System Features

The Samson Expedition Pro system uses state-of-the art
technology to bring a revolutionary new degree of flex-
ibility and portability to professional audio. Its main fea-
tures include:
• A built-in telescoping handle and locking wheels that
make it easier than ever before to transport your audio
system.
• All Expedition Pro enclosures are lightweight and com-
pact yet exceptionally durable and roadworthy. Injection-
molded with Polypropylene, they feature substantial inter-
nal bracing to support a nearly 1/2" thick side wall con-
struction, making them strong and rigid enough to allow
maximum energy to be delivered to the sound output. In
addition, a steel grill and scuff-resistant textured finish
makes for a rugged speaker enclosure that will deliver
dependable performance in even the most demanding
environments.
• The low frequency section includes a custom designed
12-inch low frequency driver with a 2.5-inch Kapton
Former voice coil and 50 ounce barium ferrite magnet for
accurate and super-tight bass response.
• A high frequency section that delivers clear, sweet top
end thanks to its 1-inch compression driver with a special-
ly designed 34mm titanium diaphragm for linear response
and an elliptical wave guide horn design that reduces
nearly all sonic diffraction.
• A tilt position that allows the Expedition Pro to be used
as an onstage wedge monitor.
• Integral 1 3/8" pole-mount receptacle and convenient
fly points allow the Expedition Pro to be pole-mounted or
"flown" using standard PA hardware.
• The XPL100 is a passive cabinet that can be used with
any power amplifier rated at up to 250 watts into 8 ohms.
It requires no power and provides dual Speakon™ and 1/4" connectors that allow
multiple XPL100s to be daisy-chained where extended coverage is required.
• The XPL200 contains a 250 watt, light-weight, "class D" power amplifier and
advanced crossover. Dual balanced XLR connectors allow daisy-chaining of mul-
tiple Expedition Pro enclosures, and a limiter circuit assures a clean output even
when you're pushing the XPL200 to maximum levels. In addition, there are three
stages of speaker protection, including relay switching for power on and off.
• The XPL300 includes all the features of the XPL200, and adds a flexible four-chan-
nel stereo mixer that provides two monophonic and one stereo mic/line channels
with dual XLR and 1/4" connectors. In addition, separate dual phono connec-
tors allow you to hook up an external cassette, MP3 or CD player. Each mixer
channel includes two-band equalization and independent volume control, and
there's even built-in digital multi-effects processor for the addition of ten differ-
ent reverb, delay and chorus presets. Balanced left and right XLR outputs allow
daisy-chaining of multiple Expedition speakers (with a mono/stereo switch that
allows operation in either mode), and a VU meter enables you to continuously
monitor output levels. The XPL200 and XPL300 also include a meter that shows
battery level when used with the optional RB 2030 rechargable battery cartridge
(see below).
