General

With the Shure BLX188 wireless system, you can send the sound of two guitars or a guitar and bass guitar to your mixer wirelessly. It's excellent system for bands that are looking for a well-functioning, yet affordable and easy-to-use wireless solution. You can connect your electric or electro-acoustic instrument to one of the lightweight BLX1 bodypacks using one of the included WA302 guitar cables. Simply let the system pick a suitable frequency via the QuickScan function, and then the transmitter is ready to reliably transfer the signal to the BLX88 dual receiver. You can connect the receiver to your mixer or active speaker via the jack or XLR output.

The Shure BLX188: Easy to Use

You don't need to be a sound technician to set this system up. Since the Shure BLX88 system features sensitive built-in antennas, you don't need to endlessly twist them in an attempt to improve reception. What's more, the QuickScan function automatically finds a clean channel for an interference-free connection with the BLX-1 transmitters. Meanwhile, the beltpacks not only offer a 90-metre wireless range, but up to 14 hours of performance on two AA batteries.
