Introduction / System Features

Congratulations on purchasing the Samson Concert Series UHF Wireless System! Although this
product is designed for easy operation, we suggest you first take some time to go through these
pages so you can fully understand how we've implemented a number of unique features.
Every wireless system consists of at least two components—a transmitter and a receiver, both of
which must be tuned to the same channel (that is, the same radio frequency) in order to operate
correctly.* The Samson Concert Series system you have purchased operates in the 801 - 805 MHz
frequency range and contains a CR77 receiver and either our CT7 belt-pack transmitter (for lava-
lier, wind instrument, headset microphone applications and instrument applications) or the HT7
hand-held microphone transmitter (available with the Samson Q7 dynamic or C05 condenser
capsules).
In this manual, you'll find a detailed description of the features of the Concert Series Wireless
system, as well as a guided tour through all components, step-by-step instructions for setting up
your system, wiring diagrams and tables, and full specifications. If your Concert Series system
was purchased in the United States, you'll also find a warranty card enclosed—don't forget to
fill it out and mail it! This will enable you to receive online technical support and will allow us
to send you updated information about this and other Samson products in the future. If your
Concert Series Wireless system was purchased outside of the U. S., contact your local distributor
for warranty details.
SPECIAL NOTE for U.S. purchasers: Should your Concert Series Wireless system ever require servic-
ing, a Return Authorization number (RA) is necessary. Without this number, the unit will not be
accepted. If your Concert SeriesWireless system was purchased in the United States, please call
Samson at 1-800-372-6766 for a Return Authorization number prior to shipping your unit. If pos-
sible, return the unit in its original carton and packing materials. If your Concert SeriesWireless
system was purchased outside of the U. S., contact your local distributor for servicing information.
* Your receiver and transmitter have been factory preset to utilize the same channel. A listing of
the six available channels and their corresponding UHF frequencies can be found on page 4 of
this manual.
System Features

Series Wireless System provides a high performance, cost effective solution, utilizing state-of-the-
art technology in wireless communications. Main features include:

• Technological breakthrough usage of Dielectric filters for extremely precise and stable tuning.
• Diversity technology maximizes active range (up to 300 feet) and reduces potential interference
problems.
