Introduction

Welcome to Samson AirLine Synth—the next generation of wireless systems! Wireless 

microphone and instrument systems were originally developed to eliminate cables, 

providing unparalleled freedom of movement. AirLine Synth 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 frequency agile wireless transmitters, we developed new proprietary 

technology. Featuring miniaturized circuitry and the ability to operate on a single AA 

battery (with 10 hours typical battery life), these transmitters also provide significantly 

improved wireless reception and sound quality. What’s more, the AR300 receiver 

developed especially for the AirLine Synth guitar system provides an automatic 

Channel Scan function to help you find the clearest frequency to operate on. The 

convenient, all metal half-rack chassis design features a large backlit LCD display 

and includes the rackmount kit to install in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. 

The Samson AirLine Synth system is designed to replace the cable between your 

microphone and PA mixer, freeing you to roam the stage or even visit the audience in 

the middle of your performance!  It operates in the UHF frequency range and contains 

an AR300 “half-rack” receiver and the AL300 micro-transmitter beltpack with the 

included Samson SE10 earset miniature condenser, or Samson LM10 miniature lavalier.

In this manual, you’ll find a detailed description of the features of your AirLine Synth 

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 Synth 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 Synth system was purchased outside of the 

U. S., contact your local distributor for warranty details. Also, be sure to check out 

our website (http://www.samsontech.com) for complete information about our full 

product line.

SPECIAL NOTE for U.S. purchasers: Should your AirLine Synth system ever require 

servicing, a Return Authorization number (RA) is necessary. Without this number, 

the unit will not be accepted. If your AirLine Synth system was purchased in the United 

States, please call Samson at 1-800-372-6766 for a Return Authorization number prior 

to shipping your system. If possible, return the unit in its original carton and packing 

materials. If your AirLine Synth system was purchased outside of the U. S., contact your 

local distributor for information.
