The Shure BLX14R/B98 Instrument Wireless System combines professional-quality sound with simple setup and an intuitive interface for legendary audio performance right out of the box. It is part of the BLX wireless systems family and features the BETA 98H/C Clip-on Microphone.

Description

The Shure BLX Wireless Systems combine professional-quality sound with simple setup and an intuitive interface for legendary audio performance right out of the box. Precision-built and available in a variety of configurations, it’s the most accessible way to own the stage.

Rack-mountable and featuring rugged metal construction, the BLX4R offers simple setup and intuitive controls. One-touch QuickScan frequency selection quickly locates the best open frequency in case of interference. Removable antennas allow for quick antenna distribution. (Note: When purchasing separate wireless components, please match their frequency bands to ensure proper system operation).

The durable BLX1 features a lightweight, ergonomic design and adjustable gain control. It comes equipped with power and battery status LED, 2 AA batteries that provide up to 14 hours of continuous use and has an operating range (line of sight) of 300 ft (91 m)

The BETA 98H/C is a premium cardioid condenser instrument microphone that clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. The integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the mic to be easily positioned and secured, and an isolation shock-mount reduces the transmission of instrument 'key noise' and other mechanical noise. A gooseneck angle brace is included to provide better retention of the microphone placement during more active performances.
