For reference I play in a jazz duo and trio, and often with acoustic instruments. So take that into account when I say that this will work for venues of up to fifty people.As such this system is more than sufficient for solo and duo acts. You may be able to use it in larger venues for concerts as opposed to providing background and ambiance music. I have played in small venues where the audience was there for happy hour and chatting among themselves and this system would not work. I have also used it in much larger venues where the audience was there for a concert and this system easily provided the sound level needed to be heard.
One of the main reasons why I awarded this five stars is sound quality. Although the speakers are small they are rich sounding and can crank out some surprising low end when we run a piano through it. I also love the ability to tailor reverb to three of the channels independent of one another. In fact, you can turn reverb off on one or two channels while using it on a third, or any combination thereof. You can also set different reverb levels for each of the three channels that will accept reverb, which is a wonderful way to dial in various vocalists.
As for the speaker cables that ship with this system, I hold them in reserve as spares and am using a pair of Planet Waves Classic Series Speaker Cable s, which are more gig-worthy in my opinion. To be honest there is nothing particularly wrong with the cables that ship with this PA, but I prefer heavy duty, pro-level cables on gigs. Another item you may want to consider if you purchase this PA is an Arriba Padded Multi Purpose Case Atp-16 , which fits this PA. It allows you to transport it in inclement weather and protect the exposed mixer.
Overall I am very happy with this PA, but I knew the limitations before I made a final purchase decision. For small venues and lighter music this may be all the PA you need.
The design of the system is well conceived: the amp/mixer nests in the back of one speaker and all the wiring fits nicely in the back of the other speaker AND the two speakers then interlock so that the entire unit is compact and easily portable.
More importantly, the sound quality is very good. I have used the system to play music at several outdoor parties, the largest being an event of approximately 90 people in an area about 2/3 of an acre in size. Even in this setting, I never needed to turn the volume up to anywhere near its maximum output.
A DJ who was a guest at one event commented that his (more expensive) PA system did not sound any better than the Samson Expedition XP308i and he had to rent or borrow a minivan to haul his equipment. A couple other people commented that this unit sounded so good, they'd love to use it in their home theaters.
I know that the 308i mixer board is not as sophisticated as other bigger, more expensive models. But for the price and performance, I feel this is an outstanding value.
good sound
very versatile: bluetooth, jacks, thumb drive
Samson did not have the replacement piece the defective unit needed, & after 5 months in the repair shop agreed to replace defective unit.
Thus, 1.5 years total without a functioning unit
I purchased the XP1000 1000 watt system not because of the Bluetooth capability (I'm already using the Samson Bluetooth adapter for the XP510i) but on a hope that the 1000 watt system would produce a lower bass without any distortion. So far so good. When I get a chance I want to connect the XP510i to the XP1000 via the Monitor Out to see what kind of sound I get. Maybe set the XP510i to handle the highs and the XP1000 to handle the lows.
Oh, by the way, watch out how you handle this system. With the amplifier box placed in it's speaker compartment, the knobs are outside. When transporting, they can be easily damaged. But like I said, I have used it without any problems, for back yard BBQs, family reunions, high school reunions, outdoor ranch parties, etc., and I even dropped it from about 4 feet once. Must have fallen just right because when I set it up, plugged it in - it worked just fine. This baby gets used and has traveled a lot. Like anything else, treat it right and it will last you a long time.
If I could add anything to the already great system, it would be a cover for the knobs (for protection during transportation) and a remote control.

Super pratique derrière une enceinte on a le schéma de branchement de la table de mixage sur une plaque qui se détache, pour laisser place un coffre à câbles. Sur l'autre enceinte, c'est la table de mixage qui peut s'y introduire ! Et c'est super simple d'accrocher les 2 enceintes pour les transporter. Au niveau poids, on s'en sort pas mal, vu la puissance (300 W) c'est pas léger 14 Kg dans l'absolu, mais le domaine des enceintes, table de mixage, c'est léger !
La puissance est vraiment là, pour un petit pièce, on ne monte pas plus qu'à 1/4 du master volume.
Les équalizers sont pas mal, je regrette juste que le son soit parfait qu'en médium, les basse sont pas mal mais sens plus, idem pour les aiguës...
Le fait de pouvoir brancher une ipod est super intéressant, seulement le support de pose peut paraître fragile, comme la plus part des dock ipod... et puis ce n'est pas très pratique pour changer de musique, d'avoir l'ipod posé sur la table... enfin on peut faire comme moi, acheté une rallonge ipod, et le problème est réglé !
Voilà, c'est un super rapport qualité/prix ! meilleur que l'équivalent Yamaha pour ce rapport de prix puissance, je ne sais pas par contre pour le son..
En tout cas, ce système convient parfaitement à ce que je voulais en faire, un petit home studio :)
Mostly it is the sound quality that I am impressed with - I'm really pleased with the purchase.
