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 for the AirLine systems is actually smaller than
the typical wireless transmitter.
There are five different Samson AirLine systems detailed in this manual. All operate in the 801 - 805 MHz UHF frequency range and
all contain either an AR1 micro receiver or a UR1 true diversity receiver (from our acclaimed Series One system). 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 transmitter, which contains a built-in electret condenser microphone and connection for an
optional lavalier microphone. 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. Finally,
the AirLine UHF Wind Instrument System combines the AH1 with an Audio-Technica Pro 35X horn 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
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.

Introduction
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 14 of
this manual, and the “Guided Tour”sections on pages 4 - 13 provide full descriptions of all AirLine component controls and displays.
1. Make sure that the supplied AR1 receiver and AX1, AL1 or AH1 transmitter are factory preset to the same channel.
2. Physically place the AR1 where it will be used (if desired, it can be wall-mounted using the supplied holder) and extend its antenna
vertically.
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
supplied 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. Turn the Volume knob on the AR1 completely counterclockwise. Connect the supplied AC adapter to the AR1 receiver and plug it
in, but leave its power off for the moment.
6. Turn your audio system off and make the physical cable connection between the AR1 balanced or unbalanced output jack
(if necessary, both can be used simultaneously) and a mic level audio input of your amplifier or mixer.
7. Turn on the AR1 receiver; its “Power/ RF”LED will light steadily red.

ENGLISH
8. Turn on your transmitter. The “Power/ RF”LED on the AR1 should change color from red to green, indicating that it is receiving
valid RF signal and is placed and positioned correctly.
9. Turn on your connected amplifier and/or mixer but keep its volume all the way down. If you are using an AL1 or AH1 transmitter,
make sure that it is unmuted. Set the Volume knob on the AR1 fully clockwise; this is unity gain. 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.
10. Speak or sing into your mic at a normal performance level while slowly raising the audio input control of your amplifier 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.
11. Do a walkaround through the intended area of coverage while observing the AR1’s “Power/RF”LED; it should be lit steadily green
in all areas of coverage. Reposition it (or its antenna) as necessary. If extended range coverage is required, a Samson UR1 true
diversity receiver (set to the same channel) can be substituted.
12. If you hear any spurious noise from the AR1 output when the transmitter is turned off, use the supplied plastic screwdriver to
adjust the AR1 Mute (squelch) level control, slowly turning it clockwise until the point at which the noise disappears.

QuickStart
ENGLISH
1: Antenna - This swivel mounting allows full rotation for
optimum placement of the antenna. In normal operation,
the antenna should be placed in a vertical position. It can
be folded inward for convenience when transporting the
AR1. See the “Setting Up and Using Your AirLine System”
section on page 14 in this manual for more information
about antenna positioning.
2: Power On / RF LED - This lights red whenever the AR1 is
powered on and green whenever the AR1 is receiving RF
signal from a transmitter.
3: Peak LED - This LED lights red when output signal from
the AR1 is at the onset of clipping (that is, when it is on the
verge of being distorted). If you see this light during
operation, move the microphone further away or lower the
volume level of your instrument or transmitter. For more
information, see the section entitled “Setting Up and Using
Your AirLine System”on page 14 in this manual.
4: Power switch - Move this switch in the direction of the
arrow to turn power to the AR1 on; move it away from the
arrow to turn power off.
5: Volume control - This knob sets the level of the audio
signal being output through both the AR1 balanced and
unbalanced output jacks (see #6 and #7 on the following
page). Reference level is obtained when the knob is turned
fully clockwise.

6: Unbalanced output* - Use this unbalanced high impedance
(5 - 10 K Ohm) 1/4" jack when connecting the AR1 to consumer
(-10) audio equipment. Wiring is as follows: tip hot, sleeve ground.
7: Balanced output* - Use this electronically balanced low
impedance (600 - 2500 Ohm) XLR jack when connecting the AR1
to professional (+4) audio equipment. Pin wiring is as follows:
Pin 1 ground, Pin 2 high (hot), and Pin 3 low (cold).
8: Mute (squelch) control -
This control determines the
maximum range of the AR1
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 14 in this manual for more information.
9: DC input - Connect the supplied 12 volt 200 mA power adapter here.
WARNING: Do not substitute any other kind of power adapter; doing so can cause
severe damage to the AR1 and will void your warranty.
As shown in the illustration on the left, the supplied AR1 receiver holder can be used to
wall-mount the AR1 in fixed installations.
* If required, both the balanced and unbalanced outputs can be used simultaneously.

1: XLR connector - Connect this standard female XLR connector
into any standard wired dynamic microphone in order to make it
a wireless mic.
2: Rubber gasket - If necessary, use this provided rubber gasket
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 conserve
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 14 in
this manual for more information.

1: Power / 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 14
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.
