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 in a rack-mount receiver. 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 BLX4R rack mount receiver, BLX1 bodypack transmitter, BETA98H/C instrument microphone, power supply, single and dual rackmount kit, two 1/4 wave antennas, zipper bag, 2 AA batteries, and user guide. The BETA98H/C and the wireless version WB98H/C are premium cardioid condenser instrument microphones that clamp 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.

Shure BLX14R/B98 Wireless Rack-Mount Instrument System Features:

  • Up to 12 compatible systems per frequency band (region dependent.)
  • 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.
  • Adjustable output level.
  • Removable antennas for quick antenna distribution.

  • Rugged metal construction, rack mount hardware included.
  • The Beta 98 H/C and WB98 H/C feature transformerless preamplifier circuitry which improves linearity across the full frequency range.
  • The pickup pattern provides high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise.
  • Its high maximum sound pressure level (SPL) enables it to handle the extreme demands of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments.
  • The Beta98H/C features a 3 m (10 ft.) high-flex cable with attached preamplifier (XLR connection.)
  • The WB98H/C features a 1.6 m (5.3ft) high-flex cable terminating in a 4-pin mini-connector, for use with wireless bodypack transmitters.
  • Tailored frequency response for open, natural sound reproduction.
  • Compact, lightweight construction provides a low degree of visibility.
  • Gooseneck, ratcheting swivel joint and gooseneck angle brace allow for optimum placement and fixed positioning.
  • Legendary Shure ruggedness and reliability.

Shure BLX14R/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
Dynamic Range: 100 dB, A-weighted, typical
Operating Temperature: -18°C (0°F) to 57°C (135°F) (Battery characteristics may limit this range.)
Polarity: Positive pressure on microphone diaphragm (or positive voltage applied to tip of WA302 phone plug) produces positive voltage on pin 2 (with respect to pin 3 of low-impedance output) and the tip of the high impedance 1/4-inch output.
