S convert Introduction and Features

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the S convert stereo line level converter from Samson Audio! S
convert provides a convenient solution for matching levels and interfacing audio devices,
either on stage or in the studio. The S convert is a specially designed miniature level
matching device that allows you to convert stereo –10dBV (RCA) signals like those from
consumer CD players and cassette recorders, to +4 dBu (XLR) signals like those from pro-
fessional mixers, outboard effects processors and DAT machines to name some. The S
convert works in both directions and features male and female XLR connectors for the bal-
anced +4dBu inputs and outputs, along with RCA connectors for the unbalanced –10dBV
inputs and outputs. The addition of +4 and –10 LEVEL controls allows you to use S con-
vert to calibrate your signals to an exact level. And just because this unit is miniature, don’t
be surprised with its great sound and reliability thanks to high quality components and
solid build construction.

In this manual, you’ll find a more detailed description of the features of the S convert, as
well as a guided tour through the front and rear panels, step-by-step instructions for using
the S convert, and full specifications. You’ll also find a warranty card enclosed—please
don’t forget to fill it out and mail it so that you can receive online technical support and so
we can send you updated information about other Samson products in the future.
