General

The Shure BLX188/W85 is a durable, easy to set up, and affordable wireless microphone system that comes complete with two WL185 lavaliers, two lightweight yet sturdy bodypack transmitter and a dual receiver. Using the QuickScan function, the transmitter and receiver are quickly sync'd up to offer a range of up to 90 metres. Meanwhile, the lavalier microphone and its cardioid pickup pattern capture sound across a 130-degree range, which makes it sensitive enough to register speech without having to talk directly into the microphone, yet controlled enough to keep out ambient noise. In short, this dependable wireless system is perfect for presentations, meetings and conferences.
