Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the Samson Concert 288 dual channel wireless system. The Concert 288 is the ideal solution for the any application requiring two wireless microphones. Featuring simple operation, with 16 available channels per receiver and infrared set for the transmitter channel, the Concert 288 can quickly be up and running out of the box. The Concert 288 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 288 comes in four configurations. The dual handheld system includes two CH288 handheld transmitters with Q6 dynamic microphone capsule. The Pro Combo system has one CH288 handheld transmitter plus a CB288 belt pack transmitter and the Samson SE10 earset microphone. The All-In-One Combo system includes one CH288 handheld transmitter, one CB288 beltpack transmitter, one HS5 headset microphone and one LM5 lavalier microphone. The Presentation System includes two CB288 belt pack transmitters, two HS5 headset microphones and two LM5 lavelier microphones. For travel or permanent installation, the Concert 288 includes a standard 19" rackmount kit.

In these pages, you'll find a detailed description of the features of the Concert 288 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.

Quick Start

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 288 wireless system:

Physically place the CR288 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 CR288 powered off, connect the included power adapter. Turn the CR288 on momentarily to confirm that the unit is receiving power. You'll see the LED display light up. Then turn the CR288 power off.

With your amplifier or mixer off and volume control all the way down, connect the CR288 receiver mix output jack to the line level input of a mixer or amplifier. Turn the Level knob on the CR288 completely counterclockwise, then turn its power on.

Quick Start

With the transmitter powered off, install two fresh AA batteries into the CB288 belt pack or CH288 handheld transmitter. Leave the battery compartment open.

Quick Start

Press the CH A SELECT button on the front of the CR288 to choose an available channel for the CH A reciver. 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.

Quick Start

When the transmission is complete, the CR288 will receive RF signal and the tone key from the transmitter. The CH A READY indicator will light on the front panel of the CR288 receiver. Repeat these steps for the CH B transmitter and receiver. CH A and CH B available frequency channels do not overlap, so you can set the two receivers to the same channel number or letter.

RAM SAMSON

Turn on your connected amplifier or mixer, but keep the volume all the way down. Set the Volume knob on the CR288 fully clockwise (to its “10” setting). This is unity gain.

SAMSON Concert 88x - Quick Start - 2

Speak or sing into the microphone. 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.

When using multiple systems in the same frequency band, each system must be set to a different operating channel. (See "Concert 288 Channel Plans" on page 18).

Rack Mounting

The CR288 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 CR288:

Attach the included rack ears by sliding each rack ear into the groove on either side of the CR288 until they lock into place, and the receiver flush with the front panel.

Position the CR288 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.

SAMSON Concert 88x - Rack Mounting - 2

natural_image Line drawing of a SAMSON wireless device enclosure with two antennas and a central switch (no text or symbols on the device itself)

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 CR288 receivers in one rack space, the system includes a center connection piece. Slide the center connection piece into the groove of each receiver, secure using the included screws, 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 AudioMake 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 CR288 adaptor is correctly connected and plugged into an electrical outlet.
Make sure the CR288 is powered on.
Make sure the CR288 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 AudioThe 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 (CB288) or audio source level may be too high.
Audio DropoutThe 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 onCheck 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 interferenceIf 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.
