Overview

The Samson Concert 288m is a dual-channel UHF wireless microphone system built for applications requiring two simultaneous handheld microphones, such as duets, panel discussions, karaoke nights, and presentations. The system pairs two handheld transmitters equipped with Q8x dynamic microphone capsules with the AR299M tabletop receiver, which provides separate volume controls for each wireless channel. This independent channel management allows sound operators to balance two speakers or vocalists without an external mixer, though dual balanced XLR outputs also enable routing each mic to separate mixer channels for more advanced setups. Additional 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch outputs provide connectivity to a wide range of audio equipment.

Operating in the UHF band with a 24 MHz frequency range, the Concert 288m offers multiple selectable frequencies to help avoid interference in crowded RF environments. Up to 24 systems can be deployed simultaneously in the same venue, making it scalable for large events with many wireless microphones. The system provides wireless coverage up to 300 feet, and each handheld transmitter runs for up to 8 hours on two standard AA batteries, eliminating the need for proprietary battery packs. The compact tabletop receiver design keeps the setup portable and quick to deploy, making the Concert 288m well-suited for mobile DJs, event hosts, and houses of worship that value simplicity and reliability.
