The Shure BLX1288/PGA31 Dual-Channel Wireless Combo Headset & Handheld Microphone System (H11: 572 to 596 MHz) is a versatile, cost-effective solution designed for two presenters, performers, teachers, or lecturers. This system delivers quality sound, straightforward setup, and reliable performance straight out of the box. It includes the compact BLX88 dual-channel tabletop receiver with internal antennas, making it ideal for portable use in small venues, wedding halls, houses of worship, or conference, educational, and corporate settings.
The system combines a bodypack transmitter with a PGA31 cardioid headset microphone and a handheld transmitter featuring an integrated PG58 dynamic cardioid capsule. The PGA31 headset ensures a comfortable, secure fit for hands-free operation, perfect for presentations or performances requiring mobility. Its cardioid polar pattern minimizes unwanted noise, and the tailored frequency response enhances speech clarity. The flexible gooseneck design allows precise microphone positioning for optimal source isolation in noisy environments. Meanwhile, the PG58 handheld microphone is ideal for situations where passing the mic between multiple users is necessary or when a headset isn’t practical. Its cardioid pattern reduces background noise and feedback, and a built-in spherical wind and pop filter ensures clear vocal reproduction by minimizing plosives.
The BLX88 receiver simplifies operation with one-touch QuickScan frequency selection, which scans 123 available frequencies to locate a clean RF channel, ensuring interference-free performance. The system supports up to 12 mic channels simultaneously in the H11 frequency band (572 to 596 MHz) and offers a wireless range of up to 300 feet. Powered by four AA batteries, it provides up to 14 hours of continuous use. The receiver features microprocessor-controlled internal antenna diversity for reliable audio, with two LED displays for group and channel settings and four LED indicators for system status and audio signal strength. It includes two 1/4" and two XLR outputs for seamless integration with PA systems and mixing boards.
The lightweight bodypack transmitter is ergonomic and durable, with an easily accessible on/off switch and a TA4M 4-pin input jack. The handheld transmitter is comfortable to hold, featuring an on/off button and a black identification cap (with optional WA621 Color ID Caps available for customization). Both transmitters offer adjustable gain control and simple frequency-matching buttons for quick setup with the receiver.
The BLX1288/PGA31 is adaptable to evolving needs, with Shure offering additional microphone options like the MX153 earset, CVL lavalier, WB98H/C instrument mic, or WA302 guitar cable for expanded applications. This system is a dependable choice for clear, professional audio in a variety of settings.
