General

The Shure BLX188/CVL is an economical way to provide, for example, a presenter and a speaker both with a decent tie-pin microphone. Via the lightweight but robust BLX1 bodypack transmitters, the signal is sent to the BLX88, a so-called dual receiver. That means you can use both lavalier microphones at the same time without any problems. The transmission is also stable and has a range of up to 90 metres. And thanks to the easy controls, the system is ready to use in no time.

BLX188/CVL: wireless lavaliers

The big advantage of the Shure CVL tie-pin microphones is, of course, that they can be concealed in such a way that they are virtually unnoticeable. It therefore makes the microphone very suitable for your presentations, meetings or AV applications. You connect the tie-pin microphones each to its own Shure BLX1 bellpack via the TA4F connector. The QuickScan function then quickly searches for a clean, interference-free channel, so you can get straight to work.

Shure BLX88 dual receiver

The Shure BLX88 receiver is a dual version of the Shure BLX4. It features powerful integrated antennas, so you don't have to endlessly twist and adjust in the hope that it will improve reception. Even at a distance of about 90 metres, the BLX88 still receives the signal from tie-pin microphones.
