Introduction - Samson Audio C-que 8 Manuel Du Propriétaire

Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the Samson C•que 8 Headphone Amplifier! Although this unit is
designed for easy operation, we suggest you take some time out first to go through these pages
so you can fully understand how we've implemented a number of unique features. The C•que 8 is a
compact, high-quality device that allows you to monitor any stereo or monophonic source signal
(balanced or unbalanced) over as many as twelve separate headphones. Providing unusually high
power levels and superb audio fidelity, the C•que 8 is compatible with virtually all popular head-
phone models. Front panel controls include a Master Input Level control and Stereo/2 Channel
switch. Each headphone output has its own individual Shape Circuit Level Meters, and Level control.
Special output jacks on the rear panel allows any number of C•que 8 units to be linked together with
no loss of signal. The C•que 8 can be used in a wide variety of applications, including recording stu-
dios, teaching labs, broadcast environments, and for live performance. In this manual, you'll find a
more detailed description of the features of the C•que 8, as well as a guided tour through the front
and rear panels, step-by-step instructions for using the C•que 8, a reference chart that gives imped-
ance and sensitivity ratings for a number of popular headphone models, and full specifications.
You'll also find a warranty card enclosed—please don't forget to fill it out and mail it so that you can
receive online technical support and so we can send you updated information about other Samson
products in the future.
With proper care and adequate air circulation, your C•que 8 will operate trouble free for many years.
