Shure BLX188/CVL Wireless Dual Lapel Microphone System

Professional wireless audio gets a dual-channel upgrade with the Shure BLX188/CVL system, designed specifically for applications requiring two simultaneous lapel microphones. This comprehensive wireless solution combines the BLX88 dual-channel receiver with two BLX1 bodypack transmitters and CVL lavalier microphones, creating a complete hands-free audio setup that integrates seamlessly with existing Shure wireless systems and the broader BLX product line.

The BLX88 receiver maintains a clean, professional appearance with its internal antenna design and low-profile rack mounting capability. Each system includes XLR and ¼" output connectors, plus a two-colour LED status indicator for quick audio monitoring. The microprocessor-controlled internal antenna diversity ensures reliable signal reception, while the BLX1 bodypack transmitters offer straightforward frequency matching with the receiver for hassle-free setup.

Each CVL lavalier microphone features a unidirectional cardioid polar pattern that focuses on the intended audio source while rejecting background noise and unwanted sounds. The miniature design includes a tie clip for discreet attachment to clothing, neckties, or collars. With a permanently charged electret condenser element and tailored frequency response optimised for speech and presentations, these microphones provide clear vocal reproduction. The included windscreen helps reduce plosives and breath sounds, while the TA4F connector ensures compatibility across Shure’s wireless ecosystem.

Built with Shure’s renowned engineering standards, the system runs for up to 14 hours of continuous operation on just two AA batteries per transmitter. This makes it particularly suitable for musicians, public speakers, and worship leaders who need reliable, long-lasting wireless audio performance without the constraints of handheld microphones.
