1:Audio on-off switch - When set to the “on” position, audio signal is transmitted. When set to the “off” position, the audio signal is muted. Because the carrier signal remains during muting, no “pop” or “thud” will be heard. Note that turning this off does not turn off the transmitter power— it is simply a way to temporarily mute the transmission of audio signal. If you don’t plan on using the VH3 for extended periods, turn off its power by using the power on-off switch (see #3 below).

2:Battery level meter - This set of three multicolor LEDs indicates relative battery power, indicating whether the installed battery is at low (red), mid (yellow) or high (green) strength.

One or more of these will light whenever the VH3 is powered on (see #3 below). When all three are lit, the battery is at maximum strength. When only the red “low” indicator lights, RF performance is degraded and the battery needs to be replaced.

3:Power on-off switch* - Use this to turn the VH3 on or off (to conserve battery power, be sure

to leave it off when not in use).

4: Gain control (trimpot) - This input sensitivity

control has been factory preset to provide optimum level for the particular microphone capsule provided with your VM1 system and so we recommend that this not be adjusted manually. If necessary, however, you can use the supplied plastic screwdriver to raise or lower the input level. See the “Setting Up and Using Your VM1 System” section on page 8 in this manual for more information.

5:Battery holder - Insert a standard 9-volt alkaline battery here, being sure to observe the plus and minus polarity markings shown. We recommend the Duracell MN 1604 type battery. Although rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries can be used, they do not supply adequate current for more than four hours. WARNING: Do not insert the battery backwards; doing so can cause severe damage to the VH3 and will void your warranty.

*Be sure to mute the audio signal at your external mixer or amplifier before turning transmitter power on or off, or an audible pop may result.

VHF Micro TRUE DIVERSITY WIRELESS specifications

The Samson VHF Micro True Diversity Wireless system is designed to meet the needs of performers, presenters, and content creators who demand reliability and high-quality audio transmission in a compact package. This system emphasizes ease of use, advanced features, and robust performance, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications, including live performances, public speaking events, and educational settings.

One of the standout features of the Samson VHF Micro is its True Diversity technology. This system employs two antennas and two receivers to ensure a consistent signal and minimize dropouts. The True Diversity design allows for seamless switching between the two receivers, thus enhancing the reliability of audio transmission. This is particularly important in environments with numerous wireless devices, where interference can disrupt performance.

The VHF Micro operates within the VHF frequency band, which provides a stable signal over longer distances compared to UHF systems. It is less prone to interference from common electronic devices, making it a dependable choice for users in various settings. It is also equipped with frequency agile technology, allowing users to select from multiple channels to find the best available frequency for their environment.

The system includes a lightweight bodypack transmitter, which can be easily clipped onto clothing, allowing for hands-free operation. Additionally, the system comes with a handheld microphone option, catering to performers who prefer a traditional mic setup. Both transmitting options ensure clear and natural audio reproduction, enhancing the overall performance experience.

Another innovative characteristic of the Samson VHF Micro is its user-friendly interface. The receiver features simple controls that make it easy to set up and operate, even for those without extensive technical knowledge. LED indicators provide real-time feedback on power, audio signal strength, and battery life, allowing users to monitor their equipment quickly.

Battery life is commendable, enabling extended use without frequent replacements. The system typically uses AA batteries, which are widely available and easy to replace, ensuring that users can maintain reliable operation during long events.

In summary, the Samson VHF Micro True Diversity Wireless system is a versatile and powerful audio solution featuring True Diversity technology, frequency agility, and user-friendly operation. Its reliable performance and flexible configurations cater to a range of applications, ensuring that users receive high-quality sound transmission wherever they go.
