Samson XD2 Overview
Crystal-Clear Audio for 2-People Vocal Performances and Presentations
Ideal for two people performing in pairs, the Samson Concert XD2 is a versatile, two-channel wireless microphone system that delivers high-quality, uncompressed digital audio for a wide range of applications including presentations, live performances, karaoke, interviews, education, theater production, and house-of-worship. The system includes two handheld microphones each equipped with a premium Q8 supercardioid/dynamic mic capsule designed to bring a high level of accuracy to vocal-miking applications.
Operating in the license-free 1.9 GHz band, Concert XD2 avoids interference from TV, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth signals, ensuring reliable wireless transmission up to 300'. With automatic channel selection and simple pairing, setup and operation are hassle-free. Each microphone offers up to 8 hours of continuous operation with 2 AA batteries.
Digital Sound-Delivery Precision
- Concert XD2's advanced digital wireless technology delivers a higher signal-to-noise ratio than analog wireless, ensuring a clear and pristine audio signal.
- The system's extended dynamic range captures a wide spectrum of vocal nuance, preserving everything from the softest whisper to the loudest scream.
- Powered by the Sheersound audio codec, this system enables wireless transmission with low latency and superior audio quality.
Perform in Pairs
- The microphones feature Q8 microphone capsules that excel in both live performance and presentation applications.
- Thanks to its neodymium dynamic mic element, the capsule provides a linear frequency response for superior reproduction, with the capability to withstand high sound-pressure levels up to 150 dB.
- Extremely sensitive, the Q8 employs a tight, supercardioid pickup pattern to reduce feedback.
- A special shock-mounted element minimizes handling noise and provides additional protection.
Dual-Channel Receiver
- The half-rack, 1 RU receiver features a high-contrast color display with easy-to-read audio, RF, and battery-level indicators.
- Each channel has a balanced XLR output and there is a single 1/4" TRS output that can be set to 2-channel or mono routing options.
Benefits of the 1.9 GHz Band
- Unlike more crowded frequency bands, such as 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz, the clear 1.9 GHz spectrum remains free of interference, ensuring seamless, uninterrupted communication. The 1.9 GHz signal can travel well inside buildings and maintains a strong connection over moderate distances. This makes it ideal for use in conference rooms and auditoriums.
- In addition to providing a clear signal, the 1.9 GHz band provides an extended wireless range, up to 300'-great for outdoor events with a clear line of sight.
