  Samson Airline AP1B Bass Guitar Wireless System with Angled Plug

The revolutionary AirLine transmitter plugs-in directly to your bass. There is no body pack required~!

Samson Airline AP1B Bass Wireless System
Manufacturer's Description: The ultimate in comfort, convenience, and performance, feather-light AIRLINE Series transmitters have made bulky beltpacks and cumbersome connecting cables obsolete. AIRLINE'S super efficient UHF circuits operate 14 hours on a single "AAA" battery introducing a new level of freedom to professional wireless performance.

The revolutionary AirLine transmitter plugs-in directly to your bass. There is no body pack! The AIRLINE Bass system includes the AP1B UHF Receiver (looks like a stomp-box) featuring 1/4 in. unbalanced outputs.

The Airline UHF Bass Guitar System eliminates body packs with a tiny micro transmitter that plugs right into the bass guitar. The AP1B, the system’s receiver, is designed to easily integrate into an effect pedal setup and features a shape circuitry yielding a fat bottom end and fullness never before heard in a wireless system for bass.

The AirLine "plug-in" AG1 transmitter is designed for traditional end-mount inputs. Less than half the size of conventional body packs, this miniaturized transmitter runs on a tiny triple-A battery with 14-hours of battery life. It features an array of on-board controls: A Power On/Off and Mute switch, red/green LED for Power On/Off, a Peak LED and an Input Level control for different pickups. And UHF (Ultra High Frequency) means clearer frequencies with less interference.

Designed for use with your compact effect pedals, the APB1 pedal receiver gives you reception you can always depend on. It features a 1/4" output jack, Power switch, Peak LED and a Volume control. You can use a 9 volt battery or an AC adapter to power the receiver. When you unplug your the unit, the battery is disabled to conserve power.

Review 1

Feature: It's great - just plug the transmitter into your guitar, plug in the base station, and off you go. It has a squeltch control, as well as other features.

Quality: It's fairly lightweight construction. There are little black plastic switches on the units. I rarely move the 15 P DAB switch as I usually leave it in the "on" position. It's right next to the "power" switch, so I moved it once on accident and it broke right off! Really surprised me. I can still flip the switch with a pen, but it makes me wonder when the power switch is going to break. Then I'll really be upset.

Value: For the money, quality, and convenience, this unit is a great buy. Just beware of the poor-quality switches. If you've ever worked on a plastic model (say, putting together a model airplane) and had to snap off the invidual parts from their holder - it's kind of like that.

Sound: For the best quality sound, you really can't beat a traditional wired setup. Even major bands that are really into the quality of the sound they produce live (Dream Theater) are going back to wired on stage. For the money, though, this unit sounds great. I purchased this along with wireless headphones so I can walk around the house (inside and outside) and rock on my guitar. Total freedom!

Ease of Use: It's very easy to use.

Support: They provide phone number and e-mail for tech support. Waiting to hear back from them now. Hopefully they'll fix the switch at no charge to me, and hopefully this problem is not worthy of a recall. What good is fixing the product if it's only going to break again?

Review 2

Feature: There arent many features on the wireless sytem but you dont really need them.

Quality: Quality doesnt get much better than this. Sounds exactly like a cord and doesnt break.

Value: Even though this item is a bit pricy itll last you for longer than most wireless systems.

Desirability: This product isnt very good looking but its really small and portable so who cares.

Sound: This wireless sytem has a great sound. It puts up a real comparison to the cord. You just cant tell the difference.

Support: havent had to call them yet

Overall: Great wireless sytem. BUY IT. THIS IS NOW DISCONTINUED
