Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Expedition XP800 PORTABLE PA SYSTEM from Samson!
The XP800 delivers the optimum balance between huge, awesome sound and portability. The system is light enough for one person to carry, and packs together into a single
unit, making it amazingly easy to transport even in the trunk of a compact car.
The XP800 system is comprised of two 8” 2-way speaker cabinets, an 8-channel, 800
watt powered mixer, and two speakers cables. The powered mixer packs neatly into the
back of one of the speaker cabinets and there is an accessory compartment behind the
second cabinet to hold the speaker and power cables. The two speakers feature our
unique slide and lock design to join together, allowing the entire system to pack up into
a single unit about the size of a carry-on piece of luggage.
The 8-channel mixer can be used while it is stored in the back of the speaker or
removed from the speaker for desktop use. It features 4 inputs for connecting microphones, plus two inputs for connecting stereo signals, like those from a keyboard or
MP3 player. There’s also a built-in, 24-bit digital effects processor to add studio quality
effects to your voice or instruments. For music playback, the XP800 features wireless
Bluetooth
The mixer also provides a robust output, with 800 watts of total power from the highly-efficient, lightweight, Class D amplifier section.

connectivity, to stream audio from your smart phone, tablet, or computer.
The XP800 employs a matched speaker system with dual 2-way enclosures that have
proprietary 8” woofers and 1” high frequency drivers loaded in a 90° x 60° horn for
wide vertical coverage. To project the sound to a larger audience, the XP800 speakers
can be mounted on standard speaker stands, thanks to the integral pole mount receptacles. The XP800 is constructed using durable ABS, high impact plastic, making it super
road tough, and at the same time, lightweight.
The XP800 is the perfect solution for your solo performance, garage band rehearsal,
cocktail hour act, boardroom presentation, or classroom lecture. In this manual, you’ll
find a detailed description of the features of the XP800 PA system, as well as step-bystep instructions for its setup and use, and full specifications.
We recommend you keep the following records for reference, as well as a copy of your
