System Features
• The EX30 includes all the features of the
EX20, and adds a flexible four-channel
stereo mixer that provides two
monophonic and one stereo mic/line
channels with dual XLR and 1/4"
connectors. In addition, separate dual
phono connectors allow you to hook up
an external cassette or CD player.
Each mixer channel includes two-band
equalization and independent volume
control, and there’s even built-in digital
effects for the addition of six different
reverb presets. Balanced left and right
XLR outputs allow daisy-chaining of
multiple Expedition speakers (with a
mono/stereo switch that allows operation
in either mode), and a VU meter enables
you to continuously monitor output levels.
The EX20 and EX30 also include a meter
that shows battery level when used with
the optional RB 2030 rechargable battery
cartridge (see below).
• The top panel of both the EX20 and
EX30 provides a prewired compartment
that accommodates a variety of Samson
wireless systems that offer superior RF
and audio performance already proven
on stages around the world. Receivers
supported include the UM1 or M32 UHF
models or the VM1 VHF model.
• A wide range of optional accessories,
including: the MP 1030 mounting bracket,
which allows any Expedition enclosure to
be “flown” from the ceiling; the RB 2030
rechargable battery cartridge, which
provides up to two hours of power to
either the EX20 or EX30 from its dual
Lead-Acid GelCel batteries; and the TD30 cassette recorder, which fits neatly into a
special compartment above the EX30’s mixer to provide background music and/or
to record meetings or performances. The TD30 even includes a pitch control so you
can alter the tempo of the music for applications like aerobic instruction.
• The EX500 is an active subwoofer that pairs a massive 500-watt amplifier with a
heavy-duty 15" low frequency driver. It is an ideal complement to any Expedition
enclosure or any loudspeaker system, when the application requires deep, powerful
low end response. Its built-in stereo electronic crossover allows the EX500 to
operate either in mono or as a common subwoofer in a stereo system. It features
an all-steel grill and rigid corners, as well as an integral pole mount.
