Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Expedition Express battery-powered portable

sound system, featuring wireless Bluetooth®connectivity, to stream audio from

your smart phone, tablet, or computer. The Expedition Express is a complete

all-in-one solution providing the flexibility of a three-channel mixer (with inputs

for a microphone, instrument, and line level devices), a line output for linking

multiple speakers, and bass and treble tone controls.

Lightweight and compact, the Expedition Express weighs less than 10lbs mak-

ing it an excellent complement to any mobile speaker situation. The internal

battery provides eight hours of audio on a full charge. The Expedition Express

can also be powered by the included AC adaptor for continuous audio.

Whether you are looking for a sound system for use outdoors, in the classroom,

for karaoke, for presentations, or performing live music, the Expedition Express

provides high quality, portable audio in a small self-powered package.

We recommend you keep the following records for reference, as well as a copy

of your sales receipt.

Quick Start

Follow these steps below to quickly get started using your Expedition Express

portable sound system.

• Set the Expedition Express's power switch to the OFF position, and fully

turn all of the VOL controls counterclockwise to 0.

• If an outlet is available, connect the included power adaptor to the DC IN of

the speaker, and plug it into an AC socket.

• Connect a microphone using a standard XLR cable, instrument and line

level equipment using a 1⁄4" instrument cable, or portable audio device

using a 1⁄8" cable.

• Switch on the Expedition Express power.

• While speaking into the microphone, playing the instrument, or playing

music from a line level audio source, slowly raise the channel VOL until you

have reached the desired level.

NOTE: If not using the channel 1 input, turn the VOL control all the way down to

keep out any unwanted noise.

Using EQ

The Expedition Express feature a 2-band equalizer allowing you to adjust the

systems overall high and low frequencies. The system’s frequency response is

flat when the knobs are in the vertical or "12:00" position. Small movements of

the controls can make a big difference. Turning the controls all the way up can

cause distortion. Use your ears when adjusting the EQ to fit your application.

We have provided two example settings to help you get started fine tuning your

system.

Setting the EQ for Music

If you are using the Expedition Express for music

playback, turn up the BASS and TREBLE slightly

to produce a “hi-ﬁ” frequency response that ac-

centuates the low and high ranges.

Setting the EQ for Vocal

If you are using your Expedition Express with a

microphone for speech only, you can reduce the

BASS and raise the TREBLE slightly, which will

produce a frequency response that accentuates

the vocal range.

Pairing with a

Bluetooth

®device

Bluetooth®is a wireless communication technology that allows for connectivity

between a wide range of devices. The Expedition Express uses Bluetooth to

stream high quality audio from your Bluetooth enabled device without the need for

connecting any cables. In order for your device to work with the Expedition Express

it must first be paired.

1. Turn all three channel VOL controls all down counterclockwise to 0.

2. With the Expedition Express and your Bluetooth device powered on; press

the PAIR button on the rear panel of the Expedition Express speaker to

make the speaker discoverable. The Bluetooth indicator will slowly flash

blue.

3. In the settings of your Bluetooth device, set it to “discover” available

devices.

4. From the Bluetooth device list, select the "Samson Express" device.

5. If your device asks for a passkey, enter digits 0000 (four zeros) and press

OK. Some devices may also ask you to accept the connection.

6. As the Expedition Express is connecting

to your device, the Bluetooth indicator will

quickly flash blue.

7. The Expedition Express speaker indicates

that pairing is complete when the indica-

tor turns steady blue. You can now stream

audio from your device to the Expedition

Express speakers.

8. With the volume control on your Bluetooth

device turned up, play some music, and

slowly raise the Expedition Express channel

3 VOL control until you have reached the

desired level.

Charging the Battery

The Expedition Express has an internal, rechargeable battery capable of eight

hours of continuous audio on a full charge. Even though the system may have

some charge when first taken out of the box, we recommend fully charging

your Expedition Express before first using the system.

To charge the battery:

• Set the power switch to the

“OFF” position.

• Connect the Expedition

Express to an AC power outlet

using the included power

adapter.

• Keep the system plugged in

until the CHARGE indicator

changes to green, indicating

the battery is fully charged.

The Expedition Express utilizes a sealed lead-acid gel cell battery. When

not in use, the battery will slowly self-discharge. If you are planning not to

use the Expedition Express for a long period of time, it is advised to fully

charge the unit before storing. It is also important to charge the unit every six

months when not used. This will ensure a healthy battery and extend its life.

If the battery is left with a very low charge for an extended period of time, it

is possible to recharge the battery to working condition, but the charge time

can take over 24 hours.

If you find that the operation time of the Expedition Express becomes

noticeably decreased, even after fully charging, the battery should be

replaced. Contact Samson customer service or your local distributor for a

replacement battery.
