Introduction / System Features

Congratulations on purchasing the Samson CR277 Dual Microphone Wireless System! The CR277 system is the perfect solution for any application requiring two, high quality, wireless microphones in a compact package. The system features the CR277 dual channel, diversity receiver including dual antennas, vivid RF meters and Peak indicators for each channel, plus individual and mixed balanced outputs jacks. Also included are two HT7 handheld microphone transmitters fitted with the Samson Q7 dynamic microphone element. The Q7 produces a robust and articulate sound thanks to its extended frequency response and its cardioid pick-up pattern greatly reduces the chance of feedback. With the CR277 system, you’ll have great sound quality with clear reception and the ability to walk freely around your venue. For live sound, karaoke, school, conferences, and Houses of Worship the CR277 is an ideal solution for dual channel wireless microphones providing outstanding performance and reliably.

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. Your wireless system consists of three components— two microphone transmitters and a dual channel receiver, which must be tuned to the same channels (that is, the same radio frequency) in order to operate correctly.

The Samson Concert Series system you have purchased operates in the HDTV free UHF frequency range and contains a CR277 dual channel receiver and two of our HT7 handheld microphone transmitters with the Samson Q7 dynamic capsule.

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-bystep 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. Also, be sure to check out our website (www.samsontech.com) for complete information about our full

product line.
