Samson PG3800 Stereo Power Amplifier
Optimized for live sound venues, houses of worship, commercial installations, and for driving small and medium-sized live PA systems, the PG3800 provides robust, clean output with low distortion and wide dynamic range, along with the dependability demanded by professional audio engineers and installers. The PG3800’s convenient two rackspace design is compact, yet there’s plenty of power available, with up to 1800 watts at 2 ohms in stereo and 3800 watts at 4 ohms in bridge mono. For enhanced convenience, the PG3800’s rear panel provides both balanced XLR and balanced 1/4-inch TRS connections. For the outputs, the amplifier provides standard 5-way binding posts, as well as dual Speakon™ connectors. The front panel controls and displays include a large power switch with LED indicator, as well as independent left and right channel input level controls. To aid in setting the correct operating levels, the PG3800 includes front panel signal, peak and protection LED indicators. The PG3800 also includes on-board dynamics processing with a selectable low frequency filter at 30Hz to help remove stage rumble, along with a selectable limiter to help protect speakers and keep the signal clean. To keep this amplifier running cool, its design employs twin internal wind tunnels with forced-air cooling via two temperature-sensitive, variable speed fans. And multi-stage protection for power-up, overheating, over-current, short circuit, low output impedance and DC voltage assures high reliability under the most demanding situations.
