Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the Samson Concert 88 wireless system. The Concert 88 is the ideal solution for the active performer who needs a reliable, great sounding system for wireless applications. Featuring simple operation, with 16 available channels and infrared set for the transmitter channel, the Concert 88 can quickly be up and running out of the box. The Concert 88 system ensures clear, interruption-free performance by combining tone-key with auto-mute. This configuration allows only the transmitter's audio to pass through the receiver, and mutes the output if there is any interference.

The Concert 88 comes in four configurations. The vocal handheld system includes the CH88 handheld transmitter and dynamic microphone capsule. The CB88 belt pack system can be configured with either the HS5 headset microphone, LM5 lava-lier microphone, or a 14 " instrument cable. For travel or permanent installation, the Concert 88 includes a standard 19" rackmount kit.

In these pages, you'll find a detailed description of the features of the Concert 88 wireless system, as well as a guided tour through its control panel, step-by-step instructions for its setup and use, and full specifications. If your wireless system was purchased in the United States, you'll also find a warranty card enclosed—don't forget to fill it out and mail it in so that you can receive online technical support and so that we can send you updated information about this and other Samson products in the future. Also, be sure to check out our website (www.samsontech.com) for complete information about our full product line.

Quick Start - Single System Setup

In order for your wireless system to work correctly, both the receiver and transmitter must be set to the same channel.

Follow this basic procedure for setting up and using your Concert 88 wireless system:

Physically place the CR88 receiver where it will be used, and extend the antennas vertically. The general rule of thumb is to maintain “line of sight” between the receiver and transmitter so that the person using or wearing the transmitter can see the receiver.

With the CR88 powered off, connect the included power adapter. Turn the CR88 on momentarily to confirm that the unit is receiving power. You'll see the LED display light up. Then turn the CR88 power off.

With your amplifier or mixer off and volume control all the way down, connect the CR88 receiver output jack to the mic or line level input of a mixer or amplifier using the balanced XLR output or unbalanced 14 " line level output. Turn the Level knob on the CR88 completely counterclockwise, then turn its power on.

Turn on your connected amplifier or mixer, but keep the volume all the way down. Set the Volume knob on the CR88 fully clockwise (to its “10” setting). This is unity gain.

SAMSON 2 0.257

Speak or sing into the microphone, or if you are using the transmitter with a connected instrument, play the instrument at normal performance level. Slowly raise the volume of your amplifier or mixer until the desired level is reached.

If you find the system has noticeable dropouts, reduced overall working range, or unexpected noise bursts, change the operating channel of the system using the steps above.

Quick Start - Multiple System Setup

When using multiple systems, each system must be set to a different operating channel. Transmitter and receiver pairs must be on the same channel plan in order to work together (See "Concert 88 Channel Plans" on page 20).

When setting an additional transmitter, make sure to close all other transmitter battery compartments to ensure that the IR Lens is covered.

To change the operating channel of a system, press the SELECT button on the front of the CR88 receiver. The channel number will increase by one digit, from 0-9 then A-F. Once the last channel has been reached, the count will cycle back to 0.

Position the transmitter about 6-12" (15-30 cm) from the front of the CR88 with the transmitter's IR window facing the receiver's IR transmitter.

Press and hold the CR88 SELECT button to synch the transmitter to the same channel as the receiver via infrared transmission.

When the transmission is complete, and the CR88 is receiving RF signal from the transmitter, the READY indicator will light on the front panel of the CR88 receiver.

If you find the system has noticeable dropouts, reduced overall working range, or unexpected noise bursts, change the operating channel of the system using the steps above.

Rack Mounting

The CR88 receiver can be installed into a standard 19" rack for transport or permanent installation using the included rack ears. Follow the simple steps below to mount the CR88:

Attach the included rack ears by sliding each rack ear into the groove on either side of the CR88 until they lock into place, and the receiver flush with the front panel.

Diagram showing a mechanical component with a bracket and attached hook, no text or symbols present

Position the CR88 receiver into an available rack space and slide in until the rack ears are touching the rails of the rack case and are aligned with the rack rail holes.

Mount the receiver into the rack using the appropriate size rack screws (not included). To ensure equal tension and balance when installing the receiver, you should secure screws in a crisscross pattern of opposite corners: top left -> bottom right -> top right -> bottom left.

In order to mount two CR88 receivers in one rack space, the system includes a center connection piece. Slide the center connection piece into the groove of each receiver and attach the short rack ears to each receiver. Mount the receivers into the rack using the crisscross pattern described above.

Troubleshooting

Issue Solutions
No Audio	Make sure that the transmitter and receiver are both powered on.
	Ensure the transmitter's batteries are installed correctly.
	Check that the transmitter is not muted.
	Confirm that the CR88 adaptor is correctly connected and plugged into an electrical outlet.
	Turn on the CR88 receiver.
	Make sure the CR88 audio output connections are securely connected.
	Ensure that the receiver and transmitter are in line of sight with one another.
	Check the receiver and audio input device level controls.
	Ensure that the transmitter and receiver are set to the same operating channel. If unsure, reset the channel by performing an IR set.
Distorted Audio	The receiver output level or audio input device level may be too high.
	Check the transmitters batteries, and replace if low.
	The input gain on the transmitter (CB88) or audio source level may be too high.
Audio Dropout	The transmitter may be too far away from the receiver. Move it closer to the receiver, or reposition the antennas.
	Remove any sources that may cause RF interference such as cell phones, cordless phones, lighting equipment, computers, metal structures, etc.
Receiver will not power on	Check the adaptor to ensure it is properly connected and plugged into an outlet providing power.
Transmitter will not power on (LED lights RED)	Replace the transmitter batteries.
Unwanted noise or interference	If using multiple systems, make sure none of the systems are operating on the same channel. If the problem persists, change one or all of the systems channels.
