Change the samson airline 77 microphone for a AMT, for sax player
I bought an samson Airline 77 wireless microphone that is the same as the AMT. I would like to keep the same receiver and transmiter, but change the Samson Microphone for an AMT Elite. is that possible? how can I do that?

Unfortunately, you don't have enough information to go on to give you a definative answer.
The Sampson Aireline will plug onto ANY xlr type DYNAMIC mic and should work.
The one thing on the AMT Elite I found said it was a "condenser" type element which means it would NOT work with your Sampson setup. Condenser mics require a Phantom power arrangement to charge the element and operate the local FET input amplifier.
If you are trying to mic a violin, the Airline 77 that was for the dynamic mics is a very poor choice as it is low impedance. Most violin pickups use a Piezo pickup which requires VERY high impedance input amplifier.
For my wife's violin we use an Autolycus pickup and an X2 wireless sytem. The pickup comes from New Zeeland and the X2 is CD quality digital wireless link. You have to make your own connector at the violin for the X2 cable was intended for guitars.
