Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Samson Concert 99 wireless system. The Concert 99 is the ideal
solution for the active performer who needs a reliable, great sounding system for wireless applications. Featuring an large backlit LCD display, simple operation with auto-scan channel selection, and
infrared set for syncing the transmitter and receiver channel, the Concert 99 is simple and easy to
set up and operate. The Concert 99 system ensures clear, interruption-free performance by utilizing
a True RF Diversity design with a pilot tone-key and auto-mute function. This configuration provides
maximum operating distance along with eliminating any background noise when the transmitter is
out of range or powered off.
The Concert 99 comes in four configurations. The vocal handheld system includes the CH99 handheld transmitter with Samson’s Q8 premium dynamic microphone capsule. The CB99 belt pack system can be configured with either the SE10 earset microphone, LM10 lavalier microphone, or a ¼"
instrument cable. The Concert 99 includes a standard 19" rackmount kit for permanent installations
or transporting in a mobile rack.
In these pages, you’ll find a detailed description of the features of the Concert 99 wireless system, as
well as step-by-step instructions for its setup and use. If your wireless system was purchased in the
United States, you’ll also find a registration card enclosed—don’t forget to follow the instructions so that
you can receive online technical support and so that we can send you updated information about this
and other Samson products in the future. Also, be sure to check out our website www.samsontech.com
