Product Overview
The Shure BLX14R/MX53 is a rack-mount wireless earset microphone system built for presenters, instructors, and worship leaders who need discreet, hands-free speech reinforcement. It pairs the MX153 earset microphone with a BLX1 bodypack transmitter and the rack-mountable BLX4R receiver for dependable UHF wireless in conference rooms, houses of worship, and training rooms. The low-profile earset and rack-mount receiver make this a clean choice for installed commercial AV.
Product Description
The BLX14R/MX53 delivers nearly invisible, hands-free vocal pickup for presenters who move and gesture while speaking. The MX153 earset microphone sits at the ear and positions the element near the corner of the mouth for consistent levels and natural speech, an advantage in lectures, services, and theatrical presentations. The rack-mountable BLX4R receiver integrates into equipment racks and provides XLR and 1/4-inch outputs for mixers, DSP, and amplifiers. One-touch QuickScan locates the best open frequency at setup, and microprocessor-controlled internal antenna diversity keeps the link stable as the presenter moves. The BLX1 bodypack runs up to 14 hours on two AA batteries, and up to 12 compatible systems operate per frequency band for multi-presenter venues.
