In the Servo Quad 4120, insert an 8 amp, 125 volt fus...
Page 7 - Setting Up and Using the Servo Quad Amplifier
7 Setting Up and Using the Servo Quad Amplifier Setting up your Servo Quad Amplifier is a simple procedure which takes only a fewminutes: 1. Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service) anddecide where the amplifier is to be physically placed—it can be used free-standi...

8 The Servo Quad Amplifier Protection Circuitry As noted in the “Guided Tour” section of this manual, the Servo Amplifier's frontpanel Protection lights indicate the activity of the relay speaker connectioncircuitry. When the Protection lights are lit, this circuitry is inactive, and allconnected sp...
Page 9 - Bridge Stereo Mode; WARNING: Bridge stereo mode is to be used only when the; Servo Quad Amplifier is connected to an 8 ohm speaker load.
Bridge Stereo Mode The Servo Quad Amplifier provides two rear-panel switches that allow it to beused in a unique bridge stereo mode. When these switches are in their “Off”(left) position, the Servo Quad Amplifier functions as a true quad amplifier, whereeach of the four independent amplifier channel...
Page 10 - Bi-amplification Applications
Bi-amplification Applications Because the Samson Servo Quad Amplifier actually contains four discrete poweramplifiers in a single chassis, it is particularly well-suited for use with bi-ampedspeaker systems. These systems utilize active crossover networks (sometimescalled electronic crossovers) that...
