System Features
•Optimized for use in videography applications, the VM1 system is highly customizable,
combining a VHF “walkaround” receiver with your choice of Samson VHF TD Series
beltpack or handheld microphone transmitters.
•Using the supplied velcro strip, the compact, lightweight VM1 receiver can be easily
attached to any video camera and can even derive 12 volt power from the camera (if
available), making it easy to integrate into any traveling or fixed installation video system.
•The VM1 micro diversity receiver includes a pair of tuned antennas and provides both a
standard unbalanced output (with a three-position output level switch) and a dedicated
headphone monitor output with continuously adjustable level control. The receiver also
includes an audio peak LED, dual antenna indicators, and an RF strength meter.
•All components use standard 9-volt batteries, with battery life of more than 6 hours,* and
feature a convenient three-segment multicolor Battery Strength LED meter (which in the
VM1 can also be used as an RF level meter), allowing you to monitor the remaining
power in the installed battery.
•True Diversity technology maximizes active range (up to 300 feet) and reduces potential
interference problems through automatic switching between two independent antennas.
•Built-in companding noise reduction in all components for crystal-clear sound with
minimized background noise and hiss.
•Transmitters provide “popless” muting, which turns off the audio signal while leaving the
carrier signal on.
•Incredibly compact “beeper-sized” VT3L belt-pack transmitters is extremely lightweight
(less than 4 ounces with a 9-volt battery installed) and provides a Switchcraft TB3M
mini-XLR jack for connection to a variety of popular headsets and lavalier microphones,
