Samson Expedition EX30 - Manual (Page 3)

Introduction
3
Welcome to Samson Expedition—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 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 systems detailed in this manual. All utilize
the same lightweight yet rugged two-way speaker enclosure that pairs a custom
designed 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. The Expedition EX20 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 EX30 is designed as a total all-in-one portable PA system, adding a four-
channel stereo mixer—complete 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 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 was
purchased in the United States, you’ll also find a warranty card enclosed—don’t forget
to fill it out and mail it! This will enable you to receive online technical support and will
allow us to send you updated information about this and other Samson products in the
future. If your Expedition system was purchased outside of the U. S., contact your
local distributor for warranty details. Also, be sure to check out our website
