General

When it comes to vocal microphones and wireless systems, Shure has certainly earned its stripes over the years. No wonder their products are often spotted at all kinds of gigs! Shure's BLX series offers affordable yet professional solutions for vocals, speech and music. Take the BLX288/PG58 set, for instance, which combines two BLX2 transmitters with PG58 microphone heads and a dual receiver, the BLX88. Setting the microphones up is a quick and easy job. As such, the set is suitable for beginners as well as professionals and ideal for musicians and sound engineers that often have to change location.

Shure BLX2 handheld transmitter with a PG58 microphone capsule

The Shure BLX 2 is a reliable handheld microphone. It's lightweight, very durable and it can run on two AA batteries for up to 14 hours. The PG58 microphone capsule ensures that vocals (whether singing or speaking) and picked up effectively. The cardioid pickup pattern of the dynamic microphone also ensures that's insensitive to feedback. Keep the BLX2 handheld transmitters and the BLX88 receiver within 90 metres of each other and a crystal-clear signal is ensured.

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!
