Introduction

Congratulations—you’ve made an excellent choice in your purchase of the Samson SE50 Earset Microphone! The SE50 is a low pro­file, ear-worn, microminiature condenser microphone with a 2.5mm capsule producing outstanding audio quality making it perfect
for spoken word and other vocal applications. The microphone can be easily shaped to fit the left or right ear and the clever retaining
band holds the mic in place even when used in fitness applications. Thanks to the omnidirectional pick up pattern, the microphone’s
off axis frequency response is linear, resulting in a clear and articulate reproduction regardless of the position of the capsule relative to
the sound source. The microphone has been specially treated with a water resistant coating providing extra protection from sweat and
other moisture. In addition, there is a moisture guard drip-ring to further protect the capsule and ensure reliable performance. Available
in both beige and black color, the SE50 Earset is particularly well-suited for use with Samson wireless systems and with four included
adapters, the microphone can be used with most any other manufacturer’s wireless body pack systems. Other accessories included in
the kit are a clothing cable clip, three windscreens and an attractive carry case to hold the SE50, all the accessories, plus a compartment
to hold most any body pack. Manufactured with extreme care and the highest quality components, the SE50 delivers an exceptionally
clear, articulate sound with reliable performance in an extremely low profile, nearly invisible design.

In this manual, you’ll find a detailed description of the features of your SE50 Earset microphone, as well as instructions for using your
SE50 Earset and complete specifications. You’ll also find a warranty card enclosed—don’t forget to fill it out and mail it in! This will en­able you to receive online technical support and will allow us to send you updated information about other Samson products in the
