SAM1-3GM and SAM1 MADI Combined User Handbook Version One Issue 1
1.0 Introduction
SAM1 3GM and SAM1 MADI are deceptively simple yet highly sophisticated compact multichannel
audio monitor units designed for use anywhere within a Broadcast environment that employs SDI,
MADI, AES or analogue audio infrastructure. The flexible monitoring configuration system delivers
a unique combination of bespoke audio monitoring and mix capabilities designed to simplify
operations and workflow.
The SAM1 is a 1RU x 250mm Audio Monitoring Unit controlled via a simple hard/software user
interface with dual fully assignable high resolution, LCD bargraph displays.
As with any new product which relies on software, it is possible that you may find minor bugs or
perhaps think of enhancements which would improve the operation of SAM1. In the event of either
scenario, please feel free to contact TSL Products via your local reseller or directly on +44 1628-
676221, asking for the SAM series Product Manager.
TSL will be releasing upgrades and feature enhancements from time to time – as a purchaser of
SAM1 3GM and/or SAM1 MADI you can receive these directly, free of charge, through your
reseller or as a download from TSL Products. Please refer to www.tslproducts.com for
