Professional Class A/B power amplifier. Offers up to 2200 watts in bridged mono at 4 ohms and 1000 watts at 2 ohms in stereo.

More power and reliable performance were the guiding ideas behind the design of Samson's new PG power amplifiers. With professional Class A/B power, the PG2200 offers up to 2200 watts in bridged mono at 4 ohms and 1000 watts at 2 ohms in stereo. In addition to power, we've also placed a great emphasis on seamless operation, which is why the PG2200 is equipped with 3-stage protection circuitry with LED indicators. Additionally, this power amp employs twin internal wind tunnels with force-air cooling via two temperature-sensitive, variable-speed fans to keep the amp running cool.

For enhanced convenience, the PG2200 provides both balanced XLR and balanced 1/4-inch TRS input connections. For the outputs, the amplifier provides standard 5-way binding posts as well as dual Speakon connectors. Other features include on-board dynamics processing with a selectable 30Hz low frequency filter to help remove stage rumble, along with a selectable limiter to help protect speakers and keep the signal clean. Its attractive, low profile dual rackspace design also enables discreet placement, so you don't have to worry about this amplifier becoming an eyesore in your audio setup. With plenty of robust, clean power and the dependability demanded by professional audio engineers and installers, the PG2200 power amplifier is ideal for live sound venues, houses of worship, commercial installations and for driving small and medium-sized live PA systems.

"As good as any comparably powerful pro-amp"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
The sound quality is excellent running an Exodus Maelstrom 18" LLT in my home theater. I've got it bridged into 4 ohms and it supplies enough clean power to fill my cavernous-acting, open home completely with low end sound. My viewings at the local movie theater are forever ruined, if I go at all!
Features
Give it a nine for features, because it has protection if you bungle the connections/somehow overheat. The hpf is moot as my sub is tuned to 14hz. The led is super-bright-I covered it with a felt sticky to dim it in my setup.
Ease of Use
Easy to understand manual and quality connections.
Quality
Excellent, the fan could possibly be quieter, however it is variable speed so not too bad mounted in the wall across the room.
Value
As an older model as a reduced price: very high performance to cost ratio!
