainly not least, value. The Samson PG Series has been designed from the ground up to deliver excellent yet
affordable sound quality
