Overview:
Samson’s Concert 88 Presentation System offers a high performance UHF wireless solution where the freedom of mobility is a must. It’s perfect for business professionals, educators and others looking for stunning sound and versatility without cables.
- The frequency-agile Concert 88 system allows for up to 16 systems to operate simultaneously across two frequency bands with up to 300 feet separating the receiver and transmitter. At the core of the system is the CR88 Wireless Receiver.
- Featuring a true diversity design, the CR88 minimizes signal dropouts during performance. If a dropout does occur, the CR88’s tone key and auto mute functions eliminate any background noise until the signal is restored.
The CR88 receiver’s front panel provides a Select button for auto syncing receiver and transmitter channels via an infrared signal. The panel also features a 7-segment Channel LED, Volume knob, Power button, two tuned antennas, as well as Audio and Ready indicators, for optimal functionality and monitoring. Balanced XLR and 1/4-inch outputs can be found on the receiver’s back panel.
- The Concert 88 Presentation System features the CB88 Beltpack Transmitter and LM5 Lavalier Microphone with a locking connector. The transmitter, which can operate for up to eight hours on two AA batteries, is engineered to the finest detail to provide the ultimate in sound reproduction.

1.) Antennas - The antenna mountings allow full rotation for optimum placement. In normal operation, both antennas should be placed in a vertical position. Both antennas can be folded inward for convenience when transporting the CR88
2.) VOLUME Control - This knob sets the level of the audio signal being output through both the balanced and unbalanced output jacks on the rear panel.
3.) Ready Indicator – This indicator lights green when the CR88 is receiving RF signal and the system is ready to use.
4.) PEAK Indicator - This indicator lights red when the transmitted audio signal is overloaded
5.) LED Display - The 7-segment LED display shows the receiver's current operating channel. The CR88 channels are indicated by 0-9 and A-F
6.) IR Transmitter - During “IR SET” an infrared light is used to set the transmitter channel.
7.) SELECT Button – Press this button to cycle through the receiver’s operating channels.
8.) Power Switch – Use this t turn the CR88 power on or off.
1. )DC Input - Connect the supplied power adapter here, using the strain relief. WARNING: Do not substitute any other kind of power adapter. Doing so can cause severe damage to the CR88 and will void your warranty.
2.) BALANCED OUTPUT - Use this electronically balanced low impedance (600 Ohm) XLR jack when connecting the CR88 to professional (+4dBu) audio equipment. Pin wiring is as follows: Pin 1 ground, Pin 2 high (hot), and Pin 3 low (cold).
3.) UNBALANCED OUTPUT - Use this unbalanced high impedance (5K Ohm) ¼" jack when connecting the CR88 to consumer (-10dBV) audio equipment. Wiring is as follows: tip hot, sleeve ground
CB88 Receiver Front Panel Features:
1.) Input Connector - Connect the input device via the mini-XLR connector. The CB88 is supplied with either a lavalier, headset microphone or ¼" instrument cable.
2.) Status Indicator - This LED displays the operation mode: GREEN : Normal Operation; RED: Mute ;FLASHING GREEN: Low Battery
3.) Power/Mute Switch - Press and hold to turn the unit on or off. Press and release to mute or unmute the transmitter.
4.) Belt Clip - Use this clip to fasten the CB88 transmitter to a belt or guitar strap.
5.) Battery Cover Release – Push in both sides and pull back to open the CR88 battery cover
6.) Antenna- This permanently attached transmitter antenna should be fully extended during normal operation
7.) Input GAIN Control - This control adjusts the transmitter input sensitivity to work with microphone and instruments inputs. For optimal performance, using the included screwdriver, set the input GAIN control to where you see the CR88 PEAK indicator start to light under high levels, then turn down slowly until the PEAK light stops lighting.
8.) Battery Holder - Insert two standard AA (LR6) batteries here, being sure to observe the plus and minus polarity markings shown. Although rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries can be used, they do not supply adequate current for more than four hours. WARNING: Do not insert the batteries backwards; doing so can cause severe damage to the CB88 and will void your warranty.
9.) IR Lens - This window is used to capture the infrared signal sent from the CR88 during the IR SET to channelize the transmitter
10.) Plastic Screwdriver - Designed for use in adjusting the CB88 input GAIN control
