Introduction

Samson’s Stage XPD1 USB Digital Wireless System brings the convenience of wireless to your computer
recordings and beyond. With a wireless receiver built into a USB stick and a belt pack transmitter, with
a lavelier or headset microphone, the Stage XPD1 allows you to wirelessly record stunning audio straight
to your Mac/PC and favorite digital audio software. It’s the ideal wireless system for presentations,
podcasting, YouTube performances, karaoke video games, voice over projects and much more.

The Stage XPD1 operates in the license-free 2.4GHz frequency band, which is free from interference
caused by television stations and other white space broadcast devices. The included microphone is
designed to provide exceptional sound reproduction for spoken word presentations, as well as singing
applications and more. The Stage XPD1 system is extremely fast and easy to setup. With the receiver
connected to your computer via USB and the mic transmitter turned on, simply press the Pair button on
the receiver and you’re set. The Stage XPD1’s 100’ operating range (environment dependent) between
receiver and transmitter provides users with plenty of room to work wirelessly.

In addition the Stage XPD1 is the perfect accessory for expanding the Samson
Expedition Series Portable PA Systems. Via their USB Wireless ports, these Expedition
PAs can be connected with the Stage XPD1 for full range wireless capability in live
applications.
