Samson AirLine
Welcome to Samson AirLine—the wireless system for the new millennium! 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 provide significantly improved wireless reception and
sound quality. What’s more, the AP1 receiver developed especially for the AirLine guitar system is actually smaller than the typical wireless
transmitter.
The Samson AirLine UHF guitar system detailed in this manual is designed to replace the cable between your electric guitar or bass and
your onstage amplifier or PA mixer, freeing you to roam the stage or even visit the audience in the middle of your performance! It operates
in the uncrowded 801 - 805 MHz UHF frequency range and contains an AP1 “stomp box”-style receiver and either of two plug-in micro-
transmitter models—an AF1 (designed to fit the recessed style jack in Fender Stratocaster™-type guitars) or an AG1 (which fits all other
standard end-mount guitar jacks).
In this manual, you’ll find a more detailed description of the features of your AirLine system, as well as a guided tour through all compo-
nents, step-by-step instructions for setting up and using 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 website (http://www.sam-
sontech.com) for complete information about our full product line.
SPECIAL NOTE for U.S. purchasers: Should your AirLine system ever require servicing, a Return Authorization number (RA) is necessary.
Without this number, the unit will not be accepted. If your AirLine system was purchased in the United States, please call Samson at 1-800-
372-6766 for a Return Authorization number prior to shipping your system. If possible, return the unit in its original carton and packing
materials. If your AirLine system was purchased outside of the U. S., contact your local distributor for information.

Introduction
ENGLISH
If you’ve had some prior experience using wireless systems, these QuickStart instructions will get you up and running with your AirLine
UHF guitar system in a matter of minutes! Detailed instructions for setting up and using your AirLine system can be found on page 12 of
this manual, and the “Guided Tour” sections on pages 4 - 11 provide full descriptions of all AirLine component controls and displays.
1. Make sure that the supplied AP1 receiver and AF1 or AG1 transmitter are factory preset to the same channel.
2. Physically place the AP1 receiver on the ground in front of you. Extend its antennas vertically and spread the tips horizontally outwards
approximately 5 inches.
3. Set the power switch on your AF1 or AG1 transmitter to the “off” position (away from the arrow) and place a fresh AAA battery in it. Then
turn the transmitter back on momentarily; its LED will flash once and then go off if the battery is sufficiently strong. Once battery strength is
verified, turn the transmitter off again, then plug it into your electric guitar or bass.
4. Open the battery compartment of the AP1 by pressing on the latch and install a fresh battery; if you prefer, you can use an optional
power supply instead. Turn the AP1 on momentarily to confirm that the battery has been installed correctly (or that the adapter has been
connected correctly); the “On/Battery Low” LED should light green and not red. Then turn the AP1 power off.
5. Turn your amplifier or mixer off and make the physical cable connection between an audio input and the AP1 output jack.
6. Turn the Level knob on the AP1 completely counterclockwise, then turn its power on; the “Power” LED will light steadily green.
7. Turn on your AF1 or AG1 transmitter. The “TX/Peak” LED on the AP1 receiver should light steadily green, indicating that it is receiving
valid RF signal and is placed and positioned correctly.

8. Turn on the connected amplifier or mixer but keep its volume all the way down. Set the output level of your instrument to maximum
and begin playing at a normal performance level while observing the AP1 “TX/Peak” LED. If the LED lights red (indicating a Peak condition)
even with the AP1 Level control fully counterclockwise, engage the 15 dB pad on the transmitter. If not, slowly turn the Level control clock-
wise to the point where the “TX/Peak” LED occasionally blinks red during the very loudest passages, then back it off just slightly. Finally,
raise the level of your connected amplifier and/or mixer until the desired volume is reached.
9. Do a walkaround through the intended area of coverage while observing the receiver’s “TX/Peak” LED; it should continue to be lit steadily
green, indicating sufficient RF reception in all areas of coverage. If not, reposition the AP1 or its antennas as necessary.
10. If you hear any spurious noise from the receiver output when the transmitter is turned off, use the supplied plastic screwdriver to adjust
the AP1 Squelch control, slowly turning it clockwise to the point at which the noise disappears.

QuickStart
ENGLISH
1: Power switch - Move this switch in the direction of the arrow to turn
power to the AP1 on; move it away from the arrow to turn power off. (A
jack must be inserted into the input connector for the receiver to power up.)
2: Power On / Battery Low LED - This LED lights green whenever the AP1
is powered on and it lights red whenever the battery in the AP1 is running
low. In order to avoid compromising audio fidelity (or having the AP1 stop
working completely), you should always replace the battery with a fresh
one immediately whenever this LED lights red.
3: TX / Peak LED - This LED lights green whenever the AP1 is receiving
RF signal from a transmitter and it lights red when output signal from the
AP1 is at the onset of clipping (that is, when it is on the verge of being
distorted). If you see this light during operation, lower the volume level of
your instrument or switch on the transmitter’s 15 dB pad. For more infor-
mation, see the section entitled “Setting Up and Using Your AirLine System”
on page 12 in this manual.
4: Level control - This knob sets the level of the audio signal being out-
put through the AP1 output jack (see #9 on page 6). When using an elec-
tric guitar or bass with an active or high-level pickup, set the knob in the
marked area. For more information, see the section entitled “Setting Up
and Using Your AirLine System” on page 12 in this manual.

5: Antennas - Swivel mounting allows full rotation for optimum positioning of the
dual AP1 antennas. In normal operation, extend both antennas vertically and spread
the tips horizontally outwards approximately 5 inches. For convenience, they can be
folded inward when transporting the AP1. See the “Setting Up and Using Your AirLine
System” section on page 12 in this manual for more information about antenna posi-
tioning.
6: Battery compartment latch - Press gently on this latch to open the AP1 battery
compartment (see #7 below).
7: Battery compartment - Insert a standard 9-volt alkaline battery here, being sure
to observe the plus and minus polarity markings shown. We recommend the Duracell
MN 1604 type battery. Although rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries can be used, they do
not supply adequate current for more than four hours.
WARNING: Do not insert the battery backwards; doing so can cause severe damage
to the AP1 and will void your warranty. Note that the AP1 can also be AC powered
with the use of an optional 12 volt adapter available from your Samson dealer (see #10
on the following page).
8: Plastic screwdriver - Specially designed for use in adjusting the AP1 Squelch
control (see #11 on the following page). See the “Setting Up and Using Your AirLine
System” section on page 12 in this manual for more information.

9: Output jack - Use this standard unbalanced high impedance
(5 - 10 K Ohm) 1/4" jack to connect the AP1 to your amplifier or
audio mixer. Wiring is as follows: tip hot, sleeve ground.
10: DC input - Connect an optional 12 volt 200 mA power
adapter (available from your Samson dealer) here.
WARNING: Do not substitute any other kind of power adapter;
doing so can cause severe damage to the AP1 and will void your
warranty. Note that the AP1 can also be battery powered (see
#7 on the previous page and the “Setting Up and Using Your
AirLine System” section on page 12 in this manual).
11: Squelch control - This control determines the maximum
range of the AP1 before audio signal dropout. Although it can
be adjusted using the supplied plastic screwdriver, it should
normally be left at its factory setting. See the “Setting Up and
Using Your AirLine System” section on page 12 in this manual for
more information.

1: Antennas (A and B) - The anten-
na mountings allow full rotation
for optimum placement. In normal
operation, both Antenna A (the
antenna on the left) and Antenna
B (the antenna on the right) should
be placed in a vertical position.
Both antennas can be folded inward
for convenience when transporting
the CR77. See the “Setting Up and
Using the AirLine System” section on
page 12 in this manual for informa-
tion about antenna installation and
positioning.
2: Volume control - This knob sets
the level of the audio signal being output through both the balanced and unbalanced output jacks on the rear panel (see #2 and #4 on
page 9 in this manual). Reference level is obtained when the knob is turned fully clockwise (to its “10” setting).
3: Audio Meter - - This “ladder” display (similar to the VU bar meter used on audio devices) indicates the strength of the incoming audio
signal. When the “0” segment is lit, the incoming signal is optimized at unity gain; when the “+6” segment is lit, the signal is overloading.
When only the left-most “-20” segment is lit, the incoming signal is at just 10% of optimum strength. If no segments are lit, little or no signal
is being received. See the “Setting Up and the AirLine System” section on page 12 in this manual for more information.

4: Squelch control - This control determines the maximum range of the CR77 before audio signal dropout. Although it can be adjusted
using the supplied plastic screwdriver, it should normally be left at its factory setting. See the “Setting Up and Using the AirLine System”
section on page 12 in this manual for more information.
5: A/B Receiver LEDs - When signal is being received, one of these will be lit green, showing you whether the (left) “A” or (right) “B” receiver
is currently being used. The CR77 constantly scans its two antennas and automatically selects whichever is receiving the strongest, clearest
signal. This True Diversity switching is completely inaudible, but it effectively increases overall range while virtually eliminating potential
interference and phase cancellation problems.
6: RF (Radio Frequency) Level meter - This “ladder” display (similar to the VU bar meter used on audio devices) indicates the strength of
the incoming radio signal. When the “100%” segment is lit, the incoming RF signal is fully modulated and at optimum strength. When only
the second most left-most “10%” segment is lit, the incoming signal is at just 10% of optimum strength. If no segments are lit, little or no
signal is being received. See the “Setting Up and Using the AirLine System” section on page 12 in this manual for more information.
8: Power switch - Use this to turn the CR77 power on and off. When the receiver is on, the internal Power LED is lit.
