Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Samson Stage 5 Series Wireless System! Although this product
is designed for easy operation, we suggest you first take some time to go through these pages so
you can fully understand how we’ve implemented a number of unique features.
Every wireless system consists of at least two components—a transmitter and a receiver, both
of which must be tuned to the same channel (that is, the same radio frequency) in order to
operate correctly.* The Samson Stage 5 Series system you have purchased operates in the 174.6
- 213.2 MHz frequency range and contains a SR5 receiver as well as a HT5 hand-held microphone
transmitter. The HT5 hand-held microphone transmitter is equipped with the Samson H5 dynamic
microphone element, and thanks to the unidirectional pick up pattern, feedback problems are
greatly reduced.
* Your receiver and transmitter have been factory preset to utilize the same channel.
The SR5 receiver provided with the STAGE 5 Series wireless system utilizes crystal controlled, PLL
(Phase Lock Loop), Single Conversion Superheterodyne circuity for clear and reliable reception.
The antenna has been specially designed and tuned for the specified frequency band. Finally, the
provision of a noise reduction circuit produces crystal-clear sound with minimized background
noise and hiss.
In this manual, you’ll find a detailed description of the features of your Stage 5 Series 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 Stage 5 Series 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 other Samson products in the future. If your Stage 5 Series system was purchased outside of
the United States, please contact your local distributor for warranty details.
