Introduction
Samson AirLine
Welcome to Samson AirLine—the wireless system for the new millennium! Wireless microphone and instrument systems were
originally developed to eliminate cables, providing unparalleled freedom of movement. AirLine takes this concept to a new level with
transmitters so small, lightweight and aerodynamic, they are nearly invisible, providing a completely "hassle-free" user experience.
To create the world's smallest wireless transmitters, we developed new proprietary technology. Featuring miniaturized circuitry and the
ability to operate on a single tiny AAA battery (with 14 hours typical battery life), these transmitters also provide significantly improved
wireless reception and sound quality. What's more, the AP1 receiver developed especially for the AirLine guitar system is actually
smaller than the typical wireless transmitter.
The Samson AirLine UHF guitar system detailed in this manual is designed to replace the cable between your electric guitar or bass
and your onstage amplifier or PA mixer, freeing you to roam the stage or even visit the audience in the middle of your performance!
It operates in the uncrowded 801 – 805, 863 – 865 MHz UHF frequency range and contains an AP1 "stomp box"-style receiver and
either of two plug-in micro-transmitter models—an AF1 (designed to fit the recessed style jack in Fender Stratocaster™-type guitars) or
an AG1 (which fits all other standard end-mount guitar jacks).
In this manual, you'll find a more detailed description of the features of your AirLine system, as well as a guided tour through all
components, step-by-step instructions for setting up and using your system and full specifications. If your AirLine system was
purchased in the United States, 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 this and other Samson products in the
future. If your AirLine system was purchased outside of the U. S., contact your local distributor for warranty details. Also, be sure to
