12" woofer with a matched 1" compression driver. The Expedition EX10 is a passive 8-ohm enclosure that can be used with any external power amplifier rated at up to 250 watts.
System Features The Samson Expedition system uses state-of-the art technology to bring a revolutionary new degree of flexibility and portability to professional audio. Its main features include: • A built-in telescoping handle and locking wheels that make it easier than ever before to transport your audio system.

(see below). • The top panel of both the EX20 and EX30 provides a prewired compartment that accommodates a variety of Samson wireless systems that offer superior RF and audio performance already proven on stages around the world. Receivers supported include the UM1 or M32 UHF models or the VM1 VHF model.
Using one EX10: A single mono signal (bus or aux send) is routed from a mixer to a power amplifier. One speaker output of the power amplifier is connected to either the EX10 1/4" input connector (solid line) or Speakon™ input connector (dotted line).

Using two EX10s in stereo: A stereo signal (bus or aux send) is routed from a mixer to a power amplifier. The left speaker output of the power amplifier is connected to one EX10 (using either the 1/4" input [solid line] or Speakon™ input [dotted line]), and the right speaker output of the power amplifier is connected to the other EX10 (again using either the 1/4"...
EX500 subwoofer. 8: Limiter switch - Use this switch to turn the built-in limiter circuitry on or off. In order to maximize speaker protection, we recommend that this switch be left in the “on” position during normal operation.

Using two EX20s in stereo: A stereo signal (bus or aux send) is routed from a mixer, with the left side connected to one EX20’s XLR input, and the right side connected to the other EX20’s XLR input. SAMSON MMPL2242...

Expedition EX30 Guided Tour 1: Equalizer - These controls allow you to shape your sound by boosting or cutting the amount of bass (at 100 Hz) or treble (at 10 kHz) by up to 15 dB. A center detent in each knob indicates no boost or cut (that is, flat response). As each knob is turned clockwise from the 12 o’clock position, the bass or treble is boosted;...

When using multiple Expedition speaker enclosures, set this switch to “Stereo”; the EX30 will then reproduce only signal from the left output section only (that is, signals panned left at the mixer); the Right output can then be used to send signal from the right output section (that is, signal panned right at the mixer) to a second enclosure.

16: AC input - Connect the supplied heavy-gauge 3-pin “IEC” power cable here. 17: Limiter switch - Use this switch to turn the built-in limiter circuitry on or off. In order to maximize speaker protection, we recommend that this switch be left in the “on” position during normal operation.
Using one EX30 and an EX20 (stereo operation): In this example, microphones are connected to the XLR mic inputs of channels 1 and 2 of an EX30, and a stereo keyboard is connected to the stereo 1/4" TRS connector of channel 3/4 of the EX30 (using a Y-cord, with the tip carrying the left signal and the ring carrying the right signal).
Positioning and Mounting Instructions General Positioning Tips • Operating a microphone or turntable in front of a speaker is a sure formula for feedback and/or rumble problems, so always place the Expedition in front of any mics or turntables that are being used.

Positioning and Mounting Instructions Before fly-mounting, wall-mounting or ceiling-mounting the Expedition, you must first install a Samson MP 1030 mounting bracket to the fly points, as shown in the illustrations on the right Standard cabling and hardware can then be attached to the MP 1030 mounting bracket in environments where the Expedition needs to be “flown.”...
As shown in the illustration on the left, the top panel of the Expedition EX20 and EX30 provides a prewired compartment that accommodates any of three different Samson wireless receivers: the UM1 or M32 UHF models or the VM1 VHF model. Output signal from a wireless receiver mounted in an EX30 arrives at channel 2 of the onboard mixer.
