Introduction

The concept behind a “true diversity” wireless system is that a single chassis houses two discrete receivers (called “channel A” and “channel B”) instead of one, with both tuned to the same frequency but with each using an independent antenna. A built-in computer chip then continu- ously scans the two receivers and determines which one has the clear- est and strongest reception, automatically (and silently) switching to that channel. This allows you to maintain the wireless communication link over a much broader area range than would be allowed by a single receiver and also virtually eliminates interference and phase cancella- tion problems. In addition, our special circuitry, which utilizes the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band, delivers the highest-quality sound available in any wireless system. Finally, the provision of dbx® noise reduction* produces crystal-clear sound with minimized background noise and hiss. Your UHF Synthesized True Diversity System may also optionally include a DA-5L UHF Antenna Distribution Amplifier. For more information on this device, see pages 28 - 33.

In this manual, you’ll find a more detailed description of the features of this system, as well as a guided tour through all components, step-by- step instructions for setting up your system, trouble-shooting tips, wiring diagrams and tables, a glossary of terms, and full specifications. 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 these and other Samson prod- ucts in the future.

SPECIAL NOTE: Should any component of your UHF Synthesized True Diversity Wireless System ever require servicing, a Return Authorization number (RA) is necessary. Without this number, the unit will not be accepted. Please call Samson at 1-800-372-6766 for a Return Authorization number prior to shipping your unit.
