Samson introduced the new Samson SX-1200, SX-1800, SX-2400, and SX-2800 power amps at Winter NAMM.

The SX-1200 is a class AB amplifier that offers ease of operation and plenty of available power to effectively drive a small PA, monitor fills, or fixed installation system. Stereo operation is available down to 2 Ohms at 600-Watts per side, as well as a 4 Ohm bridged mono mode providing the full 1200-Watts of power.

The SX-1800 produces 1800-Watts of power from a class AB amplifier design. Stable at 2 Ohms like the entire SX line, the SX-1800 lets you run a system at a blistering 900-Watts per side in stereo mode with out breaking a sweat, thanks to the internal amplifier design and variable-speed fan cooling.

The most powerful SX Amplifier in the lineup, the SX-2800 boasts an un-heard of 2800-Watts or power in a two rack space design. Ideal for driving 18" sub fills or large front-of-house mains in larger venues, the SX-2800 gives you clean worry free power, and a lot of it.

The SX Amps are built around a new power core design with over-sized toroidal transformers and extra-large heat sinks. Most importantly the amps maintain cool operating temperatures thanks to a forced-air cooling system with temperature sensitive variable-speed fans. Trouble free operation is provided by multi-stage protection for power-up, over-heating, over-current, short circuit, low output impedance and DC voltage, assuring total reliability under the most demanding conditions. The complete SX line is 2 Ohms stable and features locking XLR/TRS inputs as well as Speakon, and banana-jack speaker outputs.
