"Thumbs down for professional use."

Feature:
OK on features. There's plenty of adjustability, and perhaps a bit too much. There are at least four adjustments to gain staging (not including the instrument) which complicates setup.

Quality:
Construction seems to be pretty good. All the covers, clips, cables, etc. seem to be made with pretty good grade high-impact plastic. Some markings are extremely small, however, and are impossible to read.

Value:
For this kind of money, I would expect FAR better performance.

Desirability:
Nice concept, with the direct plugin design of the transmitter. That's about it.

Sound:
Sound is plagued with hiss anytime a note is sounding. It's not an issue when playing loudly, but when a sustained note is playing and trails off, the signal becomes almost pure hiss.

Ease of Use:
Sure, it's conceptually easy to use, but getting "great" sounds is not possible. The manual is not exactly clear, and could use some rewriting.

Support:
I called Sampson explaining the hiss problem, and they quickly passed it off as a defective unit, and said to return it. But after doing some web research, I concluded this is a problem indigenous to this unit.

Overall:
I am not satisfied at all, and immediately requested a refund. Instead, I am purchasing the XD-PLUS from X2. It's $100 more than what I paid for the Samson, but the testimonials are glowing, and hopefully they bear out. The Samson unit might be OK for a budget setup, but expect budget sound. Definitely not professional quality.

"Good UHF wireless guitar system."

Feature:
I did not have to adjust anything. It worked fine out of the box.

Quality:
Seems to be reliable - I will be setting them up in a rack soon.

Value:
I do small shows -

Desirability:
I wanted a UHF system. After looking around - I finally chose this based on the price. Since most of the rest were at least $100 more.

Sound:
I own 2 Samson units. The AG1 unit and the (2nd unit) with CT7 body pack and guitar cable. I find the sound (from my acoustic electric)through the AG1 unit is clear and nice whereas the sound through the body pack sounds enveloped in a hiss. I am adding this since other reviewers mentioned the hiss. No hiss through the AG1 transmitter. The second unit with CT7 body pack sounds good with a headset QE/QV mic (or handheld).

News
Samson Airline 77 UHF Wireless systems are an unbeatable combination. Samson Concert 77 UHF True Diversity Half-Rack Receivers matched up with Samson's incredible Airline Series mini transmitters give you 'belt-pack-free' mobility at new low prices. Ultra-light, ultra-compact, and incredibly efficient, Airline Series transmitters provide flawless wireless performance for 12 hours on a single AAA battery.

For 2 decades Samson has led the world in wireless technology for musicians. Their philosophy: Make cutting-edge technology available to everyone. No system has ever done it like this before: the revolutionary Airline Wireless Systems -- with no belt packs -- at prices everyone can afford.

CR77 Receiver
The heart of Airline 77 is the new CR77 Receiver. This true-diversity half-rack unit with PLL frequency control works with all of the Airline transmitters. Rugged, durable and crystal clear with incredible range. UHF (Ultra High Frequency) means clearer frequencies with less interference.

AG1 & AF1 Guitar Transmitters
Samson invented the wireless guitar plug-in transmitter. Widely imitated; but never duplicated. Airline 77 Guitar and Bass guitar systems feature either the AF1 transmitter, designed for Strat style guitar jacks, or the AG1 right-angle version for straight guitar jacks. Both operate with the new CR77 half-rack receiver, or the Airline AP-1 Pedal-Style receivers.
