Solid state amplifier Samson SF is twin-brother of our tube Samson. 900 W monoblock has really limitless dynamics and amazing, highly precise and live sound similar to that of his namesake.

Samson SF embodies longstanding experience of S.A.Lab company creating High End and Top End sound electronics. During the project we were solving many complicated tasks, performing experiments and selecting optimal materials and parts.

The amplifier demonstrates the best audiophile sound and all the solid state advantages including superb dynamics and high damping factor.

Samson SF consists of single end solid state driver with bipolar power supply ±140 V and parallel insulated shutter output repeater on FETs. There is no global negative feedback.

As a result such the design has excellent spectrum of single end circuit with amplitude of 80 V RMS and yields live and fluent sound similar to that of our tube amplifiers along with all the solid state preferences.

Samson SF operates in Class A up to 100 W and further in Class AB for full 900 W output power.

Due to huge heat sinks Samson SF operates in Class AB having optimal transistor's quiescent current of 300 mA and 4,8 A in total. Noiseless fans activate after crystals temperature exceeds definite level.

Samson SF has both unbalanced and balanced power supplying (rear toggle switch). For the latter the best Samson SF system partner is our Samson separate balanced power supply.

Samson SF's line inputs are balanced and unbalanced. The amplifier has trigger input and three pairs of high quality acoustic binding posts for low, middle and high frequency bands.
