The Shure BLX14UK/W85-K3E is a wireless lavalier system that combines a discreet and professional lavalier microphone with intuitive wireless technology. It offers consistently clear and accurate sound, no matter where you move. The Shure BLX Wireless Systems eliminate interference and drop-outs, providing a rock solid signal from the bodypack to the receiver, making it sound like you’re using a wired microphone. The one-touch Quickscan technology makes it easy to locate the best frequency for your performance with just the press of a button.
To set up the system, simply plug the microphone output from the receiver into a channel on your mixing desk, just like you would with a normal wired microphone. Perform a Quickscan by pressing the group button on the receiver, which will search your environment to find the clearest frequency for your performance. Then, pair the bodypack transmitter to the receiver using the transmitter’s group and channel buttons. Once paired, the ready LED on the receiver will light up, indicating that the system is set up and ready to use.
The WL185 Lavalier Microphone included in the system is a premium cardioid microphone that offers accurate sound reproduction. It features interchangeable cartridges, allowing users to choose between cardioid, supercardioid, and omnidirectional condenser cartridges (sold separately). The microphone has a rotatable tie clip that can pivot 90 degrees for precise microphone positioning, and it comes with a dual tie clip for dual miking applications. It is ideal for speech-based performances such as presentations, lectures, or use within houses of worship.
The Shure BLX14UK/W85-K3E system also offers comprehensive monitoring. The receiver’s “ready” LED indicates when the system is set up and secure, reducing worries about signal dropouts. If the channel starts clipping, an LED switches from green to red, notifying you to activate the transmitter’s -10dB gain control. Additionally, an LED monitor informs you when the batteries are running low on the transmitter. The system is designed for effortless setup straight out of the box.
With its tour-tough construction, the BLX14UK/W85-K3E is built to withstand any environment. It has been rigorously tested to handle heat, cold, humidity, and the “Shure drop test,” ensuring durability and reliability for life on the road. The system includes the Shure BLX4 Analogue Single Channel Receiver, BLX1 Bodypack Transmitter, WL185 Lavalier Condenser Microphone, and AA batteries.
The WL185 Lavalier Microphone features a miniature clip-on design that can be worn with minimal visibility. It reproduces vocals with outstanding clarity and has 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 microphone is equipped with a TA4F (TQG) connector for use with any Shure wireless bodypack. It is built with legendary Shure engineering for maximum durability and performance, and it includes windscreens to reduce plosives, wind, and breath noise. A tie clip is also included for hands-free use.
The BLX1 Bodypack Transmitter offers a 14-hour run time and a 100-meter range from a single pair of AA batteries. It has a quick and easy frequency matching feature and a continuously adjustable gain dial. The transmitter has an easily accessible on/off switch and a power and battery status LED. Its clip-on design allows it to easily attach to a performer, and it is lightweight, comfortable, and discrete. The transmitter is rugged and robust, built to withstand rigorous live performances. It has a TA4F (TQG) connection for use with Shure headset, lavalier, instrument mics, and guitar cables.
The BLX4 Single Channel Receiver is user-friendly and intuitive, with no complicated setup options. Its one-touch QuickScan feature finds the best open frequency for uninterrupted signal. The internal microprocessor-controlled antenna keeps the unit discrete and compact. The receiver has a two-color LED for monitoring signal level and is compatible with up to 12 other systems. It has XLR and 1/4″ audio outputs.
