Response to Samson UM1 Wireless System and the XL-1

You could also rewire your configuration. Take the mono wire coming from your receiver and then take off the mono plug that inputs into your camera. Get a stereo mini-plug from an electronics parts store (if its Radio Shack tell them your name is Saddam Hussain or something wild. I like to play games with those Radio Shack people for wanting to invade my privacy. Sometimes I tell them I will give you my name and address if you give me the name, address and home phone number of the CEO of Radio Shack so I can call him at home!), if that is the type that mates to your camera, and solder the single mono wire to both the right and left channels of the new mini-plug. Make sure your ground wire is properly attached. Once you open the plug you it is pretty obvious where to attach the mono wire to the two stereo input contacts. This will give you audio on both channels. Good luck.

PS: I have had a problem with putting mono plugs in stereo receptacles. Often there is never a good connection and the audio cuts out if the wire is moved. Making the alteration that I recommended will make a great connection free of this problem.
