Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Samson Stage 55 Series or Stage 5 Series Wireless System!
Although this product is designed for easy operation, we suggest you first take some time to go
through these pages so you can fully understand how we’ve implemented a number of unique
features.
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 Stage 55 Series or Stage 5 Series system you have purchased operates in
the 174.6 - 213.2 MHz frequency range and contains either a SR55 or SR5 receiver as well as one
of the following transmitters: a ST5 belt-pack transmitter (for lavaliere microphone or headset
applications); a ST5 belt-pack transmitter (for instrument applications); or a HT5 hand-held micro-
phone transmitter. For convenience and security, the Stage 55 Series and Stage 5 Series system
is packaged in a custom impact-resistant polypropylene plastic carrying case that provides room
for all components (see Appendix B for more information).
The ST5L beltpack transmitter provides a locking 3.5 mm mini-phone jack for connection to the
various Stage series transmitters including:
LM5 - Lavaliere condenser microphone
HS5 - Headset condenser microphone
GC5 - Heavy-duty Guitar/Instrument cable
The HT5 hand-held microphone transmitter is equipped with the Samson Q7 neodymium
dynamic microphone element.
* Your receiver and transmitter have been factory preset to utilize the same channel.
The SR5 receiver provided with the STAGE 5 Series wireless system utilizes non-diversity technol-
ogy, incorporating a single antenna for ease of use and minimal cost. The SR55 receiver provided
with the Stage 55 Series system utilizes an advanced technology called “Diversity,” whereby a
single chassis houses two antennas (called “Antenna A” and “Antenna B”) and a receiver circuit.
An advanced circuit design continuously scans RF signals from the two antennas and determines
which one has the clearest and strongest reception, automatically (and silently) switching that
signal to the receiver. This allows you to maintain the wireless communication link over a much
broader area range than would be allowed by a receiver utilizing a single antenna and also virtu-
ally eliminates multipath dropouts, interference and phase cancellation problems. In addition,
special sample-and-hold linking circuitry ensures that correct phase correlation is maintained
at all times, with no noise or pops during antenna switching. The result is performance which
exceeds that of conventional non-diversity systems and the highest quality audio fidelity avail-
able in any wireless system. Finally, the provision of a noise reduction circuit produces crystal-
clear sound with minimized background noise and hiss.

Guided Tour - SR55 Front Panel
1: Antennas (A and B) - The antenna mountings allow full rotation for optimum placement. In
normal operation, both Antenna A (the antenna on the left) and Antenna B (the antenna on the
right) should be placed in a vertical position. Both antennas can be folded inward for conve-
nience when transporting the SR55. See the “Setting Up and Using Your Stage 55 Series / Stage
5 Series System” section on page 12 in this manual for more information about antenna position-
ing.
2: Volume control - This knob sets the level of the audio signal being output through both the
balanced and unbalanced output jacks on the rear panel. Reference level is obtained when the
knob is turned fully clockwise.
3: Audio Meter - This “ladder” display (similar to the VU bar meter used on audio devices) indi-
cates the strength of the incoming audio signal. When the “0” segment is lit, the incoming signal
is optimized at unity gain; when the “+6” segment is lit, the signal is overloading. When only the
left-most “-20” segment is lit, the incoming signal is at just 10% of optimum strength. If no seg-
ments are lit, little or no signal is being received. See the “Setting Up and Using Your Stage 55
Series / Stage 5 Series System” section on page 12 in this manual for more information.
4: Squelch control - This control determines the maximum range of the SR55 before audio signal
dropout. Although it can be adjusted using the supplied plastic screwdriver, it should normally
be left at its factory setting. See the “Setting Up and Using Your Stage 55 Series / Stage 5 Series
System” section on page 12 in this manual for more information.
5: ANT A/B LEDs - When signal is being received, one of these will be lit yellow, showing you
whether the (left) “A” or (right) “B” antenna is currently being used. The SR55 constantly scans its
two antennas and automatically selects whichever is receiving the strongest, clearest signal. This
Diversity switching is completely inaudible, but it effectively increases overall range while virtu-
ally eliminating potential interference and phase cancellation problems.
6: RF Meter - This “ladder” display (similar to the VU bar meter used on audio devices) indicates
the strength of the incoming radio signal. When the “100%” segment is lit, the incoming RF signal
is fully modulated and at optimum strength. When only the second most left-most “10%” seg-
ment is lit, the incoming signal is at just 10% of optimum strength. If no segments are lit, little or
no signal is being received. See the “Setting Up and Using Your Stage 55 Series / Stage 5 Series
System” section on page 12 in this manual for more information.
7: Power switch - Use this to turn the SR55 power on and off.

1: DC input - Connect the supplied 12 volt, 250 mA power adapter here, using the strain relief as
shown in the illustration below. WARNING: The substitution of any other kind of power adapter
can cause severe damage to the SR55 and will void your warranty.
2: Balanced output* - Use this electronically balanced low impedance (600 Ohm) XLR jack when
connecting the SR55 to professional (+4) audio equipment. Pin wiring is as follows: Pin 1 ground
(shield), Pin 2 high (hot), and Pin 3 low (cold).
3: Audio Output Level switch - Sets the audio output level attenuation of the balanced output
(see #4 below) to -20 dBm (line level) or -40 dBm (mic level). See the “Setting Up and Using Your
Stage 55 Series / Stage 5 Series System” section on page 12 in this manual for more information.
4: Unbalanced output* - Use this unbalanced high impedance (5K Ohm) 1/4" jack when con-
necting the SR55 to consumer (-10) audio equipment. Wiring is as follows: tip hot, sleeve ground.

Guided Tour - ST5
1: Input connector - The input device is connected here. The ST5 is supplied with either a lava-
liere, headset microphone or heavy-duty instrument cable terminating with a 1/4" plug, which
are all connected to the transmitter via a locking 3.5mm mini-phone jack.
2: Battery level meter - This set of three multicolor LEDs indicates relative battery power, indi-
cating whether the installed battery is at low (red), mid (yellow) or high (green) strength. One or
more of these will light whenever the SR5 or ST5 is powered on (see #5 on the next page). When
all three are lit, the battery is at maximum strength. When only the red “low” indicator lights, RF
performance is degraded and the battery needs to be replaced.
3: Audio on-off switch - When set to the “on” position, audio signal is transmitted. When set
to the “off” position, the audio signal is muted. Because the carrier signal remains during mut-
ing, no “pop” or “thud” will be heard. Note that turning this off does not turn off the transmitter
power—it is simply a way to temporarily mute the transmission of audio signal. If you don’t
plan on using the transmitter for extended periods, turn off the transmitter power by using the
power on-off switch (see #5 on the next page).
4: Battery door release - Press gently inward on these two indents in order to open the battery
door of the ST5L or ST5 and access the Power on-off switch (see #5 on the next page) and Gain
control (see #6 on the next page).
5: Power on-off switch* - Use this to turn the ST5 on or off (to conserve battery power, be sure
to leave it off when not in use).

6: Attenuation switch - The ST5 transmitter features a signal Attenuation switch that is used
to select the input level of “0dB” or “-15dB”. This Attenuation switch has been factory preset to
“0dB” providing the optimum level for most microphone and instrument input signals. If you are
using a microphone or instrument with a high output signal, first try to adjust the Gain control as
described in the following section. If you cannot attenuate the signal low enough using the Gain
control, use the supplied plastic screwdriver (see #9 below) to turn the rotary Attenuation switch
to the counter-clockwise position setting the ST5 to “-15dB” level.
7: Gain control (trimpot) - This input gain control has been factory preset to a nominal level so
we recommend that this be adjusted only if your signal is too high, or too low. If necessary, how-
ever, you can use the supplied plastic screwdriver (see #9 below) to raise or lower the ST5 Gain
control. See the “Setting Up and Using Your Stage 55 Series / Stage 5 Series System” section on
page 12 in this manual for more information.
8: Battery holder - Insert a standard 9-volt alkaline battery here, being sure to observe the
plus and minus polarity markings shown. We recommend the Duracell MN 1604 type battery.
Although rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries can be used, they do not supply adequate current for
more than four hours. WARNING: Do not insert the battery backwards; doing so can cause
severe damage to the ST5 and will void your warranty.
9: Plastic screwdriver - Specially designed for use in adjusting the ST5 Gain control (see #7
above) and/or receiver Squelch control (see #4 on pages 5 and 7). See the “Setting Up and Using
Your Stage 55 Series / Stage 5 Series System” section on page 12 in this manual for more informa-
tion.
* Be sure to mute the audio signal at your external mixer or amplifier before turning transmitter power
on or off, or an audible pop may result.
