S62

AMPLIFIER

MIXER

The S62 Mixer Amplifier is a monophonic 6-input
mic/line mixer with a dedicated power amp producing
150 W into 4 ohms. Highly portable or easily installed
into a rack, the S62 is equipped with 2-band equalization
on each channel and a 5-band graphic EQ on the main
output. The S62 is an ideal all-in-one device for recording,
live concert and contracting applications. It also features
6 electronically balanced mic/line inputs (XLR-type and
1/4

″ connectors), a CD/tape input (phono connectors),
switchable 48 V phantom power, internal reverb, an Aux
send and return, along with amp in and preamp and
monitor out patch points.

ARCHITECT’S & ENGINEER’S

SPECIFICATION

The mixer amplifier shall incorporate a 150 W
monophonic amplifier, a 5-band graphic equalizer and a
monophonic mixer with 6 microphone/line-input chan­nels. Microphone inputs shall be on XLR-type connec­tors and line inputs shall be on balanced 1/4

″ T ip-Ring­Sleeve phone connectors. An independent line-level
CD/tape input (routed to channel 6) shall be on phono
connectors. Each channel shall have an aux/reverb send,
2-band equalization and a level control.

The mixer shall provide an effects output on a 1/4

″

phone connector, as well as a preamp out and power
amp in for submix applications on 1/4

″ phone connec-

tors. An effects return shall be provided on a 1/4

′′ phone
connector, and it shall have an independent level con­trol. Phantom Power of +48 V shall be provided for
operation of condenser microphones. The amplifier shall
be passively cooled. Amplifier output shall be provided
on two 1/4

″ phone connectors. Indicators shall be pro­vided for peak level (3 dB before clipping), power and
amplifier protection. The unit shall be of a rack-mount
type.

The amplifier shall deliver maximum power equal
to or greater than 150 W into 4 ohms, signal-to-noise
equal to or greater than 95 dB, THD less than 0.1% and
frequency response of ±3 dB from 20 Hz to 50 kHz. The
mixer shall have residual noise of 70 dBu, signal-to-noise
equal to or greater than 70 dB and THD less than 0.03%.
Total power consumed at 1/8 audio power shall be 134
W (115 Vac). Dimensions shall be 19

″ (480 mm) wide,

9

″ (230 mm) deep and 3.5″(88 mm; 2 rack spaces)
high. Weight shall be 17.6 lb. (8 kg). The mixer amplifier
shall carry a three-year warranty.

The mixer amplifier shall be a SAMSON S62.
