heres another post that i dont know if it goes here or not .

anyway , i have a samson stage series wireless . my problem is that at a useable stage volume it has an extreme amount of distortion . turning down the reciever takes it away , but also puts it in a setting where there isnt enough volume . i opened up the belt pack and found two small adjustment pots . im wondering if one is for the beltpack output ???? any help is greatky appreciated . i will try calling samson tomorrow ...

Yes, one is for controlling the transmitter's output.

Samson manuals are online

And they have forums
Also, I've used their support and they got right back to me.

My wireless is discontinued and I haven't seen a manual

I have the Samson Series One and I still use it occasionally. I was told that unity gain is at about 1:00 o'clock on the output level knob (on the receiver). I have no trouble driving my Eden WT500B to full output with it at this setting. Above that it does start to distort more, so I know what you mean there.
Of course, if you have a different model this info may not be useful to you, but most equipment of this type is designed to be at or about unity gain at 12:00. Maybe there is a problem with impedances or your amp input gain? I don't use the 12dB pad on the Eden, because the receiver output is just enough to use the Eden's (input) gain knob at 12:00 without needing to pad it.
I would speculate that one of the internal trimpots is for input sensitivity and the other for output range, so experimenting (1/4 turn at a time) would probably work out fine. Good luck.

FYI, all things regarding wireless systems belong in the Misc. subforum.

Carry on.
