Introduction / DS70 Features Congratulations on purchasing the Samson DS70 Speaker Distribution System! The DS70 provides four high-quality toroidal step-up transformers in a single chassis. Each transformer can accept a nominal-level signal from any standard power amplifier, and can then convert it to a 70 volt, 25.2 volt, or 100 volt line-level output for use in paging and public address systems and wherever long cable runs and multiple speakers are required. Particularly well-matched to the

About Distributed Sound A distributed sound system (sometimes known as a “constant voltage” system) allows a single power amplifier to drive multiple loudspeakers over a single high-impedance line. Used commonly in public address and paging systems (such as in schools, houses of worship, hotels, factories, stores, and other places of business), distributed sound offers numerous advantages: • All wiring is in parallel and is therefore simple and straightforward. • Even if a speaker fails, all oth

Four-Zone 70V (Unbridged) Wiring The illustration below shows the wiring for a single channel of a DS70 being used in standard 70 volt mode. In this kind of setup, the output level controls of the power amplifier can be used to control the volumes of each of the four zones. For volume control of each of the speakers within a zone, an optional autotransformer can be used (see Appendix A on page 9 of this manual for more information). Note that four speakers are being used for purposes of illust

Two-Zone 70V (Bridged) Wiring The illustration below shows the wiring for two channels of a DS70 being used in Bridged 70 volt mode. Since the two input channels are bridged, a signal of up to 240 watts (into 8 ohms) can be received from the power amplifier. In this kind of setup, the output level controls of the power amplifier can be used to control the volumes of each of the two zones. For volume control of each of the speakers within a zone, an optional autotransformer can be used (see Ap

Four-Zone 25.2V (Unbridged) Wiring The illustration below shows the wiring for a single channel of a DS70 being used in 25.2 volt mode. In this kind of setup, the output level controls of the power amplifier can be used to control the volumes of each of the four zones. For volume control of each of the speakers within a zone, optional autotransformers can be used (see Appendix A on page 9 of this manual for more information).

Two-Zone 100V (Bridged) Wiring The illustration below shows the wiring for a single channel of a DS70 being used in 100 volt mode. Because each transformer within the DS70 can deliver up to 70 volts, so to get a 100 volt output, two of the transformers have to be bridged (i.e., connected in series). Since the two input channels are bridged, a signal of up to 240 watts (into 8 ohms) can be received from the power amplifier. In this kind of setup, the output level controls of the power amplifi

Two-Zone 140V (Bridged) Wiring The illustration below shows the wiring for a single channel of a DS70 being used in a non-standard 140 volt mode (which can be used with custom equipment where exceptionally long cable runs are required. Because each transformer within the DS70 can deliver up to 70 volts, so to get a 140 volt output, two of the transformers have to be bridged (i.e., connected in series). Since the two input channels are bridged, a signal of up to 240 watts (into 8 ohms) can be
