Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Samson Expedition professional, powered loudspeaker. The Expedition XP112a and XP115a are compact and powerful speaker cabinets featuring 500 watts of bi-amped onboard power. The Expedition XP112a and XP115a, respectively, feature 12” and 15” heavy-duty, long-excursion woofers, as well as 1” neodymium high frequency driver on 1” throat wide dispersion horns. The speaker cabinets provide both XLR and ¼” phone jacks that handle microphone or line level inputs. The XLR Line Output allows you to “daisy-chain” multiple Expedition cabinets together to create larger sound reinforcement systems.

Each cabinet’s trapezoidal shape allows it to be congured for either front-of-house use, or for operation as a wedge-style monitor. In addition, the compact cabinets can easily be stacked, using the built-in bumpers or can be stand-mounted using the integral 1 3/8” pole-mount receptacles.

Each Expedition PA system’s durable enclosure is made of high-impact polypropylene with a scu-resistant textured nish, and include a heavy-grade steel grill, oering excellent protection against wear and tear for truly portable audio. The Expedition active monitors are ideal for live music, DJ, lecture, and installed sound applications, or anywhere serious power and superior sound quality are desired.

In these pages, you’ll nd a detailed itemization of the features of the Expedition PA system, as well as a description of its front and rear panels, step-by-step instructions for its setup and use, and full specications. You’ll also nd a warranty card enclosed—please don’t forget to ll it out and mail it in so that you can receive online technical support, and so that we can send you updated information about this and other Samson products in the future.
