General

If entertainment is your livelihood, you don't want to take any risks as far as amplification goes, so bringing your own PA system with you is a great way to ensure your show will go flawlessly! The term "PA system" sounds bigger than it actually is, especially in the case of the Samson XP800. It consists of two speakers (with an 8" woofer and a 1" tweeter), and a mixer with enough capability to amplify a small band. The sound of this set is simply fantastic with a frequency response of 20 - 20,000 Hz.

Properties of the Samson XP

Connect four microphones to two stereo sources to cover your bases with a small band. You can adjust the aeffects of each mic channel with the turn of a knob, and you can even hook up external devices like an MP3 player either via a mini jack cable or Bluetooth. There is also a USB port for connecting a Stage XPD1 wireless microphone system, which is especially handy in combination with Bluetooth when selecting the tracks on your smartphone that you want to sing along to without having to move from your spot on centre stage.

For anyone, anywhere

Specifications are important, but most mobile entertainers aren't that interested in all that technological mumbo-jumbo. Their requirements are simply that it needs to be user-friendly, it needs to sound good, and it needs to be versatile. the XP800 meets all these criteria, and leaves no room for error thanks to a simple operating panel. The sound is sublime, and when it comes to possibilities, the XP800 is loaded with them. Best of all: you can transport this set with one hand! In short: this PA is easy to use, has possibilities galore and is top-notch quality!

Wrote the following about Samson Expedition XP800 portable PA system

I'm a singer and bought this to do my acoustic sets with. It does what it should. Sound quality is good and stays clear with volume, both with passive and active mics. Fan in the PA is audible when you're close enough to toggle, but is not audible when you're singing, even a capella. I've also tried the Yamaha version of this kind of portable set, and I like the sound of the Samson better. Just a pity it doesn't have a mid toggle (yes I am a control freak) and also that the monitor output is not amped, so you can't divide the speakers and make one monitor and one master. You need an active speaker to attach to the monitor. Also why do they make electric cables so short (this goes for all brands)? This set is also light enough for me to move on my own and the fact that the PA and cables are stowed away in the speakers is super handy. I don't use the slide-into-each-other feature though, because then it's too heavy and a bit bulky to get in and out of the (small trunk) car with care. The material of the speaker housing is easily cleanable with a damp cloth and a towel.

NAMM 2016: Samson Expedition XP800 Portable PA System

Thursday 7 January 2016 By Lizanne

Nothing is more frustrating to a travelling entertainer, than arriving to perform at a venue, only to find they have a poor PA system, or none at all! The solution is really quite simple: invest in your own., like Take the Samson XP800, for example! This PA system has just been unveiled, and we wanted you to be the first to know about it.
