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.
Express+ Controls and Connections 1. IC/LINE Input - Use this XLR M - 1/4" combo input to connect microphones or a line devices. 2. XPD WIRELESS Input - Connect a Samson XPD digital wireless USB 3 receiver to this input. The wireless receiver gets its power from the 4 Express+, so no additional power supply is needed. 1 3. MIC/LINE VOLUME - Used to control the level of the MIC/LINE and XPD Wireless inputs. 4. LINE IN - 1/4" input used to connect line level devices. 5.
Charging the Battery The Express+ has an internal, rechargeable battery capable of up to 20 hours of continuous audio on a full charge. Even though the system may have some charge when first taken out of the box, it is recommended to fully charge your 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.
Quick Start • • • • • Set the Express+ power switch to the OFF position, and fully turn all of the LEVEL controls counterclockwise to 0. If an outlet is available, connect the included power adapter to the DC input of the speaker, and plug it into an electrical outlet. Connect your audio sources. Set the Express+ power switch to the ON position. Turn the channel Volume controls up and set the input levels, following the steps below.
Quick Start XPD Wireless Input (sold separately) • • • • • Plug the XPD USB receiver into the XPD Wireless USB jack. Turn the MIC/LINE VOLUME knob on the Express+ completely counterclockwise to 0. Place a fresh set of AA (LR6) batteries in the transmitter battery holder, taking care to observe the polarity markings, then replace the cover. Turn on the power to the transmitter by pressing and holding Power switch; the indicator LED will light amber.
Speaker Placement The Expedition Express+ provides three different placement options for your specific situation. For maximum sound coverage the Expedition Express+ can be used with a standard 1 3/8” speaker stand. The speaker should be raised above the heads of the listening audience. Take care when placing the speaker on a stand, to ensure that it is on a level, steady surface and will not tip over.
