A compact PA system with dual 2-way speakers, on-board mixer and 300-watt power amplifier, the Expedition XP308i (XP308i) is the ultimate in portability thanks to a clever, lightweight design that allows you to connect all the pieces together into a single, easy-to-transport case. The internal 2 x 150-watt Class D power amplifier produces an incredibly clean and powerful stereo sound. The system's speakers are 2-way vented enclosures with heavy-duty 8-inch woofers for deep bass. These are complemented by a 1-inch titanium tweeter set in a custom horn with a 60 x 90 degree coverage pattern. The result is consummate dispersion and loud, lucid audio.

The XP308i's 8-channel mixer can be removed from the speaker for tabletop use and you can use the kickstand to set the mixer at an ergonomically correct angle. The mixer features four mic/line inputs, two stereo inputs, bass and treble control on each channel input and phantom power. For enhanced convenience and versatility, the XP308i includes a built-in iPod dock, which easily connects to most iPod models for seamless music playback.

Though the XP308i was designed for providing quality sound reinforcement in musical settings, the dynamic range of musical settings that can benefit from the system's features is unparalleled.

In addition, the system's speaker enclosures lend themselves perfectly to a variety of musical performances when being used as floor monitors.
