The Concert 288 Dual-Channel Wireless Handheld Microphone System with Q6 Capsules (Band I) from Samson offers a high-performance UHF wireless solution where the freedom of mobility is required for two performers simultaneously. It’s suitable for pairs of singers, business professionals, educators, and others looking for clear sound and versatility without cables.

The frequency-agile Concert 288 allows for up to 20 systems (40 performers) to perform simultaneously across two frequency bands. It gives both performers a 300’ range of wireless operation between the transmitters and receiver, making the system suitable for large stages and crowd participation. To ensure interference-free performance, the Concert 288 features a true-diversity design. In case a dropout occurs, the receiver’s Tone Key and Auto Mute functions eliminate any background noise until the signal is restored.

Featuring a user-friendly front panel, the CR288 Wireless Receiver provides the system with fast and easy setup. The CR288 provides two Select buttons for auto syncing the receiver and transmitter channels via an infrared signal, allowing you to find your optimal channel. The panel also contains a dual seven-segment LED for the operating channels, two volume knobs, two tuned antennas as well as Ready and Peak indicators for optimal functionality and monitoring. The back of the receiver features two separate balanced XLR outputs for routing signals to two separate channels on a mixer as well as a 1/4” unbalanced mix output that condense both signals to a single channel for a direct connection into a PA speaker (not included).

The Concert 288 Handheld System features two CH288 handheld wireless transmitters with Q6 dynamic, supercardioid mic capsules. The transmitters, which can operate for up to eight hours on two AA batteries each, are engineered to provide the ultimate in sound reproduction.
