Important: The Shure BLX2/SM58 is a handheld wireless transmitter with an integrated SM58 microphone capsule. A compatible Shure BLX wireless receiver is required and sold separately.
Shure SM58 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone Capsule
The included Shure SM58 microphone capsule is designed specifically for professional vocal and speech reproduction.
Its tailored frequency response features a presence rise that helps vocals remain clear and intelligible in amplified sound systems.
Cardioid Pickup for Vocal Clarity
The SM58 features a cardioid polar pattern that emphasizes sound arriving from the front of the microphone while reducing pickup from the sides and rear.
This directional design helps isolate the primary voice from nearby instruments, stage sound, and other unwanted audio sources.
The result is consistent vocal pickup for singers, presenters, worship leaders, and speakers using professional sound reinforcement equipment.
Legendary Shure Durability
The SM58 is known for its rugged construction and dependable performance in demanding live sound environments.
Its spherical grille and built-in pop filtering help reduce wind and breath noise during vocal performances and spoken presentations.
Shure BLX2 Handheld Wireless Transmitter
The Shure BLX2 handheld transmitter provides the convenience of wireless microphone operation without sacrificing the familiar handling of a traditional handheld vocal microphone.
Its integrated transmitter and microphone capsule allow users to move freely throughout a performance area without a microphone cable running to the mixing console.
Simple Wireless Setup
The BLX2 features straightforward power and group/channel controls for configuring the transmitter with a compatible Shure BLX receiver.
A compatible receiver with Shure QuickScan can help identify an available operating frequency before the transmitter is manually configured to match.
The transmitter includes an LED indicator for power and battery status.
Up to 14 Hours of Battery Life
Powered by two AA batteries, the BLX2 provides up to 14 hours of operating time, depending on battery type and operating conditions.
This extended battery life makes it suitable for concerts, rehearsals, presentations, worship services, and professional events.
Compatible Shure BLX Wireless Receivers
The Shure BLX2/SM58 operates with compatible Shure BLX wireless receivers, including appropriately matched BLX4, BLX4R, and BLX88 receiver configurations.
The transmitter and receiver must operate within the same compatible wireless frequency band and use matching group and channel settings.
For a single-channel wireless microphone setup, the BLX4 tabletop receiver offers a straightforward solution.
For rack-mounted professional sound systems, the BLX4R receiver provides a convenient option for equipment racks and installed audio applications.
A wireless receiver is not included with this transmitter.
Professional BLX Analog Wireless Performance
The Shure BLX2/SM58 uses analog UHF wireless transmission to provide reliable handheld microphone operation in suitable RF environments.
When used with a compatible receiver, the transmitter supports an operating range of up to 300 feet (91 meters) under appropriate line-of-sight conditions.
The SM58 microphone capsule has a frequency response of 50 Hz–15 kHz, while the BLX wireless system's audio frequency response is also specified as 50 Hz–15 kHz, depending on microphone type.
Actual wireless range and performance depend on RF interference, obstacles, equipment placement, and local operating conditions.
