About the Samson Airline 88x AH8
Made for movers (and shakers, too)
Made for movers (and shakers, too)
When you're leading a fitness class, you can't amble around the front of the room like a stand-up comic — you gotta move. Samson's AirLine 88x AH8 Fitness Headset is designed for yoga, Pilates, Zumba, and cycling instructors, but it's also perfect for any presenter or performer who needs maximum freedom of movement onstage.
A sweatproof headset
The Airline 88x features a lightweight, water-resistant micro-transmitter headset that molds to your head and stays in place, no matter how hard you're working. This frequency-agile UHF wireless system gives you high-definition sound, everyday reliability, and a 300-foot operating range so you've got plenty of room to roam.
The headset contains a built-in rechargeable lithium ion battery that'll keep rocking for up to 8 hours on a charge. The Gain and Mute controls are easy to use, and the headset also will synch up quickly with the included receiver. The AE50X micro-miniature microphone capsule features a cardioid pickup pattern that will keep stray noise from getting in the way of what you're trying to say. And you don't even have to mess around with a clunky beltpack or a cable.
Rugged and easy to use
The Airline 88x is a high-performance system that's easy to live with. One-touch scanning will choose the clearest channel for your space, and an infrared signal will lock the transmitter and headset for crystal-clear wireless reception that's free of annoying drop-outs. With 100 frequencies, you'll have no trouble finding a channel that works for you.
Tone-key and auto-mute circuitry ensure that you'll only hear the audio signal from the AH8 transmitter, which automatically mutes when you go out of range. The rear panel includes balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (1/4") outputs, so you can connect your system to an amplifier or sound system. And you can use up to eight systems per frequency band, so if you have multiple presenters or even multiple studios, you're good to go with your Airline 88x system.
