Samson AirLine
The basic procedure for setting up and using your AirLine System takes only a few minutes:
1. For your AirLine system to work correctly, both the receiver and transmitter must be set to the same channel. Remove all packing
materials (save them in case of need for future service) and check to make sure that the supplied receiver and transmitter are set to the
same channel (a complete channel plan is printed on the inside back cover of this manual). If these channels do not match, contact
your distributor or, if purchased in the United States, Samson Technical Support at 1-800-372-6766.
2. Physically place the receiver where it will be used (the general rule of thumb is to maintain “line of sight” between the receiver and
transmitter so that the person using or wearing the transmitter can see the receiver). The AR1 can be mounted on a wall if desired,
using the supplied wall mount holder. The UR1 can be rack-mounted if desired (taking a half-rack space), using an optional Samson
adapter kit. The UM1 can be mounted to a video camera using the supplied velcro.
3. Extend the receiver antenna(s) and place it (them) in a vertical position. Make sure the Power on-off switch in your AH1
transmitter is set to “Off.”
4. Gently pry off the battery cover off the AH1 transmitter and slide it upwards and off to open the battery compartment. Please use
care when opening this cover as undue force will destroy the hinge.
5. Place a fresh AAA alkaline battery in the transmitter battery compartment, taking care to observe the polarity markings. Then
replace the battery cover and gently press down on it until it clicks. Leave the AH1 off for the moment.
6. Make the physical cable connection between the receiver output jack and a mic level audio input of your amplifier or mixer.
The balanced XLR jack is preferable, since it will deliver an electromagnetically cleaner signal. If required, both the balanced and
unbalanced outputs can be used simultaneously. If your system contains a UR1 or UM1 receiver, be sure to set its Audio Output Level
switch correctly (see pages 8 and 10 for details). Leave your amplifier (and/or mixer) off at this time.
7. Turn the Volume, Level or AF Level knob on the receiver completely counterclockwise. Connect the supplied AC adapter to the
AR1 or UR1 receiver and plug it in (the UM1 receiver can also operate off battery power or a 12 volt power supply from a connected
