Samson EX500 Speaker User Manual


 
Introduction
2
Thank you for purchasing the Expedition EX500 Subwoofer by Samson. The EX500 is a
self- powered, 500 Watt subwoofer featuring a 15” heavy duty driver, complemented by a
500 Watt, lightweight, Down Tracking Amplifier. The EX500 also offers an active stereo
crossover providing a high-passed output for running your satellite speakers. Solid 3/4 inch
plywood construction, steel corners, tough carpet covering and larger casters make the
EX500 a road warrior. In fixed installation systems, the EX500 provides super tight low fre-
quency output in a relatively small, unobtrusive enclosure. The EX500 is a perfect add-on to
your Expedition system, or for any sound reinforcement system where extended low-end is
desired. While using your Expedition EX500, you’ll have great low-end anywhere.
In these pages, you’ll find a detailed description of the features of the EX500 Subwoofer, as
well as a guided tour through its front and rear panels, step-by-step instructions for its setup
and use, and full specifications. You’ll also find a warranty card enclosed—please don’t for-
get to fill it out and mail it in so that you can receive online technical support and so we can
send you updated information about these and other Samson products in the future.
With proper care and adequate air circulation, your EX500 will operate trouble free for many
years. We recommend you record your serial number in the space provided below for future
