The Samson MXS2800 is a stereo power amplifier boasting an abundance of power in a
lightweight single rack-space design. It has been designed to provide solid, clean output
with low distortion and wide dynamic range, along with the dependability demanded by
professional front-of-house engineers and installers.
The efficient Class D design provides 1700 watts of stereo power safely into loads as
low as 2 ohms, over the full audio frequency band, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Connections
are made via both balanced XLR and RCA input connectors and Speakon® output
connectors. To help you set the correct operating levels, the MXS 2800 amplifiers
include front panel Signal Level, Peak and Protection LED indicators.
Like all Samson power amplifiers, the MXS2800’s internal electronics are based around
a serious power-core, with a robust power supply built to handle large current demand
from bass frequencies. To keep the MXS2800 amplifiers running cool, the design
employs forced-air cooling via a temperature-sensitive, variable speed fan, which greatly
reduces the chance of thermal and overheating problems. Multi-stage protection for
power-up, short circuit, DC output, over current, and thermal, assures high reliability
under the most grueling situations.
Optimized for portable sound applications but is perfectly suited for live sound venues,
houses of worship, commercial installations. The MXS2800 amplifiers will deliver
reliable power from gig-to-gig and venue-to-venue. In the following pages, you’ll find a
detailed description of the many features of the MXS2800 power amplifier, as well as a
guided tour through its front and rear panels, step-by-step instructions for its setup and
use, and full specifications.
We recommend you keep the following records for reference, as well as a copy of your
