SAMSON CONCERT XD2 CBXD2 (01) PDF SUMMARY:

How do I properly set up the antennas on the CRXD2 Receiver?

The antenna mountings allow for full rotation to optimize placement. Antenna orientation depends on user application, room reflections, and so on. Samson suggests positioning the antennas at a 45-degree angle or straight up and down. Both antennas can be folded inward for convenience when transporting the CRXD2 Receiver.

---

What information is displayed on the CRXD2 Receiver’s LCD Screen?

The LCD Screen displays the operating condition of the CRXD2, menus, and other functions.

---

How do I use the Multifunction Control on the CRXD2 Receiver?

The Multifunction Control is an endless encoder with a push button. In the default condition, rotating the knob clockwise will increase the CRXD2’s volume, while rotating it counter-clockwise will reduce the volume. Pushing the knob in will access the menu options/edit mode.

---

How do I power the CRXD2 Receiver on and off?

To power on the CRXD2, push and hold the Power Button for 2 seconds. To turn it off, give the Power Button a quick press.

What type of connections are available on the rear panel of the CRXD2 Receiver?

The rear panel includes a DC Input for the power adapter, a MIXED/2TK OUTPUT (1/4" unbalanced jack), and two balanced XLR outputs (CH A OUT and CH B OUT).

---

What kind of power adapter should I use with the CRXD2 Receiver?

Use only the supplied power adapter. Do not substitute any other kind of power adapter, as doing so can cause severe damage to the CRXD2 and will void your warranty.

---

How do I connect the CRXD2 Receiver to consumer-level audio equipment?

Use the MIXED/2TK OUTPUT (1/4" unbalanced jack) when connecting to consumer (-10 dBV) audio equipment. Depending on your application, this output can be mixed to mono (CH A + CH B) via the menu. The wiring is as follows: tip = CH A, ring = CH B, sleeve = ground.

---

How do I connect the CRXD2 Receiver to professional-level audio equipment?

Use the CH A OUT BALANCED or CH B OUT BALANCED XLR jacks for connecting to professional (+4 dBu) audio equipment. These are electronically balanced low impedance (600 Ohm) outputs. The wiring is as follows: Pin 1 = ground, Pin 2 = hot, and Pin 3 = cold.

---

How do I power on/off and mute/unmute the CHXD2 Handheld Transmitter?

Press and hold the Power/Mute Button to turn the unit on. A quick press and release will mute or un-mute the transmitter (when it is on). Press and hold for 2 seconds to power it off.

What are the different status indicator colors on the CHXD2, and their meaning?

The status indicator displays the operating condition of the transmitter using the follow colors:

LED Color	Function
Solid GREEN	Paired/Normal
Quick Flashing RED to AMBER	Pairing
Slow Flashing RED	Low Battery
Solid RED	Mute

---

How do I adjust input sensitivity on the CHXD2?

Use the Input GAIN Control. The default setting from the factory is 12 o’clock. If your voice sounds too soft, turn the control clockwise (using the supplied screwdriver) until an adequate level is reached (before distortion). If your voice is distorting, turn the control counter-clockwise until it sounds clear.

---

What is the purpose of the screwdriver included with the CHXD2?

The screwdriver is designed for adjusting the GAIN control on the CHXD2 transmitter.

---

How do I access the CHXD2’s battery compartment?

Connect an LM10 lavalier microphone to the 1/8" (3.5 mm) input jack.

---

What are the different status indicator colors on the CBXD2, and their meaning?

The status indicator displays the operating condition of the transmitter using the follow colors:

LED Color	Function
Solid GREEN	Paired/Normal
Quick Flashing RED to AMBER	Pairing
Slow Flashing RED	Low Battery
Solid RED	Mute

---

How should the CBXD2’s antenna be positioned?

The antenna is permanently attached and should be fully extended at all times for optimal performance.

---

How can I attach the CBXD2 to myself?

Use the Belt Clip to affix the CBXD2 to your belt or elsewhere on your person, as the application sees fit.

---

How do I adjust the input sensitivity on the CBXD2?

Use the Input GAIN Control. The default setting is 12 o’clock. If your voice sounds too soft, turn the control clockwise (using the supplied screwdriver) until an adequate level is reached (before distortion). If your voice is distorting, turn it counter-clockwise until it sounds clear.

---

What is the screwdriver included with the CBXD2 used for?

The screwdriver is designed for adjusting the GAIN control on the CBXD2 transmitter.

How to set up Concert XD2 Wireless System? Follow this basic procedure to setting up the system.

1. Physically place the CRXD2 receiver where it will be used, and extend the antennas vertically or at a 45-degree angle. Ensure there is a “line of sight” between the receiver and transmitter.
2. With the CRXD2 powered off, connect the power adapter.
3. Connect the CRXD2 receiver output to a mixer or amplifier. Use either the XLR or 1/4" outputs. Turn the amplifier/mixer volume all the way down. Power on the CRXD2 to confirm it is receiving power, then power it down.
4. Install two new “AA” batteries into the CHXD2 (or CBXD2) transmitter.
5. Power on the CRXD2 by pressing and holding the power button.
6. Turn on the CHXD2 transmitter by pressing and holding the power/mute button; the indicator will light YELLOW, then turn GREEN.
7. Turn on the connected amplifier or mixer, keep the volume down, speak or sing into the microphone at normal levels, then slowly raise the volume of your amplifier or mixer.

---

How do I pair the CHXD2 or CBXD2 transmitters with the CRXD2 receiver?

1. Push the rotary encoder (MENU) in to enter and adjust menu options.
2. Highlight “CHANNEL A” or “CHANNEL B” and push the button to select.
3. The LCD screen will display “…pairing”.
4. Turn on the power to the CHXD2 (or CBXD2) transmitter, then press and hold for more than 3 seconds. The LED will change from quick flashing RED to quick flashing AMBER, indicating the transmitter is in pairing mode.
5. If pairing is successful, the display for the selected channel will show RF, AF, and battery level.
6. If pairing is unsuccessful, the display will read “NOT CONNECTED”.

---

How do I navigate and use the CRXD2 Receiver’s menu?

1. Push the rotary encoder (MENU) in to enter and adjust menu options.
2. Rotate the MENU knob clockwise to scroll through the features.
3. Push the MENU knob to access the highlighted feature/function.

---

Can I adjust the volume of each receiver channel (A and B) independently?

Yes. The MENU allows you to adjust the volume level of each receiver (CHANNEL A and B) independently. Note that the default state of the rotary control is master volume, controlling both channels A and B.

---

What are the MIX and 2 CH modes, and how do I use them?

These modes help with signal routing. You can use two individual XLR outputs (one for A and one for B) for 2 CH mode. Or, you can switch to MIX mode and use the unbalanced 1/4" output, which combines both CHANNEL A and CHANNEL B into a single output. Choose the mode that best suits your mixer’s input options.

---

How can I rack mount the CRXD2 Receiver?

You can install the CRXD2 into a standard 19-inch rack mount system. One CRXD2 unit occupies a single 1U space. Attach the included rack brackets (ears) to the sides of the unit with the provided mounting screws. When securing the unit to the rack, use a crisscross pattern.

---

How can I mount two CRXD2 in the same rack?

To do this, you will require a joining plate, this can be ordered from an authorized Samson dealer.
