About the Shure MXW2/BETA58 Handheld Transmitter with BETA58® Microphone
The Shure MXW2/BETA58 is a high-performance digital wireless handheld transmitter system that integrates the acclaimed Beta 58A supercardioid dynamic capsule with the advanced Microflex Wireless platform. This combination delivers the precise, bright vocal character and exceptional gain-before-feedback of the Beta 58A with the pristine audio quality, low latency, and robust control of a modern digital wireless network. The Beta 58A capsule is renowned for its tailored presence rise and tight pickup pattern, which isolates the vocalist from surrounding stage noise, making it a premier choice for lead vocalists who need their voice to cut through a dense live mix with clarity and definition.
The MXW2 transmitter body is constructed with a durable metal housing and a hardened steel grille, built to endure the rigors of touring. It features a full-color LCD screen that provides real-time status information including RF strength, audio level, battery life, and transmitter settings. The system operates within the Microflex Wireless ecosystem, allowing for remote management via system software where engineers can adjust gain, monitor battery health, and coordinate frequencies for multiple transmitters from a central computer. The transmitter is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, supporting long operating times and seamless integration into a managed charging infrastructure.
This system is engineered for the most demanding professional vocal applications in theater, touring, and broadcast. It provides the sonic excellence and handling reliability of a legendary microphone with the interference-resistant, scalable, and controllable benefits of a networked digital wireless system. It represents a top-tier solution for performers and sound companies who refuse to compromise on either vocal sound quality or wireless reliability.
