| Samson S-3 way
3 way Stereo / 4 way Mono Crossover
The Samson S-3-way is a one-space, dual channel electronic crossover capable of managing the frequency control for Stereo 2-Way, Stereo 3-Way, 4-Way Mono and 4-Way Mono Low speaker systems. The S-3-way is an ideal crossover solution for small and large PA systems, live sound venues, commercial installations, recording studio monitors and DJ set-ups. In addition to its flexibility in configuring to different sound systems, the S-3-way has advanced features such as Delay, CD Horn Equalization, dedicated Limiter and individual Phase and Mute switches per frequency band. S-3-way’s convenient meters and frequency indicator LEDs provide instant status of important speaker management settings. The S-3-way is a complete electronic crossover solution, which will give you precise control and superior sound from your loudspeaker system.
The input gain features +/-12dB range with LED metering and Peak indicators. S 3-way features Low, Mid and High Frequency outputs with +/-6dB of gain control. Each output incorporates a Mute switch for monitoring the individual frequency bands and a phase switch to invert the phase of the output. The first crossover point is sweepable in three ranges: from 35Hz to 800Hz, from 350Hz to 8kHz with the 10X-Multiplier switch engaged, or from 16Hz to 400Hz in 4 way low-mode. The second crossover point is sweepable from 175Hz to 4kHz or from 350Hz to 8kHz depending on the setting of the mode switch.
The S 3-way also includes a Delay section with up to 2ms of delay to time-align low frequency outputs for improved phase response of any PA system. S 3-way's global section features a variable threshold Limiter, a CD function (for constant directivity horns) and High Pass Filter.
