Q: 2. Can I pair two receivers with a single transmitter? I want one receiver at the front of the room for the PA, and the other near the rear of the room for the video camera so I don't have to run cables.

A: We have not tested the Samson XPD2 wireless system using two receivers. It may not work so well since the receiver is built into a USB stick and needs to be powered by USB, which isn't a good option for use with a camera and you could have delay with the audio going to the camera. If you do need to send the audio from the PA to the camera wirelessly, you may want to use a separate wireless system that accepts line level input signal like the Wi Digital Wi AudioStream Pro AV Portable Digital Wireless Lavalier System (B&H # WIASPAV). We do have other options if you want to use a different wireless mic system with a headset mic and two receivers. Please contact our pro audio department by phone or through live chat on the website and we can assist you to find the best option for your needs.

A: The Samson XPD2 Headset USB Digital Wireless System was not intended for use with a camera, but it can be adapted to work. The receiver for the XPD2 System requires USB bus power, so it will need to be connected to a USB wall charger or a USB power bank, like you would use to charge a smartphone, and the output from the receiver's 3.5mm headphone jack can be connected to an audio input on the camera using a standard aux cable like the Kopul CMX-RC30 Right-Angle Coiled Stereo Mini Cable (B&H # KOCMXRC30B).
