Enjoy more freedom with your music with the BLX14R/B98 Wireless Instrument Microphone System from Shure. This system is comprised of a BETA®98H/C Instrument Microphone, a BLX1 Bodypack Transmitter, and a BLX4R Rack Mount Receiver. It also includes a Single and Dual Rackmount Kit, two 1/4 Wave Antennas, a power supply and two AA batteries, and a bag for safe storage. 

More about the Beta98H/C

The Beta98H/C is a miniature microphone that easily and reliably clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or the rim of percussion instruments. Its preamplifier circuitry delivers high gain-before-feedback and improves linearity across the full frequency range for a tailored response for natural sound reproduction. Its cardioid pickup pattern isolates your sound from unwanted noise. A ratcheting swivel joint lets you secure it to your instrument with confidence. Its gooseneck lets you reposition it to the precise angle to capture the best sound, while a gooseneck angle brace keeps it there. An integrated shockmount isolates the mic from the instrument’s vibrations for minimal handling noise.

More about the BLX1 Bodypack Transmitter

The lightweight yet rugged build of the BLX1 means you don’t have to worry about damage during everyday use, and it easily clips onto a belt, pocket, or guitar strap for optimal placement. A TQG connection on this transmitter enables connection with lavalier, headset, earset, and instrument mics, as well as guitar cables. It’s capable of up to 300 feet line-of-sight operation, while it boasts a battery life of up to 14 hours, with an LED status indicator to warn you when it’s time to recharge. Turn the transmitter on and off and control your gain with controls on the bodypack itself. Its group and channel selection buttons enable quick frequency matching with the receiver.

More about the BLX4R Wireless Receiver

Boasting a rugged build, optimized linearity and frequency response, and scalable versatility, the BLX4R includes a rack mount kit for permanent installation, allowing it to be easily incorporated into any setup. Its removable antennas enable quick distribution. It can expand to up to 12 mic channels, making it a great choice to start and grow your sound system. Setup is quick and easy with QuickScan frequency selection, which also provides improved linearity and frequency response.
