Welcome to Samson Expedition Pro—the portable audio system for the new millenium! This
exceptionally versatile system 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 pro system comes with a built-in telescoping handle
and locking wheels, making it easy to take professional audio with you wherever you go!
There are three different Samson Expedition Pro systems detailed in this manual. All uti-
lize the same lightweight yet rugged two-way speaker enclosure that pairs a custom designed
12" woofer with a matched 1" compression driver. The Expedition XP100 is a passive 8-ohm
enclosure that can be used with any external power amplifier rated at up to 250 watts. The
Expedition XP200 is a powered version that includes a bi-amped power cell along with an
active crossover, speaker protection circuitry and built-in limiting. And the Expedition XP300
is designed as a total all-in-one portable PA system, adding a four-channel stereo mixer—com-
plete with digital effects—to the equation. In addition, a number of expansion options are
available, including a 500-watt active subwoofer (our EX500); a rechargable Lead-Acid GelCel
battery pack; and a rear-panel mountable cassette recorder with pitch control. There's even
a prewired custom compartment that accommodates any of three different Samson wireless
receivers!
In this manual, you’ll find a more 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 was purchased in the
United States, you’ll also find a warranty card enclosed—don’t forget to fill it out and mail it!
