Samson Concert 288 Presentation Dual-Channel Wireless Microphone System with 2 Headset Mics & 2 Lav Mics | H: 470 to 518 MHz
The Samson Concert 288 Presentation Dual-Channel Wireless System provides a wireless microphone solution designed for two presenters or instructors to operate concurrently. It includes two HS5 headset microphones and two LM5 lavalier microphones, allowing users to select their preferred type of microphone for their presentations. The microphones are equipped with locking connectors that connect to the 3-pin mini XLR connectors on the CB288 bodypack transmitters. Each transmitter features a belt clip for hands-free use and is powered by two AA batteries, offering up to 8 hours of operation with a transmission range of up to 300 feet. The CR288 dual-channel tabletop receiver provides 16 selectable UHF frequencies to ensure a clean, interference-free transmission. The infrared sync feature allows for quick synchronization of the transmitters to the receiver with a simple button press. The front panel includes dual 7-segment LEDs indicating the operating channels, two volume controls, two external antennas, and indicators for Ready and Peak status. On the rear, the receiver has individual balanced XLR outputs for routing signals to two separate mixer channels, as well as a single 1/4" unbalanced mix output that combines both signals into one channel for direct connection to a PA speaker. The system can be expanded with additional transmitters and receivers, enabling up to 24 systems (48 performers) to function simultaneously under optimal conditions. Included are rackmounting accessories for the receiver, a power supply, and a 1/4" to 1/4" connecting cable.
