Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this unit able to sync up with a Samsung 7 smart phone to play music? Am I able to purchase additional microphones for this unit at a later time if needed?

A: It will sync up with any smart phone - just has to have bluetooth capabilities (which all do). Wirelessly, you can only use the one microphone. But the XP106wDE also has 1/4 inch inputs and an xlr input so you could use additional wired microphones and/or instruments.

Q: 2. Do you wear the microphone on your head of around your neck?

A: The mic included in this kit is a Samson DE5 dual-ear headset, made to wear around the head. The two loops will support the headset on the user's ears.

Q: 3. How big is the actual Speaker?

A: Hello, Thank you for contacting Samson Technologies. This PA is 13.5 inches tall and 9 inches wide. If you have any other questions or inquiries, please let me know at any time. Best Regards, James

Q: 4. Can a bluetooth device beyond the headset connect to the speaker? For example, could it be connected to a bluetooth headphone set so that a student who is hard of hearing could have the sound directly into their ear while it was also broadcast over the speakers?

A: The Samson Expedition XP106wDE can play audio from Bluetooth devices, but it cannot send audio over Bluetooth to devices such as headphones. The included wireless microphone does not use Bluetooth, but rather a 2.4 GHz digital wireless connection similar to WiFi.

Q: 5. Can this be used with hands free mirophone that would attach to a lapel and not over the ear?

Q: 10. what is batter life and how long does it take to recharge?

A: The XP106 has an internal, rechargeable battery capable of up to 20 hours of continuous audio on a full charge. Even though the system may have some charge when first taken out of the box, we recommend fully charging your XP106 before first using the system. An overnight charge as with a cell phone should be fine. FYI, The XP106 utilizes a sealed lead-acid gel cell battery. When not in use, the battery will slowly self-discharge. If you are planning not to use the XP106 for a long period of time, it is advised to fully charge the unit before storing.It is also important to charge the unit every six months when not used. This will ensure a healthy battery and extend its life. If the battery is left with a very low charge for an extended period of time, it is possible to recharge thebattery to working condition, but the charge time can take over 24 hours.
