PORTABLE PA SYSTEM Owner's Manual

Congratulations on purchasing the Samson Expedition Express! You now have everything you need

to get a big concert sound anywhere, all in one portable package. The Expedition Express is a com-

plete lightweight PA system including the EXL250m powered speaker with 4-input mixer built-in, the

EXL250e extension cabinet, a Samson R21 dynamic microphone, all the needed cabling and conve-

nient pouches to store the accessories. You get a loud, clear sound thanks to the available 250 watts

of power driving the dual 12-inch, 2-way loudspeakers. The EXL250m enclosure features an internal

power amplifier providing 2 x 125 watts of clean stereo power at a remarkably low weight thanks

to the class D design. Each of the Expedition Express’ 2-way speaker enclosures feature a custom

designed, heavy-duty low frequency driver for deep bass response, plus a 1-inch titanium compres-

sion driver for clear articulate high frequency response. The Expedition Express’ powerful mixer

allows for three microphone inputs with the ability to add in lush reverbs from the internal DSP

effects. Plus, there’s even an onboard 30 pin, MP3 player docking station that’s compatible with many

popular MP# players. For easy transport, the EX250e extension cabinet stacks and locks on top of the

EX250m via the included coupling plate, and with the protective slipcover, the stacked PA is ready

to roll on the EX250m built-in wheels. For more flexibility you can add options from Samson, such

as TS50 and TS100 tripod speaker stands, the MP1020 wall-mounting bracket, UM1 wireless micro-

phone system and for the ability to run this versatile all-in-one PA anywhere, the RB2030 recharge-

able battery. If you need a portable sound system for a school, house of worship, small band, cabaret

act, or for most any PA application, the Expedition Express will do the job.
