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 174.0 - 216.0 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 microphone 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 technology, 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 sig- nals 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 virtually 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 available in any wireless system. Finally, the provision of a noise reduction circuit produces crystal-clear sound with minimized background noise and hiss. 4 Introduction In this manual, you’ll find a more detailed description of the features of your Stage 55 Series or Stage 5 Series system, as well as a guided tour through all components, step- by-step instructions for setting up and using your system and full specifications. If your Stage 55 Series or Stage 5 Series 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 other Samson products in the future. If your Stage 55 Series or Stage 5 Series system was purchased outside of the United States, contact your local distributor for warranty details. SPECIAL NOTE for U.S. purchasers: Should your Stage 55 Series or Stage 5 Series sys- tem ever require servicing, a Return Authorizationnumber (RA) is necessary. Without this number, the unit will not be accepted. Please call Samson at 1-800-372-6766 for a Return Authorization number prior to shipping your unit. Please retain the original packing materials and, if possible, return the unit in its original carton and packing materials. If your Stage 55 Series or Stage 5 Series system was purchased outside of the United States, contact your local distributor for servicing information. 5 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 convenience 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 positioning. 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) indicates the strength of the incoming audio signal. When the “0” segment is lit, the incom- ing 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 segments are lit, little or no signal is bein…

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 June 10, 2003 RE: Sam Ash Music Corporation FCC ID: CCRST5 I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. 1) Please provide internal photographs that show the top and bottom of each board within this device. 2) The FCC Label shows "FCC ID CCRST5". Note that the colon is missing after the words FCC ID. Please correct to "FCC ID: CCRST5". 3) Please explain the use of the FCC logo on the devices label. This logo is used exclusively to show compliance with certain types of devices under part 15 & 18 (DoC's). This device does not appear to require the use of this logo, and should therefore be removed. 4) From external/internal photographs, the antenna does not appear to be shown. Please provide information that shows the antenna and location within this device. 5) The test report and 731 form state the device operates from 174 - 216 MHz which is given in Part 74 for low power stations. However the users manual states 173.80 - 213.20 (back) and 174.6-213.2 (front) which falls outside this band. Note that 74.861 states that low power auxiliary transmitters not required to operate on specific carrier frequencies shall operate sufficiently within the authorized frequency band edges to insure the emission bandwidth falls entirely within the authorized band.. Please correct any incorrect exhibits and provide the actual list of transmitting frequencies to show complianc with this section. 6) The emission designator given in the manual (80KF3E) does not match the 731 from and test report (130KF3E). Additionally the users manual mentions a peak deviation of 15 kHz, compared with 50 kHz given in the report. Please explain and correct the affected exhibits. 7) The users manual mentions Part 74 and Part 90, while this application appears to only be for Part 74. Please explain. 8) Page 23 of the test report states testing was performed to 1 GHz, while the other tables state 2 GHz. Please explain. 9) The users manual states the device is capable of 20 mW (+13 dBm), but only -19.1 dBm was measured using the substitution method. This is a large unexpected difference of 39.1 dB. Please explain. Additionally, please note that the technical requirements of 74.861 mention measuring at the output terminals so a direct connection method is the preferred method for this section of the rules if it can be performed. Note that the grant will list the direct connection results if these can be provided, otherwise the ERP power will have to be used. 10) Note that the European version only operates at 2 mW, which is 10 dB lower than the U.S. version. If the device provided in this application was not properly operating at full output power expected of 20 mW, then retesting of spurious emissions will be required also due to the increase of output power. 11) The test report should reference the most recent published version of Part 2/74, for example October 2002. Additionally, Part 15 Subpart H given on page 33 of the test report is not valid. Please correct. 12) The test report includes data for the receiver portion of the device. Note that a separate application must submitted for certification of the RX, or alternatively a DoC performed by an appropriately accredited test facility. The RX information will be ignored within this application, however please comment on what compliance route is being used for the RX (separate certification or DoC). --- Continued on Next Page --- z Page 2June 10, 2003 13) Please provide: a) DC voltages & /currents applied into the several elements of the final radio frequency amplifying device for normal operation over the power range b) Tune up procedure over power range c) Description of all circuitry and devices provided for determining and stabilizing frequency, for suppression of spurious radiation, for limiting modulation, and for limiting power.
