Shure BLX188UK/PG85

Shure BLX188UK/PG85 Additional Overview:

• What is the PG185 best suited to? - The PG185 is the entry to Shure wireless lavalier microphones and is ideal for a presenter, lecturer or public speaker. It's a visually discreet electret condenser lavalier microphone suitable for spoken word and presentations.
• What receiver comes with the PG Wireless Dual Presenter System? - The PG Wireless Dual Presenter System comes with the Analog Wireless dual Receiver BLX88 that provides improved linearity and frequency response. The receiver BLX88 is ready to perform right out of the box and is the clearest choice for presenters who wish to unplug from the wire.
• How many presenters can use this system simultaneously? - Up to 12 compatible channels per group with group and channel scan for easy set-up.
• Why internal antennas? - For ideal signal strength, antennas on a wireless system need to be set up in a certain way. The internal antennas on the BLX receiver are already set in this ideal way, offering up to 100 m operating range and optimal signal strength. Additionally internal antennas cannot be broken during setup, use or transport.
• Is the setup really that easy? - Yes, with one button you can start the group and channel scan, which gives you the best open frequency. Adjust the transmitter to the same channel and you're ready to go.
• What does "Linearity" mean? - The proportion between input signal of the transmitter and output signal of the receiver is always constant.
• What's the difference between the old and the new "PG Wireless System"? - With the old PG Wireless System "PG" is the name for the microphones as well as for the receivers. With the new system, the name "PG" stands for the whole line of microphones in differentiation to SM and Beta microphones. The receivers name is "BLX". This receiver is also part of SM and Beta Wireless Systems.
• The new PG Wireless Systems come with the Analogue Wireless Receivers that provide improved linearity and frequency response as well as up to 12 compatible channels per group with group and channel scan for easy set-up.
