Pole Mounting - Procedures and Precautions

The underside of the Expedition contains a 1-3/8" stand mount socket that allows it

to be raised up on any standard speaker pole mounting (such as the Samson TA50 or

TA100 speaker stands). Pole-mounting is generally advis-

able when you want to maximize the distance that the

Expedition covers (sometimes called speaker “throw”).

If you are using a dB1500a subwoofer, you can use its inte-

gral pole mount with the Samson TS20 speaker stand to

place an EXL250m or EXL250e immediately above it, creat-

ing a complete column of sound.

Use common sense when setting up speaker stands.

Whenever pole mounting cabinets, make sure all fasteners

are tight (or to the manufacturers specifications) and the

stand can support the weight of the cabinet.

Set speakers and stands away from areas where people

will be, taking care that stands will not be knocked into

possibly causing injury from falling or tipping.

WARNING! Pole mounting of cabinets should be done by

qualified personnel.

Samson assumes no responsibility, personal liability or

liability for Expedition cabinets.

Optional Accessories WIRELESS / POLE MOUNTING

As shown in figure 1 on the left, the top panel of the Expedition EXL250, XPL200 and

XPL300 provides a pre-wired compartment that accommodates any of three different

Samson wireless receivers: the UM1 or AM1 UHF models. Output signal from a wireless

receiver mounted in an EXL250 arrives at channel 2 of the onboard mixer.
