  If you're not getting any sound from your Samson Microphone system, start by checking if both the transmitter and receiver are powered on. Ensure the transmitter's batteries are correctly installed and that the transmitter isn't muted. Confirm the CR88 adapter is properly connected to a working electrical outlet and that the CR88 receiver is also turned on. Verify the CR88 audio output connections are secure and that the receiver and transmitter have a clear line of sight. Finally, check the level controls on both the receiver and the audio input device, and ensure the transmitter and receiver are set to the same operating channel; if unsure, reset the channel using an IR set.

  Katherine MendezAug 1, 2025
  If you're experiencing distorted audio with your Samson Microphone system, one potential cause is that the receiver output level or the audio input device level is set too high. Also, check the transmitter's batteries and replace them if they are low. Another possible cause is that the input gain on the transmitter (CB88) or the audio source level may be too high.

  If you're getting unwanted noise or interference with your Samson Microphone system and are using multiple systems, ensure that none of them are operating on the same channel. If the issue continues, try changing the channels on one or all of the systems.

  If you're experiencing audio dropouts with your Samson Microphone system, it could be that the transmitter is too far from the receiver. Try moving the transmitter closer to the receiver or repositioning the antennas. Also, try removing any potential sources of RF interference, such as cell phones, cordless phones, lighting equipment, computers, or metal structures.
