Samson AirLine

Setting Up and Using Your AirLine System

ENGLISH

AR1 or UR1 receiver and plug it in (the UM1 receiver can also operate off battery power or a 12 volt power supply from a connected

video camera), then plug the adapter into any standard AC outlet. Slide the Power switch in the direction of the arrow to turn on the

 

receiver. If your system contains an AR1 receiver, its “Power/ RF” LED will light steadily red; if your system contains a UR1 receiver, its “Power” LED will light steadily red. (Note: The UM1 receiver has no “Power” LED indicator.)

8. Turn on the power to your transmitter (using its Power on-off switch); the “Power/Battery” LED will flash if the battery is sufficiently strong (if it lights steadily, the battery has less than 2 hours of power remaining and should be replaced). If your system contains an AR1 receiver, its “Power/ RF” LED on the receiver should change color from red to green, indicating that it is receiving valid RF signal and is placed and positioned correctly. If your system contains either a UR1 or UM1 receiver, one of the “A/B Receiver” LEDs will light, showing you whether the (left) “A” or (right) “B” receiver is currently being used. The UR1 / UM1 meter will also indicate the

strength of the incoming RF signal.

9.Now it’s time to set the audio levels. Turn on your connected amplifier and/or mixer but keep its volume all the way down. If you are using an AL1 transmitter, make sure that it is unmuted (its Mute switch should be positioned away from the arrrow). Then set the Volume, Level or AF Level knob on the

receiver fully clockwise; this is unity gain. If you are using an AL1 transmitter with the built-in microphone, note that correct placement is critical to sound quality. We recommend that you place it as shown in the illustrations on this page— unobstructed by clothing and either clipped to a

shirt pocket or lapel, or worn around the neck on the supplied lanyard.

On the other hand, the QL5 embodies the cutting-edge of digital mixing technology. Designed for both live and studio applications, the QL5 is a compact digital mixer that boasts 32 input channels and 16 mix buses, providing immense flexibility for sound engineers. One of the standout features is its intuitive touchscreen interface that simplifies navigation through complex mixing tasks, making it user-friendly even for those new to digital mixing.

The QL5 is equipped with a variety of premium effects processors, including reverb, delay, and compression, enabling users to enhance their mixes with professional-grade sound quality. Additionally, the onboard Dugan automixer facilitates automatic gain control, significantly reducing the need for manual adjustments during live events, thus streamlining the workflow.

Connectivity is another key aspect of the QL5, incorporating a range of I/O options, including USB, Dante, and ADAT interfaces for interoperability with other digital audio devices. The QL5's integration with the QL stage box further expands its capability for multi-channel recording and live sound reinforcement.
