Samson Concert 88x Handheld (CL6) - Handheld UHF Wireless System, K Band 470–494 MHz

The Samson Concert 88x Handheld System is a UHF wireless system designed for those who need clear vocals, reliable operation, and quick setup. It features one-touch auto-scanning to locate the cleanest channel within 100 frequencies ( 25 MHz bandwidth) and infrared synchronization between transmitter and receiver. The CR88x half-rack receiver features true diversity architecture with pilot tone and auto-mute to minimize dropouts and noise, offering a range of up to 300 ft / 91 m line-of-sight. In this family, the CH88 handheld transmitter mounts a supercardioid dynamic capsule (Q series), with adjustable gain , silent mute , and up to 8 hours of battery life on 2 AA batteries. The K band (470–494 MHz) allows up to 8 simultaneous systems per band (depending on regional regulations) and the receiver is easily integrated thanks to its balanced XLR and 6.35 mm jack outputs, in addition to the included 19” rack kit .
