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. This dual VHF transmitter has a volume knob for each microphone and each handheld microphone runs on a 9-Volt battery that is good for a 10-hour run time. 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.
