S xover Introduction and Features

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the S xover by Samson Audio! The S xover is a full 

featured, stereo, two-way electronic crossover perfect for a variety of bi-amp speaker 

applications in studio monitoring, live sound and fixed installations. With individual controls 

for Input Level, as well as High and Low Frequency outputs, the S xover is small, but not 

short on features. For expanded control, the S xover provides a Range switch allowing 

you to adjust crossover frequency by ten times so you can configure a speaker system 

with drivers from subs to tweets. The S xover, with its Mono Low switch, is a perfect 

complement if youʼre adding a subwoofer to a studio monitor or PA system when using a 

common subwoofer with stereo satellite speakers. Whatever your exact situation, the S 

xover will provide high quality and reliable performance thanks to its solid build construc-

tion based around the extruded aluminum chassis and oversized rubber bumper feet.  
In this manual, youʼll find a more detailed description of the features of the S xover, as 

well as a guided tour through the front and rear panels, step-by-step instructions for using 

the S xover, and full specifications. Youʼll also find a warranty card enclosed—please donʼt 

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.
