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 congured 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, oering excel-
lent protection against wear and tear for truly portable audio. The Expedition active mon-
itors are ideal for live music, DJ, lecture, and installed sound applications, or anywhere
serious power and superior sound quality are desired.
