Not so good

My first cordless mics were VHF Samson back in the 80's and I loved them. How ever, this mic is not very good. The sound is thin, and there is a lot of static. I tried changing channels and still has noise. The case is nice. I am going to do more testing

About Samson Concert 88

FEATURED REVIEWS

Excellent Mic

By Robert E.

Works great with the Canon XA50 Camcorder

While capturing high-quality audio for your film and video productions, the Concert 88 UHF Camera Wireless Handheld Microphone System from Samson offers unparalleled wireless freedom. This professional-grade system is designed to cater to a broad spectrum of filming applications, featuring a handheld microphone transmitter equipped with a Q8 unidirectional dynamic mic element.

The Concert 88 Camera system stands out with its 16 selectable frequencies over a 25 MHz bandwidth, ensuring reliable, interference-free performance in any location. The system operates within the dependable UHF frequency band, steering clear of interference from wireless routers and other handheld devices. The selectable frequency options make it ideal for multi-location shoots, while the tone key and auto mute circuit ensure the receiver's output is silenced when the transmitter is powered off or out of range.

The low-profile CR88V receiver, which can be mounted directly onto any camera with a cold shoe mount or clipped onto a shoulder strap, offers 12 hours of battery life from a single removable lithium-ion rechargeable battery. To minimize downtime, two batteries are included in the package. The receiver also features a headphone output with an independent level control, allowing you to monitor the received signal without affecting the output signal. The system is compatible with a wide range of cameras, thanks to the included 1/8" and XLR output cables.

Audio is transmitted to the CR88V Micro Wireless Receiver via the CH88 Handheld Transmitter, which features the Samson Q8 unidirectional dynamic microphone. This microphone is specifically designed to capture clean and intelligible speech. The transmitter offers eight hours of battery life using two AA batteries (not included) and features a variable Gain control, as well as a one-touch Mute button.

In summary, the Concert 88 UHF Camera Wireless Handheld Microphone System is a comprehensive solution for capturing professional-grade audio in any filming scenario. Its compatibility with HD camcorders and DSLR cameras, long battery life, and reliable UHF operation make it a standout choice for videographers and filmmakers.
