Shure BLX1288/CVL Dual-Channel Combo Wireless System

Shure BLX® Wireless Systems provide a great option for making yourself mobile while speaking. The combo system provides added versatility. Capable of operating both the handheld mic and lapel mic at the same time or individually, you can choose what each situation calls for. This versatility makes the combo wireless microphone system a popular choice for houses of worship and wedding DJs. The Shure BLX1288/CVL wireless combo system provides professional sound quality with simple setup and an intuitive interface, offering legendary audio performance right out of the box.

This combo system communicates using analogue wireless transmission between the BLX88 dual channel receiver and the wireless microphones in use. Using either microphone included in this system, travel up to 300 feet (line of sight) from the receiver. Sound quality will be best when wireless microphones are at least 6 feet from each other and over 16 feet from the receiver. Gain levels can be adjusted from the receiver, as well as on the bodypack transmitter when using the lavalier mic.

When you want hands-free wireless mic presentation heard but not seen, the included Centraverse™ CVL lavalier condenser mic is there. Simply clip the bodypack transmitter onto a belt or guitar strap and clip the lapel microphone to your top for discreet and mobile performance. The CVL’s unidirectional cardioid polar pattern rejects unwanted sound, bringing greater focus to your voice. Add the included windscreen to minimize plosives and wind and breath sounds. The lav mic is ideally suited to speaking and presentations because of its tailored frequency response.

Handheld wireless microphones are great when multiple people need to be miked but each for a short time, so the mic can be passed among the speakers. This wireless microphone system’s versatility between the handheld and lav options are a huge factor in its popularity at houses of worship and wedding celebrations. The BLX2/PG58 handheld wireless microphone is lightweight yet rugged, making it comfortable to hold while withstanding minor damage. Power button, LED indicators for power and battery status, and other buttons are included on the wireless microphone.
