Samson AirLine

QuickStart

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 17 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 supplied receiver and AX1 or AL1 transmitter are factory preset to the same channel.

2.Physically place the receiver where it will be used (if desired, the AR1 receiver model can be wall-mounted using the supplied holder) and extend its antenna(s) 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 your audio system off and make the physical cable connection between the receiver’s balanced or unbalanced output jack

(if necessary, both can be used simultaneously) and a mic level audio input of your amplifier or mixer. If your system contains a UR1 or UM1 receiver, be sure to set its Audio Output Level switch correctly.

6.Turn the Volume, Level or AF Level knob on the receiver completely counterclockwise. Connect the supplied AC adapter to the receiver and plug it in (or place a fresh battery in the UM1 receiver), but leave its power off for the moment.

7.Turn on the receiver. If your system contains an AR1 or UR1 receiver, its “Power” LED will light steadily red. (Note: the UM1

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.
