Shure BLX188/CVL Dual Wireless Lavalier Microphone System

The Shure BLX188/CVL Dual Wireless Lavalier Microphone System provides professional hands-free audio for two presenters, speakers, or performers operating simultaneously. Featuring two Shure CVL omnidirectional condenser lavalier microphones, two BLX1 bodypack transmitters, and a BLX88 dual-channel wireless receiver, this complete system is designed for conferences, houses of worship, corporate presentations, schools, interviews, and live events.

Unlike single-channel wireless microphone systems, the BLX188/CVL allows two people to use separate wireless lavalier microphones through one receiver. Each microphone has its own receiver channel and audio output, making it convenient to manage two speakers through a compatible mixing console or sound reinforcement system.

Built around Shure's BLX analog UHF wireless technology, the system combines simple setup, one-touch QuickScan frequency selection, and dependable wireless operation in suitable RF environments. Its compact clip-on microphones provide discreet, hands-free audio pickup without requiring presenters to hold microphones.

With an operating range of up to 300 feet (91 meters) under suitable conditions and up to 14 hours of battery life per transmitter, the Shure BLX188/CVL is a practical solution for professional two-person wireless audio applications.

Two Shure CVL Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphones

The Shure CVL is a compact condenser lavalier microphone designed for speech reinforcement, presentations, and hands-free communication.

The BLX188/CVL includes two CVL microphones, allowing two speakers to communicate simultaneously without sharing a handheld microphone or passing a microphone between presenters.

Natural Speech Pickup

Each CVL microphone features an omnidirectional polar pattern, capturing sound from all directions to help maintain consistent speech pickup as the wearer moves naturally.

The microphones attach discreetly to clothing, making them suitable for presentations, interviews, worship services, lectures, and corporate events.

Convenient Hands-Free Operation

The clip-on design keeps each microphone positioned near the speaker while leaving both hands available for demonstrations, teaching, and other activities.

For events involving two presenters, the system provides a convenient way to maintain independent wireless microphone connections.

Shure BLX88 Dual-Channel Wireless Receiver

The Shure BLX88 is a dual-channel tabletop wireless receiver that supports two compatible BLX transmitters operating simultaneously.

By combining two receiver channels in one unit, the BLX88 simplifies equipment setup for applications that require two independent wireless microphones.

Independent Receiver Channels

Each receiver channel provides separate audio output and level adjustment, allowing the two microphones to be managed individually.

This is particularly useful for conferences, interviews, worship services, and presentations involving multiple speakers.

One-Touch QuickScan Frequency Selection

Shure QuickScan helps locate available operating frequencies within the system's selected wireless frequency band.

The transmitters are then manually set to the corresponding group and channel settings for operation with the receiver.

Flexible Audio Connections

The BLX88 provides two XLR outputs and two 1/4-inch outputs, allowing separate connections for each receiver channel to compatible mixing consoles and professional audio equipment.

Its tabletop design is convenient for portable PA systems, conference setups, and installed audio applications.

Two Shure BLX1 Bodypack Transmitters

The BLX188/CVL includes two Shure BLX1 bodypack transmitters, one for each CVL lavalier microphone.

Each transmitter features a compact, lightweight design that allows presenters and performers to move freely without a cable running to the receiver.

Powered by two AA batteries per transmitter, the BLX1 offers up to 14 hours of operating time, depending on battery type and conditions.

The transmitters feature straightforward controls and adjustable gain for convenient setup.

Professional Dual-Channel Wireless Performance

The Shure BLX188/CVL operates using Shure BLX analog UHF wireless technology.

Its two independent wireless channels make it suitable for events requiring simultaneous microphone operation, while the compact receiver helps reduce the amount of equipment needed for a two-person setup.

The system supports an operating range of up to 300 feet (91 meters) under suitable line-of-sight conditions.

The BLX wireless system's audio frequency response is 50 Hz–15 kHz, depending on microphone type.

Actual wireless performance and the number of compatible frequencies depend on the selected frequency band, local RF conditions, obstacles, and nearby wireless equipment.
