XP308i Features
The Expedition XP308i PA system is an ideal
solution for a variety of live sound applications.
Here are some of its main features:
The XP308i is a compact PA system with dual
2-way speakers, onboard mixer and 300 watt
power amplifier.
The XP308i is the ultimate in portable design.
The lightweight and the clever design allow you
to connect all the pieces together into a single
easy to move case.
The internal 2 x 150 watt lightweight Class D
power amplifier produces a clean, loud, stereo
sound.
The speakers are 2-way vented enclosures with
a heavy duty 8-inch woofers for deep bass
complimented by a 1-inch titanium tweeter
set in a custom horn with a 60 x 90 degree
coverage pattern producing a clean and clear
sound.
The XP308i’s 8-channel mixer can be removed
from the speaker for tabletop use and you
can use the kick stand to set the mixer on an
ergonomically correct angle.
The mixer features four Mic/Line inputs allowing
you to connect microphones or line signals, plus
two stereo inputs for connecting line signals
from keyboards, drum machine and MP3/CD
players. You can engage the Phantom Power
switch if you are using condenser microphones.

On each of the mixer’s channel inputs there is a
Bass and Treble control allowing you to contour
the tone of the individual inputs.
To create a lush vocal effect, you can use the
internal effects processor to add Digital Reverb
to any of the microphones channels.
The XP308i features a built-in iPod dock
allowing you to easily connect most iPod
models for seamless music playback. You
can use the ipod to simply play music, add
background tracks, or repeat a commercial
message at a fair or trade show.
An overall system equalization contour can be
set using the Music/Speech switch. Setting the
switch to Speech adds a tone contour that will
help articulate the voice and when the switch
is set to Music a tone contour with slightly
enhanced lows and highs is engaged.
The six-segment Level Meter with LIMITER
indicator helps you set a good clean level with
minimal distortion.
You can record your performance by
connecting the RCA Record Outputs to an
external recorder.
For added flexibility, the XP308i’s mixer has
a Monitor Out on two, ¼ inch jacks allowing
you to connect to external powered monitor
speakers.
