Introduction
Welcome to Samson Expedition XPL series—the portable audio system for the new century! This exceptionally versatile system offers the perfect solution wherever you need portable, high-quality audio: as a main PA system or as onstage monitors
in clubs and performance halls; in houses of worship; as a sound system for business presentations, mobile DJs at parties,
or aerobics instruction; and for use in outdoor environments such as parks, beaches and flea markets. What’s more, every
Expedition XPL series system comes with a built-in telescoping handle and locking wheels, making it easy to take professional audio with you wherever you go!
There are three different Samson Expedition XPL series systems detailed in this manual. All utilize the same lightweight yet
rugged two-way speaker enclosure that pairs a custom designed 12" woofer with a matched 1" compression driver. The
Expedition XPL100 is a passive 8-ohm enclosure that can be used with any external power amplifier rated at up to 250 watts.
The Expedition XPL200 is a powered version that includes a lightweight, "class D" power cell along with a precision designed
crossover, speaker protection circuitry and built-in limiting. And the Expedition XPL300 is designed as a total all-in-one portable PA system, adding a four-channel stereo mixer—complete with digital effects—to the equation. In addition, a number
of expansion options are available, including a 500-watt active subwoofer (our dB1500a or dB1800a); a rechargeable LeadAcid GelCel battery pack; and a rear-panel MP3 docking station. There's even a pre-wired custom compartment that accommodates one of two different Samson wireless receivers!
In this manual, you’ll find a detailed description of the features of all three Expedition Pro systems, as well as a guided tour
through all components, step-by-step instructions for setting up your system and full specifications. If your Expedition Pro
was purchased in the United States, you’ll also find a warranty card enclosed—don’t forget to fill it out and mail it! This
will enable you to receive online technical support and will allow us to send you updated information about this and other
Samson products in the future. If your Expedition Pro system was purchased outside of the U. S., contact your local distributor for warranty details. Also, be sure to check out our website www.samsontech.com for complete information about our
full product line.
ENGLISH
SPECIAL NOTE for U.S. purchasers: Should your Expedition Pro system ever require servicing, a Return Authorization number
(RA) is necessary. Without this number, the unit will not be accepted. If your Expedition Pro system was purchased in the
United States, please call Samson at 1-800-372-6766 for a Return Authorization number prior to shipping your system. If possible, return the unit in its original carton and packing materials. If your Expedition Pro system was purchased outside of the
U. S., contact your local distributor for information.

System Features
SAMSON
ENGLISH
The Samson Expedition Pro system uses state-of-the art
technology to bring a revolutionary new degree of flexibility and portability to professional audio. Its main features include:
• A built-in telescoping handle and locking wheels that
make it easier than ever before to transport your audio
system.
• All Expedition Pro enclosures are lightweight and compact yet exceptionally durable and roadworthy. Injectionmolded with Polypropylene, they feature substantial internal bracing to support a nearly 1/2" thick side wall construction, making them strong and rigid enough to allow
maximum energy to be delivered to the sound output. In
addition, a steel grill and scuff-resistant textured finish
makes for a rugged speaker enclosure that will deliver
dependable performance in even the most demanding
environments.
• The low frequency section includes a custom designed
12-inch low frequency driver with a 2.5-inch Kapton
Former voice coil and 50 ounce barium ferrite magnet for
accurate and super-tight bass response.
• A high frequency section that delivers clear, sweet top
end thanks to its 1-inch compression driver with a specially designed 34mm titanium diaphragm for linear response
and an elliptical wave guide horn design that reduces
nearly all sonic diffraction.
• A tilt position that allows the Expedition Pro to be used
as an onstage wedge monitor.
• Integral 1 3/8" pole-mount receptacle and convenient
fly points allow the Expedition Pro to be pole-mounted or
“flown” using standard PA hardware.
• The XPL100 is a passive cabinet that can be used with
any power amplifier rated at up to 250 watts into 8 ohms.
It requires no power and provides dual Speakon™ and 1/4" connectors that allow
multiple XPL100s to be daisy-chained where extended coverage is required.
• The XPL200 contains a 250 watt, light-weight, “class D” power amplifier and
advanced crossover. Dual balanced XLR connectors allow daisy-chaining of multiple Expedition Pro enclosures, and a limiter circuit assures a clean output even
when you’re pushing the XPL200 to maximum levels. In addition, there are three
stages of speaker protection, including relay switching for power on and off.
• The XPL300 includes all the features of the XPL200, and adds a flexible four-channel stereo mixer that provides two monophonic and one stereo mic/line channels
with dual XLR and 1/4" connectors. In addition, separate dual phono connectors allow you to hook up an external cassette, MP3 or CD player. Each mixer
channel includes two-band equalization and independent volume control, and
there’s even built-in digital multi-effects processor for the addition of ten different reverb, delay and chorus presets. Balanced left and right XLR outputs allow
daisy-chaining of multiple Expedition speakers (with a mono/stereo switch that
allows operation in either mode), and a VU meter enables you to continuously
monitor output levels. The XPL200 and XPL300 also include a meter that shows
battery level when used with the optional RB 2030 rechargable battery cartridge
(see below).
2
System Features
• The top panel of both the XPL200 and
XPL300 provides a prewired compartment
that accommodates a variety of Samson
wireless systems that offer superior RF and
audio performance already proven on stages around the world. Receivers supported
include the UM1 or AM1 models.
• A wide range of optional accessories, including: the MP1020 mounting bracket, which
allows any Expedition Pro enclosure to
be “flown” from the ceiling; the RB 2030
rechargeable battery cartridge, which provides up to two hours of power to either the
XPL200 or XPL300 from its dual Lead-Acid
GelCel batteries and TS50 and TS100 tripod
speaker stands for portable set-ups.
• The db1500a and dB1800a are active
subwoofers that pair a massive 500-watt
amplifier with heavy-duty 15-inch and 18inch low frequency drivers. They’re ideal
complements to any Expedition XPL series
enclosure or any loudspeaker system, when
the application requires deep, powerful lowend response. The built-in stereo electronic
crossover allows the dB1500a and dB1800a
to operate either in mono or as a common
subwoofer in a stereo system. They feature
all-steel grills and rigid corners, as well as an
integral pole mount.

Using two XPL200s in mono: A single mono signal (bus or aux send) is routed from a mixer to one XPL200’s XLR input, and a
connection is made between that XPL200’s XLR output to a second XPL100’s XLR input.
ENGLISH
Using two XPL200s in stereo: A stereo signal (bus or aux send) is routed from a mixer, with the left side connected to one
XPL200’s XLR input, and the right side connected to the other XPL200’s XLR input.

Guided Tour
1: Equalizer - These controls allow you to shape your sound by boosting or cutting
the amount of bass (at 100 Hz) or treble (at 10 kHz) by up to 15 dB. A center detent
in each knob indicates no boost or cut (that is, flat response). As each knob is turned
clockwise from the 12 o’clock position, the bass or treble is boosted; as it is turned
counterclockwise from the 12 o’clock position, the bass or treble is reduced.
2: Reverb send
channel to the onboard DSP effects processor. As you move the knob clockwise from
0 to 10, more signal is sent. To hear the effect, one of the ten presets must be selected
using the DSP Effects control (see #10 on the next page). Be careful not to send too
much signal to the DSP, or a distorted sound will result.
3: Pan/Balance control
ing you to place the signal anywhere in the left-right stereo spectrum, while keeping
the overall signal level constant. When the knob is placed at its center (detented)
position, the signal is sent equally to both the left and right outputs. To route a signal
hard left or right, place the pan knob either fully counterclockwise or fully clockwise.
In channel 3/4 (the stereo channel), this knob acts as a Balance control, allowing you
to alter the relative levels of the two input signals. When the knob is placed at its center detented position, both signals are at equal strength. When moved left of center,
you’ll hear more of the left input signal; when moved right of center, you’ll hear more
right input signal.
4: Channel volume control - This knob determines the level of the channel In
stereo channel 3/4, this knob simultaneously controls the level of both inputs (the
relative levels of the two can be adjusted with the Balance knob, as described in #3
above). In practice, you’ll use the channel volume controls to continuously adjust the
levels of the various signals being blended together by the XPL300 mixer.
- These knobs determine how much signal is being sent from the

5: Insert (sub) connector - This 1/4" connector brings line-level signal in directly before the XPL300 power amplifiers. It is nor-
mally used to return signal from an optional dB1500a or dB1800 subwoofer.
6: Line inputs - Use these 1/4" jacks to connect line-level sources to the XPL300. Channels 1 and 2 are mono 1/4" connectors;
channel 3/4 uses a stereo (TRS) 1/4" connector, with tip carrying left signal and ring carrying right signal. Stereo devices should
always be connected to the stereo channel (channels 3/4). If a wireless receiver is connected to the XPL300 via its internal connectors (see page 14 in this manual), its output arrives at channel 2, which can also carry another line-level source connected
to its line input, as well as signal from a microphone connected to its mic input. If an optional MP3 player is installed, its output
arrives at channels 3/4, which can also carry another two line-level sources (one connected to its line input and a second connected to the CD inputs [see #15 on the following page]), as well as signal from a microphone connected to its mic input.
7: Mic inputs - Use these XLR jacks to connect microphones to the XPL300’s built-in mic preamps. Each channel can carry both
one or more line level sources (see #6 above) as well as a mic source.
8: DSP Effects control - Use this to select one of ten reverb presets (Medium Bright Plate, Best Plate, Medium Dark Plate, Short
Plate, Long Bright Spring, Slapback 2, Slapback w/Verb, Slow St Chor or Best Hall). If you don’t want to hear any reverb, set this
switch to the “Off” position.
9: Mono/Stereo switch - When using one XPL300, set this switch to “Mono” so that the XPL300 power amp receives signal from
both the left and right output sections. When using multiple Expedition Pro speaker enclosures, set this switch to “Stereo”; the
XPL300 will then reproduce only signal from the left output section only (that is, signals panned left at the mixer); the Right output can then be used to send signal from the right output section (that is, signal panned right at the mixer) to a second enclosure.
See the interconnection diagrams on pages 10 - 11 for more information.
10: Outputs - The dual XLR connectors carry line-level output signal from the XPL300. They are used to send signal to a second
XPL300 (or XPL200) being daisy-chained (see the interconnection diagram on the following page) or to an optional DB1500
subwoofer. Note that the signal being output from these connectors is dependent upon the setting of the Mono/Stereo switch
(see #9 above). When set to “Stereo,” the Left XLR connector carries left signal only and the Right XLR connector carries right sig
nal only; when set to “Mono,” both the Left and Right connectors carry the same monophonic signal, summed from both the left
and right output sections. See the interconnection diagrams on pages 10 - 11 for more information.

ENGLISH
11: Main Volume control - This knob determines the final output signal level—you can think of this as being the “master fader.”
Signals from all four channels are routed here just before being routed to the XPL300’s built-in power amplifiers and Left and
Right output jacks (see #10 above).
12: Battery VU meter - If an optional RB 2030 rechargable battery pack is installed, this meter shows how much battery power
remains as it is being charged (Power switch off) or depleted (Power switch on). See #20 on the following page.

arriving at its 1/4" TRS line input (see #6 on the preceding page) and signal from a microphone connected to its mic input (see #7
on the preceding page).
15: AC input - Connect the supplied heavy-gauge 3-pin “IEC” power cable here.
16: Voltage selector - Make sure this is set correctly for the country you are in before turning on the power to the XPL300.
17: Gain switch - Sets the line-level TRS input of channel 3/4 (see #6 on the preceding page) to either +4 (professional) or -10
(consumer) level.
18: Power switch - Use this to turn power to the XPL300 on or off. If an optional RB 2030 rechargable battery pack is installed, it
will charge when this switch is in the “Off” position.

Using The Docking Station
The XPL300 has a built-in MP3 docking station, which fits neatly into a special compartment above the XPL300’s mixer allowing you to install an MP3 player to provide
background music for meetings or performances. The XPL300’s docking station is compatible with most popular MP3 players that have a 30-pin connector on the bottom.
Follow the steps below to install your MP3 player.
ENGLISH
• If your MP3 player came with a dock adapter, fit it in the XPL300’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.
Interconnecting the XPL300
Using one XPL300: In this example, microphones are connected to the XLR mic inputs of channels 1 and 2, and a stereo key-
board is connected to the stereo 1/4" TRS connector of channel 3/4 (using a Y-cord, with the tip carrying the left signal and the
ring carrying the right signal). IMPORTANT NOTE: When using just one XPL300, always be sure to set its Mono/Stereo
switch to “Mono.”

Expedition Pro XPL300
Using one XPL300 and an XPL200 (stereo operation): In this example, microphones are connected to the XLR mic inputs of
channels 1 and 2 of an XPL300, and a stereo keyboard is connected to the stereo 1/4" TRS connector of channel 3/4 of the XPL300
(using a Y-cord, with the tip carrying the left signal and the ring carrying the right signal). A connection is then made between
the Right output of the XPL300 to the XLR input of an XPL200. IMPORTANT NOTE: When using the XPL300 with additional
Expedition Pro enclosures, always be sure to set the XPL300 Mono/Stereo switch to “Stereo.”
ENGLISH
Using one XPL300 and three XPL200s (extended range stereo operation): In this example, microphones are connected to the
XLR mic inputs of channels 1 and 2 of an XPL300, and a stereo keyboard is connected to the stereo 1/4" TRS connector of channel
3/4 of the XPL300 (using a Y-cord, with the tip carrying the left signal and the ring carrying the right signal). A connection is then
made between the Left output of the XPL300 to the XLR input of an XPL200 (both will then carry the same left channel signal).
Finally, a connection is made between the Right output of the XPL300 and an XPL200, and between that XPL200’s XLR output
and the XLR input of a third XPL200 (both will then carry the same right channel signal). IMPORTANT NOTE: When using the
XPL300 with additional Expedition Pro enclosures, always be sure to set the XPL300 Mono/Stereo switch to “Stereo.”

Positioning and Mounting Instructions
General Positioning Tips
• Operating a microphone or turntable in front of a speaker is a sure formula for
feedback and/or rumble problems, so always place the Expedition Pro in front
of any mics or turntables that are being used.
ENGLISH
• Use the Expedition Pro upright for all “front-of-house” PA applications; use it in
its tilt-back position only for onstage monitoring.
• Always raise the speakers as high above the audience as is practicable for maximum coverage.
• Use sufficient enclosures for the space you’re in. The larger the space, the more
speakers will be required.
Pole-Mounting
The underside of the Expedition Pro 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 TS50 or TS100 speakers stands). Pole-mounting is generally advisable
when you want to maximize the distance that the Expedition Pro covers (sometimes called speaker “throw”).
If you are using an DB1500 subwoofer, you can use its integral pole mount to place
an XPL100, XPL200 or XPL300 immediately above it, creating a complete column
of sound.
Fly Mounting, Wall Mounting, and Ceiling Mounting
As shown in the illustration below, the top panel of the Expedition Pro contains a
number of fly points, located in compartments to the left and right of the wireless
receiver compartment. The covers placed over these compartments are simply
attached with double-sided sticky tape, so just pull up to remove.

Positioning and Mounting Instructions
Before fly-mounting, wall-mounting or ceiling-mounting the Expedition Pro, you must
first install a Samson MP1020 mounting bracket to the fly points, as shown in the illustrations on the right
Standard cabling and hardware can then be attached to the MP1020 mounting bracket in
environments where the Expedition Pro needs to be “flown.”
In fixed installations where you wish to mount the Expedition Pro to a ceiling, use the
OmniMount model 100-STMP mount, as shown in the illustration below:

enclosure (or to any loudspeaker system, for that matter)—pairs a powerful 500-watt amplifier with a heavy-duty 15" low frequency driver in order to
provide deep low end response. A built-in stereo electronic crossover allows
the DB1500 to operate either in mono or as a common subwoofer in a stereo
system. It features an all-steel grill and rigid corners, as well as an integral 1
3/8" pole-mount receptacle
• The RB 2030 rechargable battery cartridge, which provides up to two hours of
power to either the XPL200 or XPL300 from its dual Lead-Acid GelCel batteries.
• The MP1020 mounting bracket, which allows any Expedition Pro enclosure
to be “flown” or mounted on the wall or ceiling using standard OmniMount
hardware. For more information, see the “Positioning and Mounting the

Caractéristiques techniques
SAMSON
FRANÇAIS
Les enceintes Samson Expedition Pro bénéficient des
dernières avancées technologiques, ce qui leur permet
d'offrir des performances exceptionnelles en matière de
modularité et de mobilité. Voici quelques-unes de leurs
caractéristiques :
• La poignée télescopique et les roulettes intégrées facilitent grandement le transport et le déplacement de
l'enceinte.
• D'une grande légèreté et compacité, les enceintes
Expedition Pro n'en sont pas moins robustes et parées
pour la route. En polypropylène injecté, elles bénéficient
d'un très grand support interne avec des parois d'environ
1,25cm d'épaisseur, ce qui leur confère une solidité et une
rigidité suffisante pour mener le maximum d'énergie à la
sortie audio. Grâce à la grille métallique et au revêtement
anti-éraflures, les enceintes sont encore plus résistantes
et performantes, même dans les environnements les plus
exigeants.
• Les basses fréquences sont restituées par un Woofer de
30 cm (12 pouces) de conception spéciale équipé d'une
bobine de 6,3 cm (2,5 pouces) avec support en Kapton et
d'un aimant en ferrite de baryum de 1,4 kg garantissant
une réponse très précise et prononcée.
• Les hautes fréquences sont cristallines et très douces
grâce au Tweeter à compression de 2,5 cm (1 pouce) avec
dôme en titane de conception spéciale, à l’élément de
mise en phase assurant une réponse linéaire et au pavillon
à guide d’ondes elliptique permettant d'éliminer toute diffraction sonore.
• Possibilité d'utiliser les Expedition Pro comme bains de
pied de scène grâce au pivot intégré.
• Le réceptacle pour pied 1 3/8" et les points d'ancrage permettent de monter les
Expedition Pros sur un pied ou une perche et de les fixer/suspendre au moyen
d'accessoires standard.
• L'XPL100 est une enceinte passive pouvant être reliée à n'importe quel amplifica
teur d'au plus 250 Watts dans 8 Ohms. Ne nécessitant aucune alimentation, elle
est équipée de connecteurs Speakon et de Jacks 6,35mm permettant de relier, si
besoin est, plusieurs XPL100 en cascade.
• La XPL200 est équipée d’un amplificateur de puissance léger de 250 Watts (travaillant en Classe D) et d’un filtre de coupure perfectionné. Les deux connecteurs XLR
symétriques permettent de relier plusieurs enceintes Expedition Pro en cascade,
et un limiteur garantit l'absence de distorsion en sortie même lorsque l'XPL200 est
poussée dans ses retranchements. Enfin, l'XPL200 bénéficie de trois étages de protection des haut-parleurs avec commutations de relais lors des mises sous et hors
tension.
-
• L'XPL300 reprend toutes les caractéristiques de l'XPL200 en lui ajoutant un mélan
geur stéréo 4 voies très souple d'emploi proposant deux voies micro/ligne mono
et une voie micro/ligne stéréo sur connecteurs XLR et Jacks 6,35mm. En outre,
deux connecteurs RCA séparés permettant la connexion d'une platine cassette
