System Features

• The EX30 includes all the features of the EX20, and adds a flexible four-channel stereo mixer that provides two monophonic and one stereo mic/line channels with dual XLR and 1/4" connectors. In addition, separate dual phono connectors allow you to hook up an external cassette or CD player.

Each mixer channel includes two-band equalization and independent volume control, and there’s even built-in digital effects for the addition of six different reverb 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 EX20 and EX30 also include a meter that shows battery level when used with the optional RB 2030 rechargable battery cartridge (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.

• A wide range of optional accessories, including: the MP 1030 mounting bracket,

which allows any Expedition enclosure to

be “flown” from the ceiling; the RB 2030 rechargable battery cartridge, which provides up to two hours of power to

either the EX20 or EX30 from its dual

Lead-Acid GelCel batteries; and the TD30 cassette recorder, which fits neatly into a special compartment above the EX30’s mixer to provide background music and/or to record meetings or performances. The TD30 even includes a pitch control so you can alter the tempo of the music for applications like aerobic instruction.

The EX500 is an active subwoofer that pairs a massive 500-watt amplifier with a heavy-duty 15" low frequency driver. It is an ideal complement to any Expedition enclosure or any loudspeaker system, when the application requires deep, powerful low end response. Its built-in stereo electronic crossover allows the EX500 to operate either in mono or as a common subwoofer in a stereo system. It features an all-steel grill and rigid corners, as well as an integral pole mount.
