Quickstart - Samson Airline AX1 Owner's Manual

Samson AirLine
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.
