System Features
The Samson Expedition Pro system uses state-of-the art
technology to bring a revolutionary new degree of flex-
ibility and portability to professional audio. Its main fea-
tures 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 com-
pact yet exceptionally durable and roadworthy.
Injection-molded with Polypropylene, they feature sub-
stantial 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
Kevlar-impregnated 12" low frequency driver with a
2.5" Kapton Former voice coil and 50 ounce barium fer-
rite magnet for accurate and super-tight bass response.
• A high frequency section that delivers clear, sweet top
end thanks to its 1" compression driver with a specially
designed phenolic diaphragm, along with a phasing plug
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 XP100 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 XP100s to be daisy-chained where
extended coverage is required.
• The XP200 contains dual power amplifiers and an active crossover. Operating in
a biamped configuration, one power amp drives the low frequency section
with 150 watts of power and the other drives the high frequency section with
50 watts of power. The active crossover uses an advanced Linkwist-Riley constant
phase filter that provides a steep rolloff of 24 dB per octave to reduce sonic dis-
tortion at the crossover frequencies. Dual balanced XLR connectors allow daisy-
chaining of multiple Expedition Pro enclosures, and a switchable limiter circuit
assures a clean output even when you’re pushing the XP200 to maximum levels.
In addition, there are three stages of speaker protection, including relay switching
for power on and off.
• The XP300 includes all the features of the XP200, 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 connec-
tors allow you to hook up an external cassette or CD player. Each mixer chan-
nel includes two-band equalization and independent volume control,
