Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Samson Micro 32 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 Micro 32 system is frequency-agile; that is, it is
capable of operating over any of a number of selectable frequencies, making it eminently
suitable for touring setups or where multiple wireless systems need to be used
simultaneously. Specifically, it offers 32 different operating frequencies within each of
three bands (low, medium, or high), allowing up to six different Micro 32 systems to be
used simultaneously in one band. The system you have purchased contains an M32
micro diversity receiver and either our T32 belt-pack transmitter (for instrument or lavalier
microphone or headset applications) or H32 hand-held microphone transmitter (available in
a wide variety of popular capsules).
The Micro 32 system is specially designed to enable the production of professional audio
tracks to accompany your video shoot or live broadcast. The use of a handheld mic
transmitter or lavalier microphone connected to a beltpack transmitter effectively isolates
the performer from unwanted ambient sounds such as video camera motor noise or room
sounds made by the camera operator or video crew. Because the M32 receiver is
extremely small and lightweight, it can be attached easily to any video camera using the
supplied strip of velcro, and can even be powered directly by the camera’s own 12-volt
power supply, if available.
In this manual, you’ll find a QuickStart section (for those of you familiar with wireless audio
systems) as well as more detailed description of the features of the Micro 32 system, a
guided tour through all components, step-by-step instructions for setting up your system,
wiring diagrams and tables, a channel plan and full specifications. If your Micro 32 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 Micro 32 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 Micro 32 system ever require servicing,
a Return Authorization number (RA) is necessary. Without this number, the unit will not be
accepted. If your Micro 32 system was purchased in the United States, please call
Samson at 1-800-372-6766 for a Return Authorization number prior to shipping your unit.
If possible, return the unit in its original carton and packing materials. If your Micro 32
system was purchased outside of the U. S., contact your local distributor for servicing
information.
* Your receiver and transmitter have been factory preset to utilize the same channel.
A listing of the available channels and their corresponding UHF frequencies is presented
in Appendix B on page 17 in this manual.
