Samson AH1/QE - Manual (Page 3)

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 three different Samson AirLine systems detailed in this manual. All operate in the 801 - 805 MHz UHF frequency range
and all contain 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 Performance System combines a feather-light AH1
headset transmitter with a Samson QV headset microphone, while the AirLine UHF Fitness System combines the AH1 with a Samson
QE headset microphone. The AirLine UHF Wind Instrument System combines the AH1 with an Audio-Technica Pro 35X horn
microphone. It is the first wireless system designed for brass and reed instruments that eliminates the need for a body pack and
unwieldy microphone cables that limit your movement.
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
