Product information

General

The Shure BLX188/MX53 is a comfortable and easy to operate wireless headset system. Reliable brand, Shure provide you with a dual receiver, two beltpack transmitters and two earsets. These 'tan' skin-coloured headsets are worn around the ear, are very light and send crystal-clear sound to the beltpacks. The system's BLX1 bodypacks transmit that signal to the BLX88, a receiver with intuitive controls. This wireless Shure system is an outstanding choice for public speakers who like to keep their hands free, but want to get their message across.

The MX-153 Headset

Shure's MX153 is a comfortable headset microphone that is secured around your ear and adjusted to the shape of your head and face. It's a slim microphone that can be worn discreetly, making it ideal for (TV) presenting purposes. The omnidirectional pickup pattern of this microphone picks registers sound without the speaker having to speak directly into the microphone and filters out any unwanted background noise, so that the voice is reproduced perfectly and with natural feeling clarity. The lightweight yet robust design ensures comfort and the cable has been reinforced with Kevlar. Provding a complete package, Shure have included a storage pouch, three windshields and a clothing clip.
