About the Shure BLX288/PG58 - Wireless Dual Vocal System with two PG58 Handheld Transmitters
The Shure BLX288/PG58 is a complete dual-channel wireless system packaged for performers and presenters who require two independent wireless microphone channels in a single, ready-to-use box. This system includes two BLX2 handheld transmitters, each equipped with the proven PG58 dynamic vocal capsule, and a dual-channel BLX88 receiver in a half-rack-width chassis. The PG58 capsules deliver the tailored vocal presence and clarity that have made them a standard for live speech and singing, with effective pop filtering and good feedback rejection. This twin-transmitter setup is ideal for vocal duos, interview panels, host-and-co-host formats, or any application where two wireless vocal microphones are needed simultaneously.
The system operates on the user-friendly and reliable BLX wireless platform. The dual receiver automatically manages both channels, scanning for two optimal, interference-free UHF frequencies upon power-up. A simple one-touch sync function pairs each transmitter to its respective receiver channel quickly and securely. The receiver provides clear, individual LED metering for the audio level and RF signal strength of each channel, giving the operator immediate visual confirmation of system performance. Its compact half-rack design allows for easy integration into a portable rack case or installed equipment rack, conserving space compared to using two separate single-channel systems.
Offering an out-of-the-box solution for dual wireless needs, the BLX288/PG58 eliminates the complexity of sourcing and configuring separate components. It provides long operating times from standard AA batteries in the handhelds and includes all necessary cables for connection to a mixer. This system represents an efficient, cost-effective, and professional choice for bands, houses of worship, presentation venues, and rental companies seeking a reliable, high-quality wireless solution for two vocalists with minimal setup time.
