Samson has just released a few new products for the NAMM 2012 show, but my favorite of the bunch is the Stage 266 Dual Wireless Microphone system.

They are advertised as having the best clarity amongst most wireless microphone systems. Perhaps we will get a set in the lab for a full video review. Check out the press release inside.
