Congratulations on purchasing the Samson AirLine 88x AG8 Guitar system. The AirLine 88x 
offers true wireless freedom without the hassle of a beltpack or cable. Featuring a plug-in 
transmitter with a dual-position connector that is designed to fit a variety of guitar jacks, the 
system provides professional sound, premium reliability and a 300’ operating range, freeing you 
to roam the stage. Offering frequency-agile UHF operation, the CR88x receiver provides 100 
available channels to secure reliable wireless performance. The receiver provides easy setup 
with 1-touch scan that analyzes and selects the clearest operating channel and infrared set to 
pair the transmitter with the receiver.

The AirLine 88 AG8 system continues Samson’s longstanding commitment to wireless 
innovation. Designed to be an extension of your instrument rather than a separate component, 
the AG8 Guitar Transmitter lets you rule the stage with confidence. The AirLine 88x system 
ensures clear, interruption-free performance by combining tone-key with auto-mute. This 
configuration allows only the transmitter’s audio to pass through the receiver, and mutes the 
output if there is any interference. For travel or permanent installation, the AirLine 88x includes 
a standard 19" rackmount kit.

In these pages, you’ll find a detailed description of the features of the AirLine 88x wireless 
system, as well as a guided tour through its control panel, step-by-step instructions for its setup 
and use, and full specifications. If your wireless 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 in so that you 
can receive online technical support and so that we can send you updated information about 
this and other Samson products in the future. Also, be sure to check out our website (www.
samsontech.com) for complete information about our full product line.
