Setting Up and Using Your AirLine System Samson AirLine

10.Speak or sing into your mic at a normal performance level while slowly raising the volume of your amplifier and/or mixer until the desired level is reached. The UM1 receiver allows you to monitor the transmission signal using standard Walkman-type 30 ohm headphones connected to its headphone jack. Note that Unidirectional microphones (mics which pick up signal from just one direction) such as the built-in AL1 electret condenser are less prone to feedback than other types of mics. Any feedback problems you

encounter can be minimized by being sure not to use the microphone directly in front of a PA speaker or by using an equalizer to attenuate (reduce) those high- or mid-range frequencies which are causing the feedback “squealing”.

11.If you hear distortion at the desired volume level, first check to see whether the “Peak” LED on the receiver is lit. If it is not lit, make sure that the gain structure of your audio system is correctly set (consult the owners manual of your mixer and/or amplifier for details). If the red “Peak” LED is lit, do the following:

•If you are using an AX1 transmitter, use the supplied plastic screwdriver to turn its Microphone Input Level control (trimpot) slowly counterclockwise (towards the “Min” position) until the distortion disappears.

•If you are using an AL1 transmitter with its internal electret condenser microphone, simply move the microphone further from your mouth. If you are using an AL1 with an external lavalier microphone, use the supplied plastic screwdriver to turn the Gain control (trimpot) slowly counterclockwise until the distortion disappears.

12.Conversely, if you hear a weak, noisy signal at the desired volume level, again make sure that the gain structure of your audio system is correctly set (consult the owners manual of your mixer and/or amplifier for details) and that the Volume control of the receiver is fully clockwise. If it is lit and the signal coming from the receiver is still weak and/or noisy, do the following:

•If you are using an AX1 transmitter, use the supplied plastic screwdriver to turn its Microphone Input Level control (trimpot) slowly clockwise (towards the “Max” position) until the signal reaches an acceptable level.

•If you are using an AL1 transmitter with its internal electret condenser microphone, simply position the microphone closer to your mouth. If you are using an AL1 with an external lavalier microphone, use the supplied plastic screwdriver to turn the Gain control (trimpot) slowly clockwise until the signal reaches an acceptable level.

The Samson AL1 and QL5 are two advanced offerings from Samson Technologies, a company renowned for its commitment to innovation in the audio industry. The AL1, a lightweight and portable active speaker, is designed for versatility and high sound quality, making it perfect for various applications—ranging from live performances to mobile DJ setups.

The AL1 features a powerful 200-watt peak power amplifier, delivering clear and dynamic sound even in challenging acoustic environments. Complemented by a 10-inch woofer and a high-frequency 1-inch compression driver, the speaker provides an impressive frequency response that enhances low-end depth alongside crisp high frequencies. Its built-in limiter ensures the system maintains clarity without distortion at high volumes.

Portability is a key characteristic of the AL1. With a rugged, molded plastic enclosure, the speaker is lightweight and easy to transport, equipped with carrying handles for added convenience. Additionally, it offers multiple input options, including XLR and 1/4-inch TRS, allowing it to connect seamlessly with microphones, instruments, or other audio sources.

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.

In conclusion, both the Samson AL1 and QL5 represent the brand’s dedication to delivering high-quality audio solutions equipped with advanced features and technologies. Perfectly suited for a range of audio applications, these products exemplify the balance between versatility, portability, and professional sound quality, making them essential tools for anyone serious about delivering exceptional audio experiences.
