Shure BLX288/PG58 Dual Wireless Handheld Microphone System

The Shure BLX288/PG58 Dual Wireless Handheld Microphone System delivers convenient, professional wireless vocal performance for applications requiring two microphones at the same time. Featuring two Shure BLX2/PG58 handheld transmitters with PG58 cardioid dynamic microphone capsules and a Shure BLX88 dual-channel wireless receiver, this complete system is ideal for live performances, houses of worship, corporate presentations, schools, mobile DJs, and event production.

Designed for straightforward setup and dependable operation, the BLX288/PG58 combines Shure's analog UHF wireless technology with the familiar handling of professional handheld vocal microphones. Each PG58 microphone provides clear speech and vocal reproduction, while its cardioid pickup pattern helps reduce unwanted background sound.

The included BLX88 receiver supports two independent wireless microphone channels, allowing two singers, presenters, or speakers to use their microphones simultaneously through a single receiver.

With an operating range of up to 300 feet (91 meters) under suitable line-of-sight conditions and up to 14 hours of battery life per handheld transmitter, the Shure BLX288/PG58 is a practical solution for professional and everyday sound reinforcement applications.

Two Wireless Handheld Microphones for Simultaneous Use

The Shure BLX288/PG58 includes two independent handheld wireless transmitters, making it a convenient choice for events requiring multiple speakers or performers.

Both microphones can operate simultaneously through the BLX88 dual-channel receiver, eliminating the need for two separate single-channel receiver units.

This dual-channel configuration is especially useful for:

• Two singers performing together
• Worship leaders and guest speakers
• Corporate presentations with multiple presenters
• School assemblies and educational events
• DJs hosting events and making announcements
• Panel discussions, ceremonies, and public speaking applications

Each microphone operates on its own assigned wireless channel, allowing both users to speak or perform without sharing a single microphone.

Shure PG58 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone Capsules

The Shure PG58 is a dynamic microphone designed for vocals and spoken-word applications.

Both included BLX2 handheld transmitters feature integrated PG58 microphone capsules, providing consistent microphone performance for two users.

Cardioid Pickup for Clear Vocal Reproduction

The PG58 features a cardioid polar pattern that emphasizes sound arriving from the front of the microphone while reducing pickup from the sides and rear.

This helps minimize unwanted background sound from nearby instruments, audience noise, and other sources.

Its tailored frequency response supports clear vocal reproduction for live singing, announcements, and spoken presentations.

Durable Handheld Construction

The PG58 microphone capsule is integrated into the BLX2 wireless transmitter, providing a familiar handheld microphone design without the restrictions of a connected audio cable.

The rugged construction is suitable for regular use in schools, churches, event venues, and portable sound systems.

Two Shure BLX2/PG58 Handheld Wireless Transmitters

The BLX288/PG58 includes two Shure BLX2/PG58 handheld wireless transmitters, each with its own integrated PG58 cardioid dynamic microphone capsule.

Each transmitter operates independently and is configured to communicate with its corresponding receiver channel.

Simple Wireless Configuration

The BLX2 handheld transmitters feature straightforward power and frequency group/channel controls.

After the BLX88 receiver identifies suitable operating frequencies, each transmitter is manually configured to match its assigned receiver channel.

LED indicators provide convenient power and battery status information.

Up to 14 Hours of Battery Life Per Transmitter

Each BLX2 handheld transmitter operates on two AA batteries and provides up to 14 hours of operating time, depending on battery type and conditions.

This extended battery life makes the system convenient for rehearsals, conferences, worship services, concerts, and other events requiring two wireless microphones.

Shure BLX88 Dual-Channel Wireless Receiver

The Shure BLX88 is a dual-channel tabletop wireless receiver designed to operate with two compatible Shure BLX transmitters simultaneously.

Its compact design allows users to manage two independent wireless microphone channels from one receiver, reducing equipment clutter in portable and installed sound systems.

One-Touch QuickScan Frequency Selection

The BLX88 features Shure QuickScan frequency selection to help identify available operating frequencies.

The two receiver channels can be configured for compatible frequencies, and each handheld transmitter is manually matched to its corresponding channel.

This helps simplify wireless setup in environments where other RF equipment may be operating.

Independent Receiver Channels

The BLX88 provides two separate wireless receiver channels for simultaneous microphone operation.

Each channel has its own audio output connections, allowing the microphones to be routed independently to compatible mixing consoles and sound reinforcement systems.

Professional Audio Outputs

The BLX88 provides two XLR outputs and two 1/4-inch outputs, with separate connections for each wireless microphone channel.

This allows sound technicians to manage the two microphone signals independently through a compatible audio mixer.

Shure BLX Analog UHF Wireless Performance

The Shure BLX288/PG58 uses analog UHF wireless technology to provide convenient cable-free microphone operation.

With an operating range of up to 300 feet (91 meters) under suitable line-of-sight conditions, both microphones offer freedom of movement throughout compatible performance and presentation spaces.

The PG58 microphone capsules have a frequency response of 60 Hz–15 kHz, while the BLX wireless system audio frequency response is specified as 50 Hz–15 kHz, depending on microphone type.

Actual operating range and wireless performance depend on RF interference, obstacles, equipment placement, and local environmental conditions.
