Product Description

The BLX1288/CVL-H9 combines a BLX88 dual-channel receiver, a CVL lavalier microphone with a BLX1 bodypack transmitter, and a PG58 handheld transmitter, giving AV integrators a complete two-person wireless solution out of the box. The CVL lavalier supports hands-free presenting while the PG58 handheld covers Q&A, vocals, or a second speaker, making it a flexible choice for commercial meeting spaces and multi-purpose rooms. One-touch QuickScan finds a clear channel quickly, and up to 12 compatible channels per frequency band support multi-system installations. With a range of up to 300 feet and up to 14 hours of battery life from a single pair of AA batteries, the system holds up through full-day events. As shown in the product images, the receiver mounts cleanly in an AV rack and connects to a mixer or DSP over standard balanced and unbalanced outputs. This H9 band model operates in the 512 to 542 MHz range.
