Introduction
We know you don’t like reading owners manuals, but you’ve just purchased one of the finest sound reinforcement power amplifiers around, and we want to tell you about it! So, before you plug in, we’d like to suggest you take just a few moments out to scan these pages. We’ll make it as painless as possible, we promise—and, who knows, you might just pick up a tip or two.
The Samson S700 / S1000 is a double rack-space stereo power amplifier which is optimized for live sound venues, commercial installations, and for driving small and medium-sized live PA systems. Fan-cooled for maximum thermal protection, the S700 delivers 350 watts of power per channel (or, in Bridged mode, 700 watts), and the S1000 provides a whopping 500 watts of power per channel (or, in Bridged mode, 1000 watts), over the full frequency spectrum, from 10 Hz to 55 kHz. Combination connectors allow both balanced XLR and balanced 1/4" TRS input connections; output connections are provided on both standard banana and advanced Speakon™ connectors. Front-panel controls and displays include a power switch and LED, as well as independent leftand right-channel input level controls, three-segment LED meters, and Protection LEDs.
In these pages, you’ll find a detailed description of the many features of the S700 / S1000 power amplifier, as well as a guided tour through its front and rear panels, step-by-step instructions for its setup and use, and full specifications. You’ll also find a warranty card enclosed—please don’t forget to fill it out and mail it in so that you can receive online technical support and so we can send you updated information about these and other Samson products in the future.
SPECIAL NOTE: Should your S700 or S1000 ever require servicing, a Return Authorization number (RA) is necessary. Without this number, the unit will not be accepted. If purchased in the United States, please call Samson at 1-800-372-6766 for a Return Authorization number prior to shipping the unit.
If purchased outside the United States, contact your local Samson dealer for details. Please retain the original packing materials and, if possible, return the unit in its original carton and packing materials.

S700 / S1000 Features
ENGLISH
The Samson S700 / S1000 power amplifier utilizes the latest technology in professional power amplifier design. Here are some of its main features:
•Power to spare - In the S700, each channel delivers 350 watts of power into 4 ohms. In the S1000, each channel delivers 500 watts of power into 4 ohms.
•A Bridged mode links both channels, thus providing even more power (700 watts into 8 ohms in the case of the S700; 1000 watts into 8 ohms in the case of the S1000).
•Clean, crisp sound - Impressive audio specifications such as 0.04% THD, dynamic range of 105 dB, crosstalk of 80 dB, and frequency response of 10 Hz to 55 kHz guarantee ultra-clean sound quality.
•Independent 42-position detented input level controls for each channel allow precision adjustments.
•Three-segment LED meters 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 0 volts (thus keeping idle speakers at their 0 point). This serves to minimize heat overload problems by effectively preventing the S700 / S1000 from applying power when unnecessary.
•Dual temperature-sensitive speed-controlled fans for reliable cooling 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 S700 / S1000 with a single power strip into which a mixer or other audio devices are connected, without danger of damage to connected speakers.
•Combination input connectors for each channel accommodate both balanced XLR or balanced 1/4" TRS plugs, as well as both Speakon™ and banana jack output connectors for maximum flexibility.
•XLR link outputs, allowing multiple amplifiers to be “daisy-chained” together for additional power. The utilization of advanced circuitry and direct wiring ensures that there is no distortion in slaved amplifiers even when the first amp in the daisy-chain is powered off.
•Toroidal transformer power supply for high current and low profile.
•User-resettable circuit breaker for fast, easy startup following a power supply overload.
•The S700 / S1000 can be mounted in any standard 19" rack (taking just two 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 S700 / S1000 eminently roadworthy.
•Three-year warranty.
•Last but certainly not least, value. The Samson S700 / S1000 has been designed from the ground up to deliver excellent yet affordable sound quality.
