EX20/EX30 wireless compartment

(top view)

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.

In addition, a number of accessories are available from your local Samson dealer that allow you to expand the capabilities of your Expedition system. These include:

•The EX500 active subwoofer— the ideal complement to any Expedition enclosure (or to any loudspeaker system, for that matter)— pairs a powerful 500-watt amplifier with a heavy-duty 15" low frequency driver in order to provide deep low end response. A 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 1 3/8" pole-mount receptacle

•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.

•The MP 1030 mounting bracket, which allows any Expedition enclosure to be “flown” or mounted on the wall or ceiling using standard OmniMount hardware. For more information, see the “Positioning and Mounting the Expedition” section on page 12.

•The TD30 cassette recorder, which fits directly above the EX30’s mixer to provide background music and/or to record meetings or performances.

2:Level meter - This five-segment bar meter shows the TD30 input level. Excursions into the red “+10 dB” segment may indicate tape overloading and distortion.

3:Record level control - Active only when record- ing. For optimum signal-to-noise ratio, set this con- trol so that program material is usually at or around 0 VU on the Level meter (see #2 above), with occa- sional but not steady excursions to the red “+4 dB” segment.

4:Play level control - Sets the playback level. When installed in an EX30, the TD30 output signal arrives at mixer channels 3/4. See #6 on page 9 in this manual for more information.

5:Pitch control - In normal operation, leave this at the 12 o’clock position. When at the 12 o’clock position, the tape is played back at standard speed and pitch. When moved clockwise from the 12 o’clock position, the tape is played back at a faster speed (and higher pitch); when moved counter- clockwise from the 12 o’clock position, the tape is played back at a slower speed (and lower pitch).
