Signal Processing
S Class Processing
represents a new
perspective on
professional-level
audio processing.
Elegant and
powerful,
S Class processors
combine proven
circuitry,
innovative
features and
ease-of-use in
beautifully
crafted cabinets.
The Stereo/Mono S•3-Way is a versatile 2-way, 3-way and 4-way crossover.
• Extensive sweeping frequency control options
• 2-way, 3-way stereo or 4-way mono operation
• Low, mid and high frequency outputs with ±6dB of gain control
• Mute and phase switch for each output, delay control for LF output
• Variable threshold limiter, a CD function (for constant directivity horns)
S • 3-way crossover
This four channel Gate/Ducker can be operated as four discrete gates or linked into stereo pairs.
• Ducker for automatic lowering of signal for a channel or stereo pair
• Key input and key listen for inserting an external source
• Each channel has high and low pass filters, threshold, attack, hold, release and range control
• 8-segment gain reduction LED monitor
• Front panel ducker, link, in/out, filter and key listen switches
S • gate 4 Gate/ducker
The S•vox is a sophisticated Stereo Voice Channel/Input Mixer. It provides a host of tools for
cleaning up vocal tracks before they go tape.
• Superior microphone pre-amps and direct inputs for instruments
• Phase Reversal switch, volume and pan controls
• 3-band EQ with sweepable mids and an in/out switch
• Built-in optical compressor with selectable threshold
• LED input/output meters, 48-Volt phantom power
• S/PDIF inputs and outputs, 1/4” TRS balanced mixer outputs
S • vox voice channel/input mixer
This Four Channel Headphone Amplifier is loaded with advanced features that provide
tremendous flexibility for monitor and cue mixing.
• Master Input features an input level and LED meter
• Each of the four channels has three headphone outputs with volume control and level meters
• Stereo Aux input on each channel with balance control for “More Me” mixing
• 2-band equalizer on each of the four channels
S • Phone headphone amp
Signal Processing
This Stereo Compressor/Limiter adds features like De-essing for added control.
• Compressor section includes variable threshold, ratio, attack and release
• Expander/gate section includes variable threshold level, release time
• SKD (Smart Knee Detector) dynamically adjusts the compression curve
• AEG (Auto Envelope Generator) dynamically adjusts attack and release
• EFR (Enhanced Frequency Recovery) restores high frequencies lost with heavy compression
• Built-in de-esser circuitry reduces sibilance
• Metering of input/output, gain reduction, de-esser level, gate open/close and limit
• Key inputs and outputs for externally processing control voltage
• Individual channel bypass, stereo link mode
• Balanced inputs and outputs
S • Com plus Compressor/limiter
Samson Audio
signal processors
are made with an
attention to detail
you can see, hear
and feel.
Not only do we
include all the
tools professionals
are looking for,
our engineers
routinely create
features never
seen before. The all-purpose Stereo Compressor/Limiter every studio needs.
• Compressor section includes variable threshold, ratio, attack, release and output
• Expander/Gate section includes variable threshold level, release time
• SKD (Smart Knee Detector) dynamically adjusts the compression curve
• AEG (Auto Envelope Generator) dynamically adjusts attack and release
• EFR (Enhanced Frequency Recovery) restores high frequencies lost with heavy compression
• Expander/gate, compressor/limiter and enhancer on both channels
• A key input and key listen provide for external triggering, or EQ
• Balanced Inputs and Outputs
S • Com stereo compressor
The S•com 4 provides four channels of high quality dynamics processing with an
Expander/Gate and Compressor/Limiter on each channel.
• Channels operate independently or in stereo pairs
• Multi-segment LED metering for input/output and gain reduction
• Expander/gate section Includes variable threshold, and a switch for fast/slow release time
• Compressor/limiter section includes variable threshold, ratio and output
• EFR (Enhanced Frequency Recovery) restores high frequencies lost with heavy compression
S • Com 4 gate/compressor
