Samson DC310 Cover for Expedition XP310w Portable PA with Microphone and Cable Pouch
The DC310 is Samson's own cover for the Expedition XP310w rechargeable portable PA. It is a simple piece of kit with a simple job: keep the speaker covered between events, and keep the small parts that go with it from ending up somewhere else.
- Made for the XP310w: Samson lists this cover for the Expedition XP310w, so it is specified for that cabinet rather than being a generic sleeve.
- Pouch for microphones and cables: the mic, the lead and the accessories travel with the speaker instead of in a separate bag.
- Premium cover: Samson's own description of the DC310.
- One item to carry: covering the PA and holding its accessories in the same place means one thing to load and one thing to unload.
A portable PA earns its money by going places, which is also how it picks up scuffs and dust. If the XP310w is already doing regular work at events, classes or functions, a cover made for it is a sensible thing to have on the shelf next to it.
The DC310 is Samson's cover for the Expedition XP310w rechargeable portable PA, with a pouch for the microphones and cables that travel alongside it.
Made for the XP310w
A cover only really earns its place when it is made for the exact cabinet it has to protect, and Samson lists the DC310 for the Expedition XP310w. Samson calls it a premium cover. It is the accessory the manufacturer intends you to pair with that speaker, which takes the guesswork out of ordering something close enough.
The pouch is the useful part
The DC310 includes a pouch for microphones and cables, and on a busy schedule that is the detail that matters most. The handheld mic, the lead and the odd adapter stay with the speaker rather than living in a separate bag that gets left in the office or in someone else's car. When the PA becomes a single item to pick up, the setup at the other end is quicker and nothing important goes missing along the way.
Why cover a portable PA at all
Portable systems live a harder life than anything that stays in a rack. They ride in car boots, sit on function room floors, get carried through kitchens and service corridors, and then spend the weeks in between in a store cupboard collecting dust. A cover takes the knocks and the dust instead of the cabinet, the grille and the top panel, and it keeps the PA from rubbing against everything else in the load.
Worth having on the shelf
If the XP310w is already out working regularly at events, classes, briefings or fitness sessions, protecting it between jobs is a small thing that pays off over the life of the speaker. Buy it with the PA, or add it once the calendar starts filling up.
