Product Description

Samson XP308i Portable PA System; Have the power to perform wherever you are.
With powerful, full-range sound in an all-inclusive portable package, the XP308i is an ideal single system solution for a variety of live sound applications. A compact PA system with dual 2-way speakers, on-board mixer and 300 watt power amplifier, the XP308i is the ultimate in portability thanks to a clever, lightweight design that allows you to connect all the pieces together into a single, easy to transport case. The internal 2x150 watt Class D power amplifier produces an incredibly clean and powerful stereo sound. It's also remarkably lightweight and efficient with very low current draw.

Get a rundown on all these features in this Gearwire video review:

Features

- Compact PA system with dual 2-way speakers, mixer and 300 watt amplifier
- Practical design allows all pieces to connect into a single, portable case
- Internal 2x150 watt lightweight Class D amplifier
- 8 inch woofers in 2-way vented enclosures
- 1 inch titanium tweeter in custom horn with 60x90 degree coverage
- 8 channel removable mixer with four mic/line inputs, two stereo inputs
- Bass and treble control on mixer's channel inputs
- Monitor out on two 1/8 inch jacks allows connection to external powered monitors
- Internal effects processor to add digital reverb to any microphone channel
- Built-in iPod dock
- Music/Speech switch to set overall system equalization
- Six-segment level meter with limit indicator
- RCA record outputs to connect to external recorder

The system's speakers are 2-way vented enclosures with heavy-duty 8-inch woofers for deep bass. These are complemented by a 1-inch titanium tweeter set in a custom horn with a 60 x 90 degree coverage pattern. The result is consummate dispersion and loud, lucid audio.

The XP308i's 8-channel mixer can be removed from the speaker for tabletop use and you can use the kickstand to set the mixer at an ergonomically correct angle. The mixer features four mic/line inputs, allowing you to connect microphones or line signals. It also provides two stereo inputs for connecting line signals from keyboards, drum machines or MP3/CD players. You can even engage the phantom power switch if you are using condenser microphones.

Bass and treble control are also provided for each of the channel inputs. For enhanced convenience and versatility, the XP308i features a built-in iPod dock which easily connects to most iPod models for seamless music playback. You can also use the iPod to incorporate background tracks or repeat a commercial message at a fair or tradeshow.

With all these comprehensive features set in one portable, great sounding system, the XP308i stands out as one of the most versatile and inclusive portable PA systems on the market.

Note: This product uses a 30-pin Apple dock connector. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Samson products.

Samson XP308i PA System Customer Review
Sound: Sound is really good for a smaller room, needs a subwoofer to be great though. I used this for my brother wedding dinner outside. Sound was plenty for playing in the front yard. I paired these with a yorkville 10 inch bandpass subwoofer. Now I use them for playing video games and outdoor movie theater night. Feature: Came with everything needed. The speaker cables were a little sub-par though, one of them broke right away but aftermarket ones fixed that. Ease of Use: very easy to use. Plug them in and push play. Quality: Cabinets are pretty rugged, they have been dropped a couple of times and still work great. The storage on the backs is nice too. Value: Overall I am really happy with them for the price.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Perfect for "grownup" music!"
Sound: If you are looking for a small PA for small applications - THIS IS IT. If you are looking for something EXTREMELY loud to melt people's faces off - look elsewhere! Feature: If this had a SUB OUT it would be darn-near perfect! Ease of Use: This setup is extremely simple to operate. I pulled it out of the box and had it hooked up to my computer in a matter of minutes. Quality: This unit is very well-built! ....alot better than I had expected! Value: I would definitely buy this system again. Manufacturer Support: No idea. The Wow Factor: The manufacturer photos of this product to not do it justice. (The speakers are very sharp looking!) Overall: If anything ever happened to this setup, I would probably replace it with the larger 500W model. (It's THAT good!)
Style of Music: EVERYTHING

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

4. We make returns super easy

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
