Introduction - Samson Audio dB300 Manuel Du Propriétaire

Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the Samson dB300! The dB300 speaker system by Samson takes the concept
of PA systems to a new level. By combining 300 watts of power handling, advanced crossover design and
the highest quality speaker and cabinet components, the dB300 provides studio quality sound for any kind
of live application. The loudspeaker features a super heavy-duty, custom designed, 12-inch low frequency
driver which employees a 3-inch voice coil and an advanced motor design featuring an over-sized magnet.
The result, deep low frequency response that's accurate, tight and focussed. Handling the high frequency
response is the dB300's high output, proprietary compression driver utilizing a 1.75-inch (44 millimeter) tita-
nium diaphragm with a 1-inch throat set upon a wide dispersion horn. The high frequency response is clean,
smooth and vivid. The dB300 offers crystal-clear audio and an ultra-wide sound field. Not only a front-firing
PA speaker, the dB300 is also designed to operate as a wedge-style monitor. The cabinet's right and left side
panels are joined at different angles, so depending on the side you choose, you get near and far dispersion
angles, allowing for greater flexibility on stage. Adding to the dB300's practical design is a catalog of mount-
ing options. With the dB300, setup and break down is quick and easy. The compact cabinet can be easily
stacked, stand mounted using the integral 1 3/8-inch pole mount receptacle, suspended using the four built-
in fly points or permanently installed with the optional wall-mount bracket . Thick wall construction with
heavy-grade steel grills, scuff-resistant textured finishes and rigid corners offer excellent protection against
wear and tear. As fixed sound reinforcement or as a durable, great-sounding road PA, the dB300 is ideal for
sound professionals and performers looking for serious output and studio monitor sound quality from a com-
pact PA speaker system.
