Manufacturer's Description for Samson EX500 500-watt 15-inch Powered Subwoofer for PA

The EX500 active subwoofer can produce 500 Watts of power in tandem with a custom, heavy-duty 15 in. low frequency driver. It functions as an ideal complement to Expedition Series cabinets, or any loudspeaker system, when the application requires a focused yet deep bass response.

The built-in stereo crossover lets you use the EX500 in mono or as a common subwoofer in a stereo system. It also features a steel grill and rigid corners for durability, as well as an integral pole mount for conveniently mounting Expedition Series cabinets.

Expedition Series: 3 Enclosures, Unlimited Possibilities
Expedition is a versatile 2-way loudspeaker enclosure available in 3 different versions: passive (EX10), powered (EX20), and powered with a built-in 4-channel mixer and digital signal processing (EX30). These loudspeakers represent smart solutions for clubs and performance halls, mobile DJ use, houses of worship, corporate A/V, and any institutional application where portable audio is required. A range of available Expedition options includes a rechargeable battery kit, a cassette recorder/player with pitch control, and plug-in Samson micro wireless modules. A 500 Watt powered subwoofer (EX500) rounds out the line. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Samson products.

"Rocks the floor !"

Sound: Used it for live performance over the last three years. Did the job and gave me rich low end which really enriched our sound. Feature: Different connection options would have been helpfull. All in all , well build and durable. Ease of Use: I was quite happy with it . For the money I thought it provided great value Quality: Excellent for the price Value: Yes well worth it Manufacturer Support: You guys are the best . I've never been disappointed by your service! The Wow Factor: Rocked the floor . not a crack or groan. Did what a sub should Overall: Can't see replacing it . Works for me

Style of Music: Jazz with touch of CONTEMPORARY

"Needs work!"

Sound: The sound is ok. Doesn't have the punch I thought it would. Low efficiency speaker. I don't think it's made for live music but would do the job for a DJ. Feature: It has a built in crossover and volume controls, clip light, and high pass outputs. Could of had different types of inputs other than just XLR's. Quality: The box is made well, but could use a better amp and speaker. The amp says it's 500 watts which doesn't seem accurate. But this could be because of the low efficiency speaker. The amp also overheated on me during a jam. It was VERY HOT! I thought it was going to blow up. Needs a cooling fan. Value: This is alot cheaper than any other powered sub in it's price range. Manufacturer Support: I'll give the support a dead center 5 because I never dealt with them. The Wow Factor: I sold this sub, so I guess that means I don't want it. Overall: It needs work. Would do the job for small DJ rigs, but not for live music. It's just too weak to handle a bass guitar or kick drum. I wouldn't count on it though, as it overheats easily.

Style of Music: Rock, Jam band, Jazz, Funk
