Introduction / System Features
We know you don’t like reading owners manuals, but you’ve just purchased one of the
most unique wireless systems around, and we want to tell you about it! So, before you
plug in and start using it, we’d like to suggest you take just a few moments out to scan
these pages. We’ll make it as painless as possible, we promise—and, who knows, you
might just pick up a tip or two.
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 Synth 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 Synth 32 systems to be
used simultaneously in one band. The system you have purchased contains an R32
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).
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 Synth 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 Synth 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 Synth 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 Synth 32 system ever require servicing,
a
Return Authorization number (RA) is necessary. Without this number, the unit will not be
accepted. If your Synth 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 Synth 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 54 in this manual.
System Features
Designed for use in both live sound and sound contracting applications, the Samson UHF
Synth 32 Wireless System provides a high performance, cost effective solution, utilizing
state-of-the-art technology in wireless communications. Its main features include:
•Three bands of operation (low, medium and high), with 32 different available channels
per band, all operating in the less crowded UHF bandwidth. Up to six Synth 32 systems
(each tuned to a different frequency within the same band) can be used in the same
location without interference. (U.S. users, who can access both the low and medium
bands, have access to 64 channels and can use up to twelve Synth 32 systems in a
single location.)
