exceptionally versatile system offers the perfect solution wherever you need portable, high-
quality audio: as a main PA system or as onstage monitors in clubs and performance
halls; in houses of worship; as a sound system for business presentations, mobile DJs at parties,
or aerobics instruction; and for use in outdoor environments such as parks, beaches and flea
markets. What’s more, every Expedition pro system comes with a built-in telescoping handle

Expedition XP200 is a powered version that includes a bi-amped power cell along with an

receivers!
