Setting Up and Using Your
Stage 5 Series System
(consult the owners manual of your mixer and/or amplifier for details). If you still hear distortion,
do the following:
• The HT5 transmitter's Gain control has been factory preset to provide optimum level for the
particular microphone model being used and so no adjustment should be necessary. Any
distortion present should therefore simply be a matter of the microphone being too close to
the mouth; try moving it further away. If this does not solve the problem, use the supplied
plastic screwdriver to turn the Gain control (trimpot) on the HT5 slowly counterclockwise until
the distortion disappears.
Note that, following this setup procedure, you can always lower the Volume knob of the SR5 in
order to further attenuate the output signal if necessary.
11. Conversely, if you hear a weak, noisy signal at the desired volume level (and with the Volume
control of the receiver turned fully clockwise), again make sure that the SR5 rear panel Audio
Output Level switch is set correctly and that the gain structure of your audio system is correctly
set. If it is and the signal coming from the SR5 is still weak and/or noisy, do the following:
• The HT5 transmitter's Gain control has been factory preset to provide optimum level for the
particular microphone model being used and so no adjustment should be necessary. Any
weakness of signal should therefore simply be a matter of the microphone being too far from
the mouth; try moving it closer. If this does not solve the problem, use the supplied plastic
screwdriver to turn the Gain control (trimpot) on the HT5 slowly clockwise until the signal
reaches an acceptable level.
12. Temporarily turn down the level of your mixer/amplifier system and turn off the power to
your transmitter, leaving the SR5 on. Then restore the previously set level of your mixer/amplifier.
With the transmitter off, the receiver output should be totally silent—if it is, skip ahead to the
next step. If it isn’t (that is, if you hear some noise), you may need to adjust the receiver’s front
panel Squelch control. When the Squelch control is at its minimum setting, the Stage 5 Series
system always provides maximum range without dropout; however, depending upon the
particular environment your system is used in, you may need to reduce that range somewhat in
order to eliminate band noise or interference when the transmitter is turned off. To do so, use
the provided screwdriver to rotate the Squelch control completely counterclockwise (to the “Min”
position), then slowly turn it clockwise until the noise disappears. If no noise is present at any
position, leave it at its fully counterclockwise “Min” position (so as to have the greatest overall
range available).
13. When first setting up the Stage 5 Series System in a new environment, it’s always a good idea
to do a walkaround in order to make sure that coverage is provided for your entire performance
area. Accordingly, turn down the level of your audio system and turn on both the transmitter
and receiver. Then, with the transmitter unmuted, restore the level of your audio system and
while speaking or singing, walk through the entire area that will need to be covered. As you do
so, the “TX” LED on the front panel of the SR5 should always remain lit. Always try to minimize
the distance between transmitter and receiver as much as possible so that the strongest
possible signal is received from all planned transmission points. In fixed installations such as
A/V or corporate conference rooms or for extended range applications (where the transmitter
and receiver are more than 150 feet apart), it may be desirable to angle the receiver antenna
differently from its vertical position or to install the receiver in the same room as the transmitters
(and, if necessary, to extend the wiring to remote audio equipment).
If you have followed all the steps above and are experiencing difficulties, contact your local
distributor or, if purchased in the United States, call Samson Technical Support (1-800-372-6766)
between 9 AM and 5 PM EST.
