F1200 / F800 Features
The Samson F1200 / F800 power amplifier utilizes the latest technology in professional power amplifier
design. Here are some of its main features:
• The F1200 delivers 600 watts of power per channel into 4 ohms. In the F800 delivers 400 watts of
power per channel into 4 ohms.
• In Bridged mode (linking both channels) the F1200 provides 1200 watts into 8 ohms and the F800
provides 800 watts into 8 ohms.
• Clean, crisp sound - Impressive audio specifications such as 0.05% THD+N (typ), dynamic range of
<100 dB, crosstalk of 65 dB, and frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz guarantee ultra-clean
sound quality.
• Unique stable bipolar circuit design that continuously keeps DC output during idling at or near 0 volts
(thus keeping idle speakers at their 0 point).
• Forced air cooled by and internal fan, for reliable cooling without thermal and overheating problems.
• Protection relay circuitry that guards against overheating or faulty wiring conditions and also prevents
“thumps” when powering on or off. This means that you can use the F1200 / F800 with a single
power strip into which a mixer or other audio devices are connected, without danger of damage to
connected speakers.
• Input connectors for each channel accommodate both balanced 1/4" TRS and RCA plugs, and com-
bination banana plug and shrouded binding posts for maximum flexibility.
• User-resettable circuit breaker for fast, easy startup following a power supply overload.
• The F1200 / F8000 can be mounted in any standard 19" rack (taking three rack spaces), making it
easy to integrate the into any fixed or traveling PA rig.
• Rugged construction (an all-steel chassis with a titanium finish and a lightweight anodized aluminum
heat sink) makes the F1200 / F800 eminently roadworthy.
• Three-year warranty.
