Introduction / System Features
Congratulations on purchasing the Samson UHF Series One Wireless System! Although
this product is designed for easy operation, we suggest you first take some time to go
through these pages so you can fully understand how we've implemented a number of
unique features.
Every wireless system consists of at least two components—a transmitter and a receiver,
both of which must be tuned to the same channel (that is, the same radio frequency) in
order to operate correctly.* The Samson UHF Series One system you have purchased
operates in the 801 - 805 MHz frequency range and contains a UR1 receiver and either
our UT1L belt-pack transmitter (for lavalier microphone or headset applications), UT1G
belt-pack transmitter (for instrument applications) or UH1 hand-held microphone
transmitter (available in a wide variety of popular capsules).
In this manual, you'll find a more detailed description of the features of the UHF Series One
system, as well as a guided tour through all components, step-by-step instructions for
setting up your system, wiring diagrams and tables, and full specifications. If your UHF
Series One system was purchased in the United States, you'll also find a warranty card
enclosed—don't forget to fill it out and mail it! This will enable you to receive online
technical support and will allow us to send you updated information about this and other
Samson products in the future. If your UHF Series One system was purchased outside of
the U. S., contact your local distributor for warranty details.
SPECIAL NOTE for U.S. purchasers: Should your UHF Series One system ever require
servicing, a Return Authorization number (RA) is necessary. Without this number, the unit
will not be accepted. If your UHF Series One system was purchased in the United States,
please call Samson at 1-800-372-6766 for a Return Authorization number prior to shipping
your unit. If possible, return the unit in its original carton and packing materials. If your
UHF Series One system was purchased outside of the U. S., contact your local distributor
for servicing information.
* Your receiver and transmitter have been factory preset to utilize the same channel.
A listing of the six available channels and their corresponding UHF frequencies can be
found on page 4 of this manual.
System Features
Designed for use in both live sound and sound contracting applications, the Samson UHF
Series One Wireless System provides a high performance, cost effective solution, utilizing
state-of-the-art technology in wireless communications. Main features include:
• Six different available channels, all operating in the less crowded UHF bandwidth, and all
designed for simultaneous use. This means that you can use multiple Series One
systems (each tuned to a different channel) in the same location without interference.
• Technological breakthrough usage of SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) filters (similar to
those used in high-end television receivers) for extremely precise and stable tuning.
• True Diversity technology maximizes active range (up to 300 feet) and reduces potential
interference problems through automatic switching between two independent receivers.
