Servo Series Features

The Samson Servo 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.  
   

 

 

 

 

  Servo 200  2 x 66 Watts at 8Ω, 2 x 100 Watts at 4Ω 
  Servo 300  2 x 100 Watts at 8Ω, 2 x 150 Watts at 4Ω  

 

  Servo 600  2 x 225 Watts at 8Ω, 2 x 300 Watts at 4Ω 

 

•  For mono applications, a Bridge mode links both channels of the amplifiers, thus providing even more power, with power rat-

ings of 200 watts  for the Servo 200, 300 watts  for the Servo 300, and 600 watts  for the Servo 600, all driving an 8 Ohm load.

•  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 10 Hz to 55 kHz guarantee ultra-clean sound quality.

•  Independent input level controls for each channel allow precision adjustments.

•  10 segment LED signal indicators for each channel continuously display power output levels and allow you to correct for 

overloading (clipping) conditions.

•  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 Servo 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 (with dedicated LEDs for each channel) that guards against overheating or faulty wiring conditions 

and also prevents “thumps” when powering on or off.  This means that you can use the Servo Series 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 RCA or balanced 1/4-inch TRS plugs.

•  Output connections are made via 5-way binding posts.

•  Toroidal transformer power supply for high current and low profile.

•  User-resettable circuit breaker for fast, easy startup following a power supply overload.

•  The Servo 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 heat sink) makes the 

Servo Series eminently roadworthy.

•  Extended three-year warranty.

•  Last but certainly not least, value.  The Samson Servo Series has been designed from the ground up to deliver excellent yet 

affordable sound quality
