AirLine 88 Wind Instrument UHF Wireless System
Brings True Wireless Freedom to Brass and Woodwind Performers
ANAHEIM, CA – NAMM 2017, Booth #6900 / Hall A, January 17, 2017 – Samson, an industry pioneer in wireless audio technology, today announces the AirLine 88 Wind Instrument UHF Wireless System, offering true wireless freedom without the hassle of a beltpack or cable. Featuring a clip-on transmitter with a shockmounted microphone and adjustable gooseneck, this frequency-agile UHF wireless system provides high definition sound with 300' of wireless operation for saxophones, trumpets, trombones and other wind instruments. AirLine 88 Wind Instrument will be available July 2017.
AirLine 88 Wind Instrument continues Samson's longstanding commitment to wireless innovation. Designed to be an extension of your instrument rather than a separate component, the AW8 transmitter lets you rule the stage with confidence. It provides infrared sync to wirelessly match the receiver and transmitter frequency, easily accessible Gain and Mute controls, a battery life LED indicator and an 8-hour rechargeable lithium ion battery.
Designed specifically for wind instruments, the system’s AW8 transmitter clips directly to your instrument’s bell with no beltpack or cable necessary. It features a shockmounted condenser microphone to minimize any noise caused by mechanical vibration. The mic capsule offers a supercardioid pickup pattern that handles up to 130dB SPL, ideal for handling the sudden attack of wind instruments. The AW8 also offers an 8.5” adjustable gooseneck for optimal mic placement.
Offering frequency-agile operation, the system’s rack mountable CR88 Wireless Receiver provides 16 selectable channels for reliable performance no matter where you are. The receiver’s True Diversity design minimizes dropouts, while tone key technology prevents unwanted noise when your transmitter is off or out of range. Available July 2017 for $399.99.

ANAHEIM, CA – NAMM 2017, Booth #6900 / Hall A, January 17, 2017 – Samson, an industry pioneer in professional audio solutions, today announces their new and improved Professional Dynamic Vocal Microphones: Q7x and Q8x. Samson's Q7x and Q8x provide exceptional sound reproduction for live and studio vocal and instrument performances, as well as presentations and podcasting. And with updated body designs and improved capsule shockmount systems, these mics provide reliable performance in even the most demanding environments. The Q7x and Q8x will be available March 2017.
Q7X Professional Dynamic Vocal Microphone
The workhorse Q7x offers a wide dynamic range with tailored mid-range presence produced by its neodymium dynamic mic element. Its smooth frequency response and low frequency roll-off provide balanced audio reproduction no matter the application.
Q8X Professional Dynamic Vocal Microphones
Capturing a wide dynamic range with exceptional mid-range clarity, the flagship Q8x provides a linear frequency response via its neodymium dynamic mic element that is flat with a slight lift around 8kHz. This makes the Q8x ideal for fitting vocals in live mixes with minimal EQ adjustments. In addition, its high saturation level audio transformer aids in the rejection of hum and noise.
Both models offer a supercardioid pickup pattern with excellent off-axis rejection, enabling them to pick up all the nuances of any performance with maximum volume and clarity, while reducing feedback and unwanted signals not originating in front of the mics. The Q7x and Q8x feature newly-designed rugged die-cast bodies and hardened steel grilles, along with improved multi-axis (Q7x) and pneumatic (Q8x) capsule shockmounts for minimizing handling noise. Equipped to withstand high sound pressure levels up to 147dB SPL (Q7x) and 150dB SPL (Q8x), these mics allow vocals to sound huge and crystal clear, but can also handle close miking instruments including drums, guitar cabinets and more. Available March 2017 for $79.99 (Q7x) and $99.99 (Q8x).
Q7x Features:
· Dynamic vocal microphone with tailored mid-range presence
· Neodymium dynamic mic element for wide dynamic range

· Handles high SPLs of up to 147dB for close miking situations
· Improved multi-axis capsule shockmount minimizes handling noise
· Rugged die cast body, hardened steel grille
· Includes mic clip and carry case
