Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Samson VHF TD Series or VHF 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 VHF TD Series or VHF Series system you have
purchased operates in the 173.8 - 213.2 MHz frequency range and contains either a
VR3TD or VR3 receiver as well as one of the following transmitters: a VT3L belt-pack
transmitter (for lavalier microphone or headset applications); a VT3 belt-pack transmitter
(for instrument applications); or a VH3 hand-held microphone transmitter. For
convenience and security, the VHF TD Series and VHF Series system is packaged in a
custom impact-resistant polypropylene plastic carrying case that provides room for all
components (see Appendix B on page 50 for more information).
The VT3L beltpack transmitter provides a Switchcraft P3 mini-XLR jack for connection to a
variety of popular headsets and lavalier microphones, including:
Samson QV headset
Samson QE headset**
Audio-Technica ATM-75 headset
Audio-Technica MT-350 lavalier
