Samson Stage XPD1 Quick Start Manual - Quick Start
Quick Start
1. Plug the RXD1 USB receiver into a USB jack on a wirelessly enable Samson audio device or to a
USB port on a computer.
Note: When using the Stage XPD1 wireless system with a computer, you must set
the computer’s audio input device to
“Samson RXD Wireless Receiver”. In most
computer operating systems, an audio software must be used to record or monitor
the audio from the USB receiver.
2. Place a fresh set of AA (LR6) batteries in the transmitter battery holder, taking care
to observe the polarity markings.
3. Turn the wireless level knob on the audio device completely counterclockwise, then turn the power of
the audio device to the ON position.
4. Turn on the power to the transmitter by pressing and holding Power switch; the indicator LED will
light amber.
5. If the transmitter and receiver have not been previously paired, press and hold the button on the
RXD1 receiver for >5 seconds, until it begins to flash. Press and continue to hold the Power button
on the transmitter until the LED indicators on both units light steady, indicating that the receiver and
transmitter are paired and ready for operation.
6. Speak or sing into the microphone at a normal performance level and raise the wireless level control
until the desired level is reached. For best signal-to-noise operation, set the input Gain control as
high as possible without overloading.
7. If you hear distortion turn down the wireless level on the audio device. If distortion is still audible,
use the supplied plastic screwdriver to turn the Gain control in the PXD1 transmitter slowly
counterclockwise until the distortion disappears.
8. Conversely, if you hear a weak, noisy signal at the desired volume level and with the wireless level
control of the audio device is set to maximum, use the supplied plastic screwdriver to turn the Gain
control in the PXD1 transmitter slowly clockwise until the signal reaches an acceptable level.
