Operating the EXPEDITION EXPRESS
BASIC OPERATION
The following section explains the basic operation of the EXPEDITION EXPRESS.
CONNECTING MICROPHONES AND INSTRUMENTS
1. Before connecting mics or instruments,
make sure that the power of all your
systems components including the
EXPEDITION EXPRESS is turned off. Also,
make sure that the MAIN VOLUME control
is turned all the way down.
2. Connect the cables to your microphones
and instruments, and insert the other end
of the cable firmly into the appropriate
input on the EXPEDITION EXPRESS.
3. Switch on the power of any periph-
eral devices, and then power up the
EXPEDITION EXPRESS.
NOTE: It is important to remember the
Golden Rule of audio … " LAST ON, FIRST
OFF". Translated, this means that when
turning on your system, you should always
turn your power amplifiers or powered
monitors on LAST, and when turning your
system off, turn your power amps off FIRST.
This helps avoid any loud pops caused
by inrush current at power up, which can
sometimes damage loudspeakers.
4. Set the MAIN VOLUME in the
EXPEDITION EXPRESS’ master section to
the "5" position.
5. While speaking into the mic (or playing
the instrument), adjust the channel VOLUME control to set the desired level.
Using The Docking Station
The EXL250 has a built-in MP3 docking station, which fits neatly into a special com-
partment above the EXL250’s mixer allowing you to install an MP3 player to provide
background music for meetings or performances. The EXL250’s docking station is com-
patible with most popular MP3 players that have a 30-pin connector on the bottom.
Follow the steps below to install your MP3 player.
• If your MP3 player came with a dock adapter, fit it in the EXL250’s docking station.
• Pull the spring loaded retaining bracket forward and slide your MP3 player into
place making sure it mates properly with the 30 pin connector.
• If you have a thin style MP3 player, remove your MP3 player and install the included
thick EVA foam.
• Then, pull the spring loaded retaining bracket forward to re-install the MP3 player.
• Slowly lower the spring loaded retaining bracket to hold the MP3 player in place.
