Setting Up and Using Your
Stage 5 Series System
The basic procedure for setting up and using your Stage 5 Series Wireless System takes only a
few minutes:
1. For the Stage 5 Series system to work correctly, both the receiver and transmitter must be set
to the same channel. Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service)
and check to make sure that the supplied receiver and transmitter are set to the same channel.
If these channels do not match, contact your Samson Technical Support at 1-800-372-6766.
2. Physically place the receiver where it will be used (the general rule of thumb is to maintain
“line of sight” between the receiver and transmitter so that the person using or wearing the
transmitter can see the receiver). - Extend the antenna and place it in a vertical position.
3. Make sure the Power on-off switch in your HT5 handheld transmitter is set to “Off.”
4. On the HT5 handheld transmitter, unscrew the bottom section of the microphone by turning
it counterclockwise and then slide it off.
5. Place a fresh 9-volt alkaline battery in the transmitter battery holder, taking care to observe
the polarity markings. Replace the bottom section of the HT5 handheld microphone by sliding
it on and then screwing it back on. Leave the transmitter off for the moment.
6. Make the physical cable connection between the SR5 output jack and the line audio input of
your amplifier or mixer using the included 1/4-inch cable. If you are connecting to a professional
mixer you can use the balanced XLR jack (with an optional XLR mic cable), be sure to set the
receiver rear panel Audio Output Level switch correctly. If required, both the balanced and
unbalanced outputs can be used simultaneously. Leave your amplifier (and/or mixer) off at this
time.
7. Turn the Volume knob on the SR5 completely counterclockwise. Using the strain relief,
connect the supplied AC adapter to the DC Input on the rear panel of the SR5, then plug the
adapter into any standard AC outlet. Press the front panel Power switch to turn on the SR5; the
green “Power” LED will light up, but all other front panel LEDs will remain unlit
8. Turn on the power to the HT5 transmitter (using its Power on-off switch); all three Battery
strength LEDs will light if the battery is sufficiently strong. At this point, the RF Meter on the
front panel of the receiver will light.
9. Now it’s time to set the audio levels. Turn on your connected amplifier and/or mixer but
keep its volume all the way down. Next, make sure that your HT5 transmitter is unmuted by
setting its Audio switch to “On.” Then set the Volume knob on the SR5 fully counterclockwise.
Speak or sing into the mic at a normal performance level while observing the SR5 front panel
Audio Meter. If the “0” (unity gain) segment is lighting steadily, with just occasional higher
excursions, the audio level is correctly set. If not, use the supplied plastic screwdriver to slowly
adjust the HT5 Gain control (trimpot) until the SR5 Audio Meter “0” (unity gain) segment lights
steadily (with occasional higher excursions). Then slowly raise the SR5 Volume knob to the 2
o’clock position (unity gain) and, finally, set the volume of your amplifier/mixer until the desired
level is reached.
Bear in mind also that the HT5H
microphone is
unidirectional
which means it picks up sound
from the front of the mic and rejects sound from the rear. This will help reduce the chance of
feedback. In general, you can avoid feedback by taking care not to use any microphone directly
in front of a PA speaker (if this is unavoidable, try using an equalizer to attenuate those high- or
mid-range frequencies which are causing the feedback “squealing”).
10. If you hear distortion at the desired volume level (or if the “+6” segment LED in the
Audio Meter is lighting frequently), first check that the SR5 rear panel Audio Output Level switch
is set correctly. Next, make sure that the gain structure of your audio system is correctly set
