SX Series Power From Samson!

SX Series Amplifiers are built around a new power-core design, with oversized toroidal transformers and extra-large extruded heat sinks. They stay cool thanks to an innovative dual-tunnel forced-air cooling system with temperature-sensitive variable speed fans.

Multi-stage protection for power-up, over-heating, over-current, short circuit, low output impedance and DC voltage assures total reliability under the most demanding conditions.

Monitoring is simple thanks to front-panel Power, Signal, Peak and Protection LED indicators. Operation is simple thanks to Left and Right input level controls. Even hook-ups are easy, thanks to the XLR/1/4" TRS balanced inputs and 5-way binding post and Speakon outputs.

  • Professional Class AB Power Amplifier
  • 400W per side @ 8 Ohms
  • 600W per side @ 4 Ohms
  • 1,200W bridged mono @ 8 Ohms

I bought this amp 5 years ago and was so impressed I have replaced 2 other power amps with Sampsons.

I purchased a Samson X1800 to add to my system, because i wanted to add more power when i was Djing!!! I usually use Peavey products beacause, they are really reliable,so me buying this amp was sort o... read more [+]f a gamble since i dont usually use Samson products!! I must say that i have been impressed with the power,reliability,and overall performance of the X1800, and the price was sensational!! My friend who works at a Music store was the one who talked me into buying the Samson X1800, he owns 2 and he kept telling me how much he loved this amp and that i should give one a try,so i did and its been 5 months and i have had no trouble at all!!! I do Djing and Karaoke and i play in a band on weekends, so i need a versatile amp that can handle several different applications,and, i feel the X1800 does this very well!!! I have used this amp at a wedding reception for 7 and a half hours and did not have any clipping or overheating at all, i was impressed!!!! So far this amp has worked flawlessly,and i have really put it to the test!!! close [-]

Everything was exactly as promised. I was impressed with the phone call I received from your guy when I had just placed the order. He was very thorough and professional in every way. I love my new digital piano. Your wide selection and excellent service as well as your "3 Payment Plan" and the 2 year warranty sealed the deal for me on this purchase. No one else could come close.
