The Shure BLX188/CVL is a cost-effective wireless lavalier microphone system for two presenters, teachers, or lecturers, which offers quality sound, simple setup, and dependable performance right out of the box. It includes the compact and lightweight BLX88 dual-channel tabletop receiver with internal antennas, ideal for portable use.
The BLX188/CVL also includes two CVL cardioid lavalier mics with clips and windscreens and two BLX1 bodypack transmitters. The receiver features one-touch QuickScan frequency selection to quickly search 123 available frequencies and locate a clean RF channel in case of interference. The system provides up to 14 hours of continuous use with two AA batteries per transmitter, at a range up to 300 . Up to 12 mic channels can operate simultaneously in each frequency band.
This streamlined system is well suited for hands-free speech in small venues, wedding halls, and houses of worship as well as conference, educational, and corporate facilities.
Low-Visibility Lavalier Mics Optimized for Speech
The CVL Centraverse lavalier condenser microphones are built for low visibility and clear vocal reproduction. The mics feature cardioid polar patterns that help reject unwanted noise, Commshield RF Filtering to minimize RF interference from nearby smartphones, and a tailored frequency response optimized for speech intelligibility.
Lightweight Bodypack Transmitters
The durable BLX1 bodypack transmitters offer a lightweight, ergonomic design that is comfortable for presenters to wear. Group- and channel-selection buttons allow for quick and simple frequency matching with the receiver. Other features include an easily accessible on/off switch, adjustable gain control, and a TA4M 4-pin input jack.
Easy-to-Use Dual-Channel Tabletop Receiver for Quality Audio
The BLX88 receiver employs a microprocessor-controlled internal antenna diversity feature to improve the quality and reliability of your wireless audio. Two LED displays show group and channel settings, while four LED lights indicate when the system is ready for use and the strength of the incoming audio signal. The unit offers two 1/4" and two XLR outputs for connectivity to PA systems and mixing boards.
