Shure BLX2B58M17 Handheld Wireless Transmitter
The Shure BLX2/B58 handheld wireless transmitter pairs straightforward wireless operation with the vocal-focused character of an integrated BETA 58A microphone cartridge. Its high-output supercardioid dynamic design, shaped response and rugged construction make it a practical choice.
Vocal-focused sound
Firstly, the integrated BETA 58A cartridge uses a shaped frequency response designed for close-up vocals. Also, a brightened midrange and bass rolloff to control proximity effect. That focus gives vocalists a clear, defined sound while keeping the microphone’s response suited to close vocal technique.
Focused pickup for reinforcement
Its uniform supercardioid pattern supports high gain before feedback and rejects off-axis sound. In a sound reinforcement setup, that focused pickup can help keep the vocal signal more isolated from unwanted sound arriving from outside the main speaking or singing position.
Built for regular handling
Lightweight, rugged construction combines with a hardened steel mesh grille that resists wear and abuse. The advanced pneumatic shock mount system minimises transmission of mechanical noise and vibration, so handling movement is less likely to become part of the vocal signal.
Simple wireless stage setup
As part of the Shure BLX Wireless Systems, the transmitter is designed around simple setup and an intuitive interface. It operates from 662MHz to 686MHz, while separately available color ID caps offer a way to distinguish transmitters when more than one is in use.
