Introduction - Samson XPL200 Owner's Manual

Introduction

Welcome to Samson Expedition XPL series—the portable audio system for the new century! This exceptionally versatile sys-
tem offers the perfect solution wherever you need portable, high-quality audio: as a main PA system or as onstage monitors
in clubs and performance halls; in houses of worship; as a sound system for business presentations, mobile DJs at parties,
or aerobics instruction; and for use in outdoor environments such as parks, beaches and flea markets. What's more, every
Expedition XPL series system comes with a built-in telescoping handle and locking wheels, making it easy to take profes-
sional audio with you wherever you go!
There are three different Samson Expedition XPL series systems detailed in this manual. All utilize the same lightweight yet
rugged two-way speaker enclosure that pairs a custom designed 12" woofer with a matched 1" compression driver. The
Expedition XPL100 is a passive 8-ohm enclosure that can be used with any external power amplifier rated at up to 250 watts.
The Expedition XPL200 is a powered version that includes a lightweight, "class D" power cell along with a precision designed
crossover, speaker protection circuitry and built-in limiting. And the Expedition XPL300 is designed as a total all-in-one por-
table PA system, adding a four-channel stereo mixer—complete with digital effects—to the equation. In addition, a number
of expansion options are available, including a 500-watt active subwoofer (our dB1500a or dB1800a); a rechargeable Lead-
Acid GelCel battery pack; and a rear-panel MP3 docking station. There's even a pre-wired custom compartment that accom-
modates one of two different Samson wireless receivers!
In this manual, you'll find a detailed description of the features of all three Expedition Pro systems, as well as a guided tour
through all components, step-by-step instructions for setting up your system and full specifications. If your Expedition Pro
