Frequently Asked Questions - Expedition XP312w SAMSON

How do I pair my smartphone via Bluetooth with the XP312w?

Turn on the speaker and the Bluetooth on your device. Press the PAIR button on the back of the XP312w. The Bluetooth LED flashes slowly. In your device's Bluetooth settings, select Samson BLUETOOTH. If a code is requested, enter 0000. The LED becomes solid blue when the connection is established.

How do I charge the internal battery?

Connect the supplied power cord to the AC input of the XP312w and to a wall outlet. Set the power switch to OFF (or RECHARGE if available). The CHARGE LED lights red during charging and turns off (or turns green) when charging is complete, typically after 4 to 6 hours.

What type of batteries should I use in the CH88 wireless microphone?

Use two standard alkaline AA (LR6) batteries. Rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries may work, but their battery life will be shorter (about 4 hours). Insert them following the polarity indications in the compartment.

How do I connect an additional wireless microphone (XPD)?

Plug the USB receiver RXD2 into the XPD WIRELESS port on the back of the XP312w. Turn on the transmitter (HXD1 or PXD1). If necessary, pair the transmitter and receiver by pressing and holding the receiver button for 5 seconds until it flashes, then press the transmitter power button until the LEDs become solid.

How do I adjust the volume of the wireless microphone?

Use the CH3 WIRELESS VOLUME knob on the mixing panel. For fine adjustment, you can also adjust the sensitivity of the CH88 transmitter using the supplied screwdriver (INPUT POWER control under the battery cover).

How do I use the voiceover function?

Set the VOICEOVER switch on the back to ON. When a signal is detected on a microphone input (CH1, wireless mic or XPD), the volume of other sources (CH2, Bluetooth) automatically decreases. The volume returns to normal when the mic is no longer used.

What should I do if the sound is distorted?

First, lower the volume of the affected channel. If distortion persists on the wireless mic, reduce the transmitter sensitivity with the screwdriver (INPUT POWER control). Also check that the mic batteries are sufficiently charged and that the transmitter is not too close to the receiver.

How do I clean the XP312w speaker?

Unplug the device. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use chemical or abrasive products. Avoid liquid entering the openings. Do not clean the inside.

Can I link two XP312w speakers together?

Yes, use the LINE OUT (6.35mm jack) of the first XP312w to connect it to a line input (e.g., auxiliary or combo input) of the second XP312w. The LINE OUT signal is pre-master and pre-EQ, so the master settings will affect both speakers if they are linked in series.

How do I change the channel of the CR88a wireless receiver?

Use the UP and DOWN buttons on the receiver to browse channels. To synchronize the transmitter, press and hold UP for 3 seconds (IR mode), then place the transmitter (battery compartment open) facing the IR window of the receiver. You can also activate automatic scanning by pressing and holding DOWN for 3 seconds.

Adjusting the squelch

Squelch is a function of the receiver that passes audio when the desired radio signal is above the squelch threshold and mutes audio when the radio signal is below the threshold. The higher the squelch setting, the stronger the incoming signal will have to be in order for you to hear it.

To set your squelch level, place the wireless transmitter at the furthest distance you expect to use it and adjust the squelch level until it mutes the signal. Then adjust the squelch level back up until the wireless transmitter signal is heard.

The squelch level should be set just above the background radio signal noise. If the squelch setting is set too low, you will hear static noise pass through the receiver when the transmitter is turned off or out of range.

1. Short press the SET (3) button two times to enter the squelch adjustment mode.

2. Press the UP (1) button to increase the squelch threshold level.

3. Press the DOWN (2) button to decrease the squelch threshold level.

Connecting Samson XPD Wireless

The following steps detail connecting a Samson XPD2 USB digital wireless system (sold separately) to your XP312w.

1. Plug the RXD2 USB receiver into one of the USB jacks on rear panel of the XP312w directly (figure 1) or using the included USB extension cable (figure 2).

2. Place a fresh set of AA (LR6) batteries in the transmitter battery holder, taking care to observe the polarity markings.

3. Turn the Channel 3 Wireless Volume knob completely counterclockwise, then turn the power of the XP312w to the ON position.

4. Turn on the power to the HXD1 handheld or PXD1 beltpack transmitter by pressing and holding Power switch; the indicator LED will light amber.

5. If the transmitter and receiver have not been previously paired, press and hold the button on the RXD2 receiver for >5 seconds, until it begins to flash. Press and continue to hold the Power button on the transmitter until the LED indicators on both units light steady, indicating that the receiver and transmitter are paired and ready for operation.

6. Speak or sing into the microphone at a normal performance level and raise the Channel 3 Wireless Volume knob on the XP312w until the desired level is reached.

7. If you hear distortion turn down the Channel 3 Wireless Volume on the XP312w. If distortion is still audible, use the supplied screwdriver to turn the Gain control in the HXD1 transmitter slowly counterclockwise until the distortion disappears.

Conversely, if you hear a weak, noisy signal at the desired volume level and with the Wireless level control of the XP312w is set to maximum, use the screwdriver to turn the Gain control in the HXD1 transmitter slowly clockwise until the signal reaches an acceptable level.

Using the LINE OUT Jack

The XP312w LINE OUT jack allows you to connect the XP312w with any powered speaker to expand your system or link two XP312w systems together to daisy chain the speakers.

Using a standard shielded 1/4" instrument cable, connect the LINE OUT on the XP312w to a line level input of a second powered speaker. The XP312w will send a mix of all inputs, including Bluetooth® audio. Each channel VOLUME will control corresponding output level to the LINE OUT jack.

Using a Speaker Stand

The XP312w includes a 1 3/8" (35mm) pole mount receptacle on the bottom of the cabinet. This fits a standard 1-3/8" (35mm) speaker stand. For maximum coverage when using a speaker stand, the speaker should be raised above the heads of the listening audience.

Take care when placing the speaker on a stand, to ensure that it is on a level, steady surface and will not tip over. Use a stand designed to support a speaker with a minimum weight of 40lb.

Charging the Battery

The XP312w has an internal, rechargeable battery capable of up to 12 hours of continuous audio on a full charge. Even though the system may have some charge when first taken out of the box, it is recommended to fully charge your XP312w before first using the system.

To charge the battery:

1. Connect the XP312w to an AC power outlet using the included power cable.
2. Set the power switch to the "RECHARGE" position.
3. While charging the CHARGING indicator will light red.
4. Keep the system plugged in until the CHARGING indicator changes to green, indicating the battery is fully charged.

If you find that the operation time of the XP312w becomes noticeably decreased, even after fully charging, the battery should be replaced. Contact Samson customer service or your local distributor for a replacement battery.

Installing the CR88a Receiver

The XP312w comes with one CR88a receiver installed. You can add an additional CR88a receiver to the system. Follow these steps to install the receiver.

1. Turn the XP312w POWER off and leave the AC power cable disconnected until the installation process is completed.
2. Press the button with the arrow under the blank receiver panel until the panel pops out (you may need to use a non-marking tool).
3. Remove the blank panel by sliding it out of the XP312w.
4. Align the CR88a module with the open slot and slide the module in until it is fully seated in the XP312w.

Note: When using multiple systems, each system must be set to a different operating channel.
