Samson Expedition XP150 5-channel 150w Portable PA System

When you pick up the Expedition XP150 portable PA system, you’re going to immediately notice how lightweight it is – definitely important for a portable PA. The second requirement, though, is clear and powerful sound. And the Expedition XP150 certainly delivers in that category. It’s perfect for small band performances, public speaking engagements, or any application where you can’t compromise sound quality for portability. When the show’s over, both speakers and the mixer fit together into an ingenious, carry-it-with-one-hand package: the Expedition XP150 portable PA system.

Ingenious design lets you carry a PA in one hand

There’s no joking about this one – this portable PA system really is portable. In fact, the whole thing weighs under 25 pounds and it joins together into a portable package that’s smaller and lighter than the last suitcase you packed. Everything you need to get heard, though, is right there – tucked neatly into the Expedition XP150’s innovative case design. The speakers join together and the included mixer fits right into the back of one of the speakers. It’s the perfect take-anywhere system for singer/songwriters, schools, businesses, bands, theater groups, community groups… you name it.

Instantly optimize the sound for speech or for music

Cool trick here. It can take a while to dial in the right sound for speech and the right sound for music – especially if anyone unfamiliar with EQ is going to be running the system. To make things easy, Samson added a Music/Speech button. It’s a set-it-and-forget it way to make sure you’ve got your system optimized for the application. Now you can be sure the speech or presentation is crisp and articulate for everyone out there… and that the music sounds full and rich when it’s on. DJs are going to love this feature- flip it when you go to make an announcement or announce the next artist- flip it again when you go back to the music.

Add reverb to any microphone channel for a professional sound

One of the secrets behind a professional “live sound experience,” is adding a bit of reverb – especially to each vocalist. The Samson Expedition XP150 has that feature built-in, so you don’t have to go out and buy an expensive effects processor to get that pro “sheen.” Just flip the switch on any vocal channel you want to add reverb to, and you’re done. It’s yet another example of how the Samson Expedition XP150 makes it easy to create an awesome live sound experience.

Powerful system comes with dual 2-way speakers, so the whole crowd can hear

In the end, it’s about getting sound to the crowd’s ears, right? And Samson definitely didn’t skimp on the speaker side of things. With the Expedition XP150, you get two 75-watt speakers that pump out a surprising amount of sound… an even more surprising amount when you take in how lightweight the whole system is. From the low notes to the high notes, you can be sure the sound is coming across. Also nice, the speakers pump out sound at a wide angle – that way, even if you’re pretty far out to the left or the right of center stage, you’re still getting the benefit of clear, intelligible sound.

The mixer tilts for desktop use, the speakers tilt for monitor use

Samson really thought this one through. The Expedition XP150 does the job, yes… but it also does it with finesse. The 5-channel mixer, for example, can sit flat on your desktop, or you can use the kick-back stand to set it up so it’s easier to see and use. Likewise, you can use one speaker to get the sound out to the crowd and another speaker to get the sound to the stage. Both of the Expedition XP150’s speakers tilt back and send the sound right to your ears, so you can use them as floor monitors.
