General

Shure's BLX series - a range of wireless transmitters and receivers - offers affordable yet professional solutions for vocals, speech and music. This extensive wireless set consists of two BLX2 transmitters with SM58 microphone heads and a double receiver, the BLX88. Setting the microphones up is a quick and easy job. As such, the setup is suited for beginners as well as professionals and ideal for musicians and sound engineers that often have to change location.

Two Shure BLX2 Handheld Transmitters with SM58 Microphone Capsules

The two BLX2 handheld transmitters in this set are both equipped with an SM58 microphone capsule. The SM58 is a household name in the music industry. You will see it everywhere, from the most obscure rehearsal spaces to large concerts and festivals. This is because it is very robust, it registers speech and vocals very well and it is insensitive to feedback. The BLX2 UHF handheld transmitter has a range of maximum 90 metres and is powered by two AA batteries. It has a battery life of up to 14 hours!

Shure BLX88 Dual Receiver

The Shure BLX88 is a double version of the Shure BLX4. Its powerful antennas have been incorporated inside the housing, so there's no need for endless manual adjustments to ensure decent reception. The BLX88 will still receive the signal of the two microphones at a distance of up to 90 metres! Thanks to Shure QuickScan an interference-free signal is found via the push of a button. That is all you have to do!

Top product van Shure. Wij zijn een school met tot kort geleden de robuuste Shure SM58 bekabelde versie.
De overstap naar draadloos is een goede keuze geweest, de zelfde geluidskwaliteit als de bekabelde SM58 versie maar nu draadloos.
De 40 meter is in ons gebouw moeiteloos haalbaar dus voor gebruik in de Aula / podium ruim voldoende.
Makkelijke set-up en installatie voor de 4 microfoons (wij hebben 2 van deze sets gekocht).
Voor de geluidsverdeling naar de versterker toe maken wij gebruik van een Behringer Xenyx mengpaneel met een Jack uitgang naar de versterker. Zo kunnen wij met een schuif op de versterker het volume regelen van alle microfoons tegelijk,maar ook de volume van de microfoons apart van elkaar regelen op het mengpaneel.
Tip:
voor de regio waarin de apparatuur word geplaatst is er keuze uit verschillende frequenties.
In ons geval "M17". Bel daarom even voor de zekerheid voor dat je besteld de infolijn van Bax
