The Shure BLX188E/W85-S8 wireless system combines discrete and professional lavalier microphones with intuitive technology. It guarantees consistently clear and accurate sound, regardless of your movement. The BLX88 dual receiver allows you to use both W85 lavalier mics simultaneously. Shure BLX Wireless Systems eliminate interference and drop-outs, ensuring a strong signal from the bodypack to the receiver. One-touch Quickscan technology simplifies finding the best frequency for your performance with the push of a button.
Setting up the system is a breeze. Just plug the mic outputs into a channel on your mixing desk, like you would with a regular wired mic. Perform a Quickscan by pressing the group button on the receiver, which searches for the clearest frequency in your environment. Then, pair the bodypack transmitters to the receiver using the transmitters’ group and channel buttons. Once the ready LED on the receiver lights up, you’re good to go. Now, you can enjoy wireless freedom during your performances.
The WL185 lavalier microphone included in this system is a high-quality cardioid microphone that delivers accurate sound reproduction. It features interchangeable cartridges, allowing you to switch between cardioid, supercardioid, and omnidirectional condenser cartridges (cartridges sold separately). The rotatable tie clip allows for precise microphone positioning, and the dual tie clip is perfect for dual miking applications. The WL185 is ideal for speech-based performances in settings like presentations, lectures, or houses of worship.
The Shure BLX88UK System provides wireless freedom with peace of mind. The receiver’s “ready” LED indicates when your system is set up and secure, so you don’t have to worry about signal dropouts. If the channel starts clipping, an LED switches from green to red, indicating that you may need to activate the transmitters’ -10dB gain control. The transmitter also has an LED monitor that alerts you when the batteries are running low. This system is designed to be clear, simple, and effortless to set up right out of the box.
The Shure BLX188E/W85-S8 wireless system is built to withstand the demands of the road. It has undergone rigorous testing, including exposure to heat, cold, humidity, and the legendary “Shure drop test.” It is ready for every performance and offers the legendary Shure durability that musicians and professionals rely on.
The system includes the Shure BLX88 Analogue Dual Channel Receiver, two BLX1 Bodypack Transmitters, two WL185 Lavalier Condenser Microphones, a swivel adapter, two tie clips, four windscreens, and four AA batteries.
The WL185 Lavalier Condenser Microphone is a discreet clip-on mic that offers exceptional vocal clarity and a tailored frequency response for speaking and presentations. Its cardioid polar pattern rejects unwanted noise, and it has a permanently charged electret condenser element. The TA4F (TQG) connector allows it to be used with any Shure wireless bodypack. This microphone also comes with windscreens to reduce plosives, wind, and breath noise, as well as a tie clip for hands-free use.
The BLX1 Body Pack Transmitter has a 14-hour run time and a 100-meter range on one pair of AA batteries. It features quick and easy frequency matching, a continuously adjustable gain dial, and an easily accessible on/off switch. Its clip-on design allows for easy attachment to performers, and its lightweight build ensures comfort and discretion. It is built rugged and robust for rigorous live performances, and its TA4F (TQG) connection allows it to be used with Shure headset, lavalier, instrument mics, and guitar cables.
The BLX88 Dual Channel Receiver has a user-friendly and intuitive design, with no complicated setup options. The one-touch QuickScan feature finds the best open frequency for an uninterrupted signal. Its internal microprocessor-controlled antenna keeps the unit discrete and compact. It has a two-color LED for monitoring signal level and is compatible with up to 12 other systems. It also has XLR and 1/4″ audio outputs.
