Introduction
Samson AirLine
Welcome to Samson AirLine—the wireless system for the new millenium! Wireless microphone and instrument systems were
originally developed to eliminate cables, providing unparalleled freedom of movement. AirLine takes this concept to a new level with
transmitters so small, lightweight and aerodynamic, they are nearly invisible, providing a completely "hassle-free" user experience.
To create the world's smallest wireless transmitters, we developed new proprietary technology. Featuring miniaturized circuitry and the
ability to operate on a single tiny AAA battery (with 14 hours typical battery life), these transmitters also feature significantly improved
wireless reception and sound quality. What's more, the AR1 micro receiver developed especially for the AirLine system is actually
smaller than the typical wireless transmitter.
There are two different Samson AirLine systems detailed in this manual. Both operate in the 801 - 805 MHz UHF frequency range
and each contains an AR1 micro receiver or one of the receivers from our acclaimed Series One system—either a UR1 true diversity
receiver (for professional performance applications) or a UM1 micro diversity receiver (optimized for the production of professional
audio tracks to accompany your video shoot or live broadcast). The AirLine UHF Microphone System contains an AX1 hand-held
transmitter, which plugs into any standard wired dynamic microphone. The AirLine UHF Presentation System contains an AL1
pre-
sentation transmitter, which contains a built-in electret condenser microphone and connection for an optional lavalier microphone.
In this manual, you'll find a more detailed description of the features of all AirLine systems, as well as a guided tour through all
components, step-by-step instructions for setting up your system and full specifications. If your AirLine 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
AirLine system was purchased outside of the U. S., contact your local distributor for warranty details. Also, be sure to check out our
