Setting Up And Using Your; Stage 55 Series/Stage 5 Series System - Samson Stage 55 Mode D'emploi

Setting Up and Using Your

Stage 55 Series/Stage 5 Series System

The basic procedure for setting up and using your Stage 55 Series or Stage 5 Series Wireless
System takes only a few minutes:
1. For the Stage 55 Series / Stage 5 Series system to work correctly, both the receiver and trans-
mitter 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 distributor or, if purchased in
the United States, 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 or antennas and place them in a vertical
position.
3. Make sure the Power on-off switch in your ST5 belt-pack or HT5 handheld transmitter is set to
"Off. "
4a. If your system contains a ST5 belt-pack transmitter, press gently inward on both battery
cover release indents to open the battery door. Note that this door is hinged and not intended
to be removed from the transmitter case. Please use care when opening this door as undue
force will destroy the hinge.
4b. If your system contains a 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. If you are using a ST5 belt-pack transmitter, gently replace the battery
door by swinging it up and pressing until it clicks. If you are using a HT5 handheld transmitter,
replace the bottom section of the microphone by sliding it on and then screwing it back on.
Whichever transmitter you are using, leave it off for the moment.
6. Make the physical cable connection between the SR55 or SR5 output jack and the line or mic
level audio input of your amplifier or mixer. If you are using the balanced XLR jack (preferable,
since it will deliver an electromagnetically cleaner signal), 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 SR55 or SR5 completely counterclockwise. Using the strain
relief, connect the supplied AC adapter to the DC Input on the rear panel of the SR55 or SR5,
then plug the adapter into any standard AC outlet. Press the front panel Power switch to turn
on the SR55 or SR5; the green "Power" LED will light up, but all other front panel LEDs will remain
unlit.
8. Turn on the power to the ST5 or 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. If you are using an SR55 receiver, either the "A" or "B"
yellow LED on the front panel will also light, depending upon which antenna is receiving the
stronger signal.
