Making the jump to wireless should be liberating, not challenging. Shure BLX Wireless Systems combine professional quality sound with simple setup and an intuitive interface for performance you can trust right out of the box. Precision built and available in a variety of handheld, lavalier, instrument and headset configurations, it's the most accessible way to own the stage.

The Beta 98H/C condenser microphone is a versatile solution for brass or percussion instruments. It offers a flexible integrated gooseneck with clip-on clamp for a secure fit and precise positioning. It combines simple setup and an intuitive interface for performance you can trust in. 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. Includes BLX4 single-channel receiver, BLX1 bodypack transmitter, BETA98H/C instrument microphone, power supply, 2 AA batteries, carrying case, and user guide. The Beta 98H/C miniature cardioid condenser instrument microphone clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. The integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the microphone to be easily positioned and secured, and an isolation shock-mount reduces the transmission of instrument vibrations. A gooseneck angle brace is included to provide better retention of the desired microphone placement.

Shure BLX14/B98 Wireless Instrument System Features:

  • Microprocessor-controlled internal antenna diversity.
  • One-touch QuickScan frequency selection quickly locates the best frequency.
  • 1/4" and XLR audio outputs.
  • Two color audio status indicator LED.
  • The Beta 98H/C condenser microphone is a premier live performance microphone with Shure quality, ruggedness, and reliability.
  • Uniform supercardioid pick-up pattern for maximum gain before feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound.
  • Smooth, wide frequency response with gradual presence rise and controlled proximity effect tailored for vocals.
  • Advanced cartridge shock mount system absorbs mechanical shock and minimizes handling noise.
  • Dent-resistant steel mesh grille and enamel coated metal alloy construction resist wear and abuse.
  • Effective built-in pop filter reduces undesirable wind and breath noise.
  • Very low susceptibility to RF and electromagnetic hum.

Shure BLX14/B98 Specifications:
System
Working Range: 91 m (300 ft) Line of Sight (Actual range depends on RF signal absorption, reflection and interference.)
Audio Frequency Response: 50 to 15,000 Hz (Dependent on microphone type)
Total Harmonic Distortion (Ref. ±33 kHz deviation with 1 kHz tone): 0.5%, typical
