General

If you're looking for an easy way of wirelessly amplifying your instrument, you should definitely consider the Shure BLX14 - Beta 98H/C system. It consists of a compact BLX4 receiver, a BLX1 bodypack transmitter and a Shure Beta 98H/C condenser instrument microphone. The transmitter and the receiver use the UHF band to communicate with each other within a range of 100 yards. Syncing the two is easy thanks to a practical QuickScan function.

The Shure Beta 98H/C instrument microphone

Shure's Beta 98H/C is a small, manageable instrument microphone that comes with a flexible cable and a mounting kit, so you can easily position it any way you like, ensuring it registers exactly what you want it to. The microphone's cardioid pickup pattern, meanwhile, makes sure that background noise won't taint your sound. Its wide frequency range makes it suitable for a wide range of instruments, such as saxophone, brass, strings and percussion.

These handheld transmitters, bodypacks and receivers are as reliable as any Shure product. The BLX series uses the UHF band and was optimised to offer a stable signal at all times.

Wrote the following about Shure BLX14 - Beta 98 (M17, 662-686 MHz) wireless instr. mic set

Inmiddels heb ik de microfoon al vanaf 2013 in gebruik gekocht bij baxshop, ik gebruik hem voor hele grote shows in duitsland en ook voor (jazz/klassiek) op mijn trompet zonder meer een top microfoon en tot op heden geen nadelen kunnen ontdekken of wat dan ook, wel 1 kapje afgebroken maar er zitten er 2 bij.
