Shure BLX288/B58 Dual Beta 58 Handheld Wireless System

The BLX288/B58 dual handheld system blends the bulletproof reliability of classic Shure gear with the freedom of modern wireless technology. It’s like having a top-tier sound engineer in a sleek, portable setup — without tangled cables or the headache of hunting for open frequencies. From the subtle nuances of spoken word to the punch of lead vocals, this system is a sonic playground designed to inspire total stage confidence.

Flawless Audio, Unplugged

Nothing sabotages a performance quicker than static and signal dropouts. The BLX288/B58 system combats poor audio with two finely tuned Beta 58A microphones, delivering crisp, commanding vocals that slice through any mix. While powerful enough for seasoned professionals, it's so intuitive that a weekend warrior can set it up in minutes. Consider it your secret weapon for flawless live sound.

Beta 58A Capsules: Each mic packs a supercardioid dynamic capsule that actively isolates your voice from bleeding background noise, pushing your vocals front and center.
-10 dB Gain Attenuation: Need to belt out a high note? The built-in gain attenuation tames overly loud audio sources, ensuring your loudest moments remain wonderfully crisp and completely distortion-free.
300-Foot Operating Range: Roam the stage with a generous line-of-sight range, giving you the liberty to leap, lunge, and strut without a single cable to hold you back.

Effortless Setup for an Epic Show

Let's be honest: fumbling with frequencies kills the pre-show vibe. The BLX88 dual-channel receiver takes the guesswork out of getting connected, letting you focus on the crowd instead of the console. Just tap a button and watch the system do the heavy lifting, locating the cleanest channel faster than you can say "check, one, two."

QuickScan Frequency Selection: Hit the one-touch QuickScan button to instantly hunt down and lock into the best open frequency, easily avoiding pesky interference.
At-a-Glance Monitoring: A simple two-color LED display shows you everything you need to know. Green means your signal is strong, and red means you're clipping. That's it. You'll know exactly where your levels stand without even thinking about it.
Marathon Battery Life: Pop in two standard AA batteries and enjoy up to 14 hours of continuous, uninterrupted performance. Your voice will likely give out long before the power does.
