General

Shure certainly knows all the tricks of the music trade. Not only do they have years of experience under their belt, they also ask their users for feedback while they're developing their wireless systems. No wonder they're able to deliver one quality product after the other! Take the Shure BLX14-MX53, for instance, a no-nonsense wireless microphone headset that consists of a BLX1 bodypack transmitter, a BLX4 receiver and an MX153 headset microphone. In situations that call for a discreet microphone - conferences, meetings, presentations - this set is exactly what you need.

Quality and Ease

The MX153 headset microphone delivers an impressive, crystal-clear output that is perfect for speech in particular. Fasten this inconspicuous mic to your ear, and you'll be able to benefit from a wide frequency range, ensuring your voice is reproduced in great detail. The BLX1 bodypack transmitter and the BLX4 receiver that are also part of the set can easily be synced thanks to the latter's QuickScan function, which automatically selects the best possible, interference-free frequency. Simply set your transmitter to the same frequency, and you're good to go.
