Introduction Samson AirLine
1
ENGLISH
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 and receivers so small, lightweight and aerodynamic, they are nearly invisible, providing a completely “hassle-free”user
experience. To create the world’s smallest wireless systems, 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 systems also feature significantly
improved wireless reception and sound quality. What’s more, the AM1 micro receiver developed especially for the AirLine system is as
small as the AL1 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 AM1 micro receiver. 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 presentation 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 com-
ponents, 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 website
(http://www.samsontech.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.
Quick Start
Samson AirLine

ENGLISH
If you’ve had some prior experience using wireless systems, these QuickStart instructions will get you up and running with your
AirLine system in a matter of minutes! Detailed instructions for setting up and using your AirLine system can be found on page 11 of
this manual, and the “Guided Tour”sections on pages 4 - 16 provide full descriptions of all AirLine component controls and displays.
1. Make sure that the AM1 receiver and AX1 and/or AL1 transmitter are factory preset to the same channel.
2. Place a fresh battery in the AM1 receiver. Place the receiver where it will be used. The AM1 receiver can be mounted to the hot
shoe of the camera, clipped with the supplied clip or fastened by the use of the supplied velcro.
3. Set the power switch to your transmitter to the “off”position (away from the arrow) and place a fresh 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.
4. If you are using an AX1, plug its XLR connector into a wired dynamic microphone; make a good tight connection, using the sup-
plied rubber gasket if necessary. If you are using the AL1 with an external lavalier microphone, make the physical connection
between its input connector and the microphone.
5. Make the physical cable connection between the AM1 receiver’s 2.5mm stereo output jack and audio input of your camera or
mixer using the supplied 2.5mm to 3.5mm SMM14 cable (see wiring diagram on page 19 for options).
6. Select the correct gain by using the MIC/LINE switch on the AM1 receiver to match the input of your camera or mixer.

7. Turn on the receiver. The POWER/BATTERY LED will light momentarily indicating the power has been turned on.
8. Turn on your transmitter. The audio signal can be monitored through the 3.5mm stereo headphone output and headphone volume
can be adjusted via the headphone level trim pot with the supplied plastic screwdriver.
9. Turn on your camera or mixer but keep its volume all the way down. If your system contains an AL1 transmitter, make sure it is
unmuted. Set the Volume, Level or AF Level knob on the receiver fully clockwise; this is unity gain.
10. Speak or sing into your mic at a normal performance level while slowly raising the audio input control of your camera (if you
have one) or mixer until the desired level is reached. If necessary, use the supplied plastic screwdriver to adjust the transmitter’s
Gain trimpot in order to increase or decrease its signal level. If you are using an AL1 transmitter with the built-in microphone,
correct placement is critical to sound quality. It should be unobstructed by clothing and either clipped to a shirt pocket or lapel,
or worn around the neck on the supplied lanyard.
11. Do a walkaround through the intended area of coverage while monitoring the audio signal via the AM1 receiver headphone out-
put or input level meter (if one is available).

1: Multi-color LED - The LED will flash red momentarily when the power is switched on and a
charged battery is in place. It will light continuously red when battery is low and needs to be
replaced. When the AM1 is receiving RF the LED will light green. The LED will appear orange
when any combination of these events cause the LED to light green and red simultaneously.
2: Headphone Output - This 3.5mm headphone level output jack can be used to monitor
audio signal.
3: Audio Output - This 2.5mm jack will accept the supplied 2.5mm to 3.5mm stereo SMM14
cable and send the audio signal to the camera or mixer input (see #5 below to set the
correct output level; see wiring diagram on page 19 for options).
4: Headphone Level Trimpot - Use this to adjust the volume
routed to the Headphone Output.
5: Line/Mic Switch - This switch will set the correct signal level at
the Audio Output jack. Set the switch to Line when connecting
the output to a line level input as on a mixer. Set the switch to
Mic when connecting to Mic level input as on a camera.
(Check your equipment manuals for correct gain structure)
6: Power Switch - Switches the Power on and off. The LED on the
front of the AM1 receiver will light momentarily when
switched on. (see #1 above)

7: Hot Shoe Clip/Belt Clip - The AM1 is shipped with
the Belt Clip mounted to the rear of the receiver. The
hot shoe clip (included with hardware) can be fixed
to the rear of the AM1 to mount the receiver to the
hot shoe of your camera. To fasten the hot shoe clip
to the receiver, first remove the phillips head screw
and belt clip, then secure the hot shoe clip with the
supplied phillips head screw.
8: Battery Compartment - Insert a standard AAA alka-
line battery here, being sure to observe the plus and
minus polarity markings shown.
WARNING: Do not insert the battery
backwards; doing so can cause severe
damage to the AM1 and will void your
warranty.
9: Antenna - Receives RF signal from
the transmitter. Once you have
selected the placement of the
receiver the antenna should be
turned to be in a vertical position
for optimum reception.

in order to make a solid connection between the AX1 XLR
connector and your microphone (note that not all microphones
require its use).
3: Power on-off switch - Move this switch in the direction of
the arrow to turn power to the AX1 on; move it away from the
arrow to turn power off. (to con-
serve battery power, be sure to
turn the AX1 off when not in use).
Be sure to mute the audio signal at
your external mixer or amplifier
before turning the AX1 power on or
off, or an audible pop may result.
4: Power / Battery LED - This LED
flashes once when the AX1 is first
turned on and lights steadily red
when there is less than 2 hours of
battery power remaining, indicating
that the battery needs to be changed.

5: Battery compartment - Insert a standard AAA alkaline battery here,
being sure to observe the plus and minus polarity markings shown. We
recommend the Duracell 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 AX1 and will void your warranty.
6: Microphone Input Level control (trimpot) - Use the supplied plastic
screwdriver to raise or lower the input level sensitivity of the AX1 as required.
See the “Setting Up and Using Your AirLine System”section on page 11 in this
manual for more information.

1: Power On/RF/ Battery LED - This LED flashes once when the AL1 is first turned on and
lights steadily red when there is less than 2 hours of battery power remaining, indicating that
the battery needs to be changed.
2: Antenna - This permanently attached flexible antenna should be fully extended during
normal operations. See the “Setting Up and Using Your AirLine System”section on page 11
in this manual for more information about antenna positioning.
3: Electret condenser microphone - This high- quality unidirectional electret condenser
microphone with metal windscreen is optimized for clear, crisp reproduction of speech. It
is active whenever the AL1 is powered on, as long as there is no connection made to the
lavalier microphone input connector (see #4 below). When a plug is inserted into the
lavalier microphone input connector, this built-in microphone is muted.
4: Lavalier microphone input connector - Use this
standard 2.5 mm mini-jack if you want to connect
an external lavalier microphone to the AL1.
Note that, because the AL1 has a built-in electret
condenser microphone (see #3 above), the use of an
external lavalier mic is optional and not required.
The AL1 provides 2.7V of phantom power, so
condenser mics can be used if desired.
