Shure BLX14/B98 Wireless Cardioid Instrument Microphone System
Product Overview
The Shure BLX14/B98 is a wireless instrument microphone system built around the Beta 98H/C cardioid condenser clip-on microphone, ideal for amplifying brass, woodwind, and percussion in houses of worship, auditoriums, and live performance spaces. The system pairs a BLX4 receiver with a BLX1 bodypack transmitter to deliver dependable UHF wireless audio with simple setup. It is a cost-effective wireless instrument microphone system for commercial AV and performance installations that need reliable mobility for musicians.
Product Description
The BLX14/B98 combines Shure BLX wireless reliability with the Beta 98H/C, a miniature cardioid condenser microphone whose gooseneck and integrated instrument clip position the capsule close to the sound source. The cardioid polar pattern rejects off-axis sound, which helps control feedback in live worship and stage environments. One-touch QuickScan scans the band and locates the best open frequency, simplifying setup for volunteer operators and AV staff. Microprocessor-controlled internal antenna diversity maintains a stable connection as performers move on stage. The BLX1 bodypack transmitter runs up to 14 hours on two AA batteries, supporting full-length services and events. With up to 12 compatible systems per frequency band, the BLX14/B98 scales into multi-instrument setups common in commercial performance venues.
