As shown in the illustration on the left, the top panel of the Expedition EX20 and
EX30 provides a prewired compartment that accommodates any of three
different Samson wireless receivers: the UM1 or M32 UHF models or the VM1
VHF model. Output signal from a wireless receiver mounted in an EX30 arrives
at channel 2 of the onboard mixer.
In addition, a number of accessories are available from your local Samson
dealer that allow you to expand the capabilities of your Expedition system.
These include:
• The EX500 active subwoofer—the ideal complement to any Expedition
enclosure (or to any loudspeaker system, for that matter)—pairs a powerful
500-watt amplifier with a heavy-duty 15" low frequency driver in order to
provide deep low end response. A 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
1 3/8" pole-mount receptacle
• 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.
• The MP 1030 mounting bracket, which allows any Expedition enclosure to
be “flown” or mounted on the wall or ceiling using standard OmniMount
hardware. For more information, see the “Positioning and Mounting the
Expedition” section on page 12.
• The TD30 cassette recorder, which fits directly above the EX30’s mixer to
provide background music and/or to record meetings or performances.
Guided Tour: TD30
1: Transport controls - A set of standard transport controls, from left to right:
Record, Play, Rewind, Fast Forward, Stop/Eject, Pause. Both the Record and
Play buttons must be pressed in simultaneously to record signal.
2: Level meter - This five-segment bar meter shows the TD30 input level.
Excursions into the red “+10 dB” segment may indicate tape overloading and
distortion.
3: Record level control - Active only when record-
ing. For optimum signal-to-noise ratio, set this con-
trol so that program material is usually at or around
0 VU on the Level meter (see #2 above), with occa-
sional but not steady excursions to the red “+4 dB”
segment.
4: Play level control - Sets the playback level.
When installed in an EX30, the TD30 output signal
arrives at mixer channels 3/4. See #6 on page 9 in
this manual for more information.
5: Pitch control - In normal operation, leave this at
the 12 o’clock position. When at the 12 o’clock
position, the tape is played back at standard speed
and pitch. When moved clockwise from the 12
o’clock position, the tape is played back at a faster
speed (and higher pitch); when moved counter-
clockwise from the 12 o’clock position, the tape is
played back at a slower speed (and lower pitch).
