With a 300-foot (100m) operating range, up to 14 hours of battery life, and analog wireless transmission optimized for speech intelligibility, the BLX188/CVL delivers reliable audio performance right out of the box with minimal setup time. Up to 12 channels per frequency band can operate simultaneously for expanded multi-presenter deployments.

Product Description

The BLX188/CVL provides everything needed for a two-presenter wireless audio deployment in a single package: a BLX88 tabletop dual-channel receiver with integrated power supply input, two BLX1 bodypack transmitters, two CVL cardioid lavalier microphones, windscreens, lavalier clips, and all required accessories. The CVL cardioid lavalier microphone provides clear, consistent speech capture with its cardioid polar pattern, reducing ambient noise pickup in open conference rooms and training environments. One-touch QuickScan automatic frequency selection identifies the strongest available channel, minimizing setup time for AV professionals and facility managers. The BLX1 bodypack transmitter features adjustable gain control and a TQG connector for compatibility with additional Shure lavalier, headset, and earset microphones. The analog BLX system supports up to 12 simultaneous channels per frequency band for multi-zone commercial meeting deployments. Pair with the Shure BLX1 Bodypack Transmitter for additional presenters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the BLX188/CVL system be expanded to more than two presenters?
Yes. The BLX system supports up to 12 simultaneous channels per frequency band, so additional BLX1 bodypack transmitters and a BLX receiver can be added to support more presenters across a commercial meeting environment.

Is the BLX188/CVL suitable for permanent installation in a conference room?
Yes. The BLX88 tabletop receiver and BLX1 bodypack transmitters are well-suited for permanent or semi-permanent installation in conference rooms, training rooms, and multi-purpose commercial meeting spaces. The simple controls allow facility managers to operate the system without specialized AV training.

What microphone connector does the BLX1 bodypack use?
The BLX1 uses a TQG (TA4F) connector, compatible with Shure CVL, WL185, and other lavalier, headset, and earset microphones designed for the BLX system.

Does the BLX188/CVL operate on analog or digital wireless?
The BLX series uses analog wireless transmission. It provides professional-quality audio performance for speech applications including presentations, training, and conferencing, with a simpler and more cost-effective deployment profile than digital wireless systems.
