Description
Samson Expedition Express Portable PA (250 Watts)

Everything You Need, Even Good Sound.
Expedition Express is the total solution to professional sound, made portable. It gives you everything you need to make a professional presentation anywhere you can roll it.
Expedition Express is a great solution for performers on the move. Bands, mobile DJ's, schools, houses of worship, corporate A/V and institutional applications-anywhere portable, high quality sound is required.
Unlike most portable PA systems, the Expedition Express is designed to sound great. Not just for public speaking either-but for live and recorded music, too.
The system is comprised of a pair of rugged, acoustically balanced two-way loudspeakers, a 4-channel mixer with DSP, a powerful 250 Watt amplifier and all the accessories you need. What's more, the system interlocks, and packs up into a single rolling unit so it's easy to transport.
We've thought of everything: Expedition Express includes a professional dynamic microphone, mic clip, mic cable, extension speaker cable and protective ballistic nylon cases.

Compact and Powerful

The Expedition Express combines a powered speaker with built-in amplification and controls, and a light-weight second speaker or 'slave'. When set up for performance, the two cabinets are connected by a single cable. When they are packed of for the road, the lightweight passive speaker cabinet locks into the top of the amplified speaker cabinet with a unique auto-locate mechanism. Each loudspeaker is housed in a lightweight, yet heavy-duty, molded resin cabinet with extensive internal bracing to give it rigidity, low resonance and the maximum possible volume.

Pro Quality Electronics

The Expedition Express's integrated amplifier is perfectly matched to the drivers for surprisingly high efficiency. The sound is clear and hard-hitting. Built-in digital signal processing (DSP) adds dramatic pro-quality effects like reverb and echo at the flip of a switch. Selecting from six preset effects makes getting great sound easy and fast.
Like Samson's Expedition Pro enclosures, the Express features custom designed high and low frequency drivers. The High Frequency section employs an elliptical wave-guide horn that offers extra wide dispersion for maximum coverage.
Samson's engineering team set out to design the ultimate in portability, with professionally superior sound for all kinds of applications.
With molded-in handle and wheels, you can roll the cabinet anywhere you want. This makes Expedition Express ideal for boardrooms, classrooms and fitness studios, either as a portable speaker or mobile all-in-one sound system.

The Complete System Approach

The Expedition Express takes the guesswork out of public presentations. Everything you need is in one package: Speakers, built-in mixer with DSP, Samson microphone and all the cables. Best of all, you don't have to be an engineer to hook it all up. Sets up (and packs up) in less than 5 minutes.
Not only is it easy to use, it has 250 Watts of power and professional grade electronics so it sounds great-good enough even for professional musicians. So if you are looking for an easy-to-use portable PA, look no further than the Expedition Express by Samson. It's your ticket to great live sound.

"Have the old one want a new one"

powered speaker is the way to go I can increase the power buy just adding a speaker

plastic, and clean,

It's in a class alone, you can use them alone or togather and nothing else can do that, It is not cheap but well worth it

It looks good, what else can you say

"Get's the job done!"
Feature:
Yes, the Samson mic is nice, but could use a on off switch. Cables for the speakers is satisfactory. Mic clip works fine.

Quality:
Samson did a good job. Just work on the wheels for better rolling. Should last a long time with proper care.

Value:
Yes! Good price. Not nearly as expensive as other powered speakers/PA systems. However, unit is worth every dollar if you need a system to augment vocals, monitor, small dj gigs or performing in small venues like a corporate event, coffee shop.

Desirability:
Nothing sexual about it Bro! Nice to look at, but what do you want.. a blow up doll or a PA?

Sound:
The sound of the Samson Expedition 250 watt Pa System is clean. The DSP feature is nice, especially for singers. The unit is perfect for a standard Vocal PA or small to medium Dj/combo/public speaking gig. The unit needs to be used with a Bass Sub if you want to kick it harder in clubs. However, if you use it for promotional events with DJ music...you will be fine. The unit works well with larger cabs and smaller speakers. For exampe, the peavy PR 10's or any 15 Cab with oomph will augment the overall sound. Jacks: 1/4 and XLR,and Rca connections are convenient. Offers a wireless plugin for wireless mics. How to improve system: First, enlarge the wheels for better rolling. Add a Bass Sub to improve low end. Offer a 15 speaker! Integrate a CD player into unit. Finally, install a protective cover for the pan pots on the mixer to prevent damage.

Ease of Use:
Easy to use....enough said. Unit sounds good as a monitor for a keyboard player or musician/singer.

Support:
NO.

Overall:
I will use it until it stops working. Hopefully, it should give me many years of great service. If the unit was lost or stolen, I would be sad, but let's not go there. Would I buy another? If the unit had a more powerful Sub Woofer to work with the EXP's.
