Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Expedition XP1000 PORTABLE PA SYSTEM from
Samson! The XP1000 delivers the optimum balance between huge, awesome sound
and portability. The system is light enough for one person to carry, and packs togeth-
er into a single unit, making it amazingly easy to transport even in the trunk of a
compact car.
The XP1000 system is comprised of two 10" 2-way speaker cabinets, a 10-channel,
1000 watt powered mixer, and two speakers cables. The powered mixer packs neatly
into the back of one of the speaker cabinets and there is a 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 10-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 three inputs for connecting stereo signals, like those from a key-
board 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 XP1000
features wireless Bluetooth ® connectivity, to stream audio from your smart phone,
tablet, or computer. The mixer also provides a robust output, with 1000 watts of total
power from the highly-efficient, lightweight, Class D amplifier section.
The XP1000 employs a matched speaker system with dual 2-way enclosures that
have proprietary 10" 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
XP1000 speakers can be mounted on standard speaker stands, thanks to the integral
pole mount receptacles. The XP1000 is constructed using durable ABS, high impact
plastic, making it super road tough, and at the same time, lightweight.
The XP1000 is the perfect tool 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 XP1000 PA system, as well as
step-by-step instructions for its setup and use, and full specifications.
