General

Shure's BLX Series encompasses a range of wireless transmitters and receivers that offer affordable yet professional solutions for vocal performances, speeches 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 is ideal for touring musicians and sound engineers.

Two Shure BLX2 Handheld Transmitters with SM58 Microphone Capsules

The two BLX2 handheld transmitters in this set are both fitted with an SM58 microphone capsule. The SM58 is a household name in the music industry and can be seen everywhere, from the most obscure rehearsal spaces to large concerts and festivals. This microphone is robust, registers speech and vocals with great clarity and is highly insensitive to feedback. The BLX2 UHF handheld transmitter has a maximum range of 90 metres and is powered by two AA batteries that last up to 14 hours!

Shure BLX88 Double 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, and the BLX88 will still receive the signal of the two microphones at a distance of up to 90 metres. Also, thanks to Shure QuickScan technology, an interference-free signal is found at the push of a button. It's that simple.

Wrote the following about Shure BLX288E/SM58-H8E Wireless Handheld System (518 - 542 MHz)

Toujours satisfait de la marque Shure et de Bax Shop
Rien à redire (sauf éventuellement : une petite malette de rangement aurait été un plus non négligeable)

Als duo INLO-TWO gebruiken wij al enkele jaren mics van oa Shure (SM58 en SM58 Beta) naar alle tevredenheid. Pas deze set gekocht en naar verwachting was alles perfect! Goede Vocaal geluid zoals wij gewend waren, zonder enige vorm van bv storingen. Makkelijk te installeren. Bij het voor het eerst uitproberen wordt bij de ontvanger kennelijk maar 1 kanaal ingeschakeld bij het aanzetten. Toen probeerden dus beide microfoons op dezelfde kanaal te "werken". Dus op de ontvanger ook kanaal 2 "aangezet", de mics uit- en aangeschakeld... Probleem (door onwetendheid) opgelost! Ze komen in een grote doos. Heb er gelijk een aluminium koffer bij gekocht met plukschuim. En dus goed beschermd alweer een eerste optreden meegemaakt. Shure is voor ons shure the best!
