  Jermaine ReidJul 26, 2025
  If your Samson Microphone system has no audio, verify that both the transmitter and receiver are powered on. Ensure the transmitter’s batteries are correctly installed and that the transmitter is not muted. Confirm the CR88 adapter is correctly connected to a working electrical outlet and that the CR88 receiver is turned on. Check that the CR88 audio output connections are secure and that the receiver and transmitter have a clear line of sight. Review the receiver and audio input device level controls, and ensure the transmitter and receiver are set to the same operating channel, resetting the channel via IR set if needed.

  If you are experiencing distorted audio with your Samson Microphone system, check the transmitter's batteries and replace them if they are low. Also, the receiver output level or audio input device level may be too high. Additionally, the input gain on the transmitter (CB88) or audio source level may be too high.

  Audio dropout in your Samson Microphone system can occur if the transmitter is too far from the receiver. Try moving the transmitter closer to the receiver or repositioning the antennas. Also, remove any potential sources of RF interference like cell phones, cordless phones, lighting equipment, computers, or metal structures.
