Small, Affordable, and Totally Portable

You don't need to bog yourself down with heavy equipment just to get the modest sound reinforcement you need. This 200-watt Samson Expedition XP208w is a perfectly portable sound system that's a great choice for coffee shop gigs, busking, picnics, and around the campfire. One of the reasons Sweetwater sound pros appreciate the Expedition XP208w is its integrated rechargeable battery, which you rarely find on such an affordable all-in-one PA. You get up to 20 hours of operation on a single charge. Additional highlights of the Expedition XP208w include an integrated wireless mic, Bluetooth streaming, and a great 4-channel mixer.

Integrated wireless mic

One of the most wonderful features of the Samson Expedition XP208w is its fully integrated wireless microphone system. This wireless setup is far more sophisticated than traditional analog types and far simpler than most digital wireless. It's a simple plug-and-play USB-based system that sets up effortlessly and provides you with over 100' of wireless transmission, with the included USB extension cable. What's more, you there's a second USB wireless port, so adding another mic to your PA is a breeze.

4-channel mixer with Bluetooth

Got a guitar? Got mics? Need to play backing tracks? No problem — the Expedition XP208w has it all covered. Its integrated 4-channel mixer accommodates Mics, instruments, and more. Bluetooth streaming makes it easy to play backing tracks or simply stream music for the neighborhood barbecue. There's even Voiceover mode, which automatically ducks playback when you talk into the mic — perfect for emceeing and performing. And if you want to expand your system, the line output makes daisy chaining your Expedition XP208w to other PA speakers easy.

Power, projection, and complete freedom

Fire up your Samson Expedition XP208w and hear exactly what 200 watts can do. Pushing its 8" woofer and 1" tweeter, this amp provides plenty of projection for modest gigs and gatherings. More importantly, it sounds really good. But that's not all — the Expedition XP208w can run entirely on battery power for up to 20 hours! So go ahead, take your Expedition XP208w camping, toss it down on the sidewalk, simply set it up in that cozy bookstore or coffee shop and don't worry about finding an outlet. You don't need one!

Great Portable PA

I needed a small portable PA and this has worked great. Wanted the capability to mix voice over music with minimal equipment and setup time. With this setup I have no wires or cables to deal with and I don't need a power source. It has good sound quality and flawless Bluetooth and wireless mic connection.
Rated 5/5

Great product

I used it at a Folk Fest as a monitor and also as a standalone unit for several dance events. It had plenty enough power at half setting and was very clear.

Show Singers review - Mo Mich sings all genres

Bought the Demo version of the XP-208w and it was shipped in less than 5 days and when it arrived it was like it was never opened. Everything was there, so happy with that.They even gave me a free 1/4 by 1/4 cable
Charged the unit overnight and then started it up the next day, The unit has some serious power folks! Is it a true 200 watts???? pretty dog on close. Hooked up my netbook with all my music and backing tracks to blue tooth with no issues- The Mic is a very good one with about 100 feet of coverage and no dead spots and it does not feel cheap at all. The Highs and Lows(Bass and Treble) are pretty booming, clear and crisp with no distortion when at very high levels, I just wish for the money I spent they could of had a MID range control. The reverb is OK, not the way I like it so I don't set it at a high level(Works better at low levels) because it sounds more like echo, just keep it at less than half way and it will sound just fine. The roller system is tough and rugged and it does not wobble like most roller systems do, I also ran the unit for 8 hours constantly with music at a high level and it had battery life to spare!!!! The over sound for singers with backing tracks is clear and smooth with no cracking and pops at all... I love this unit!! It has an in and out jack that makes this perfect to add more speakers.... Samson did a great job on this powerful little unit.

Samson Expedition XP208w

This was a big mistake to buy this unit. The microphone was inferior. When we tried a different mic, every time I would start to sing, the music would decrease to almost nothing. When I went on the internet and googled reviews on this unit, found similar complaints. The performance described by the salesman and the manufacturer was misleading and inaccurate. Not sure I will buy anything from Sweetwater again.
