Shure

Description

The Shure BLX14 wireless guitar system combines professional-quality sound with simple setup and up to 14 hours battery life for legendary audio performance right out of the box. The system includes a BLX4 tabletop single-channel receiver, BLX1 bodypack transmitter with WA302 instrument cable, power supply, two AA batteries, windscreens and a user guide.

The BLX1 beltpack transmitter works with lavalier and headset microphones. With the WA302 1/4" to TA4F cable, it also works for electric guitar or bass. The beltpack features an On/Off hard toggle switch, preferring to eliminate the multi-function push button that is used on some wireless transmitters. Many users found the multi-function single button to be inconvenient and unreliable.

The BLX4 receiver is packaged in a lightweight, durable ABS polymer chassis. It has a smaller footprint than previous receivers, and features an enhanced group and channel scan. Up to 12 compatible systems per frequency band (region dependent). It features microprocessor-controlled internal antenna diversity, one-touch QuickScan frequency selection quickly locates the best frequency, 1/4" and XLR audio outputs, and two color audio status indicator LED.

This package includes the WA302 1/4" to TA4F cable to plug your guitar into the BLX1 bodypack transmitter.

Flimsy piece of junk

I bought this to upgrade from an X-Vive system. That was a fun entry level wireless system, but too vulnerable to interference to be used in a performance situation. Unfortunately, I knew this Shure system was going back to GC when I was taking it out of the package and noticed the sending unit weighs about as much as a Nickle. It it one of the flimsiest, under-designed products I have ever seen. Drop this thing once on anything but 70's deep pile carpet, and its done. The receiving unit is three times the size it needs to be and also housed in thin plastic. A toddler would crush it. I set it up and tested it, and it worked flawlessly. Like so many manufacturers of refrigerators and dishwashers, they figured out the hard part brilliantly and paid no attention to durability, or how the thing would actually get used in the real world. This is some of the worst product design I've ever seen, and I won't be a part of it. A throwaway-quality product that will either have duct tape holding it together or be in a landfill within a year.

    I have occasionally struggled with wireless systems that had so many options and features that I gave up. This one is simple. Turn on the receiving unit, and it finds the best frequency for the room. Enter that frequency on the transmitter, and you're done. It sounds great, completely transparent.

  • Great purchase!

    This was perfect for my budget and being a bassist finding the right rig was a pain til I came across this one. It's super easy to set up and have been having a blast using it and it is active pickup and effect friendly especially with a bass pedal board.

  • Very reliable

    I play bass in a local band. Even though the transmitter feels like cheap plastic, I've dropped it, but it's fine. It works great.

    There is plastic and then there is plastic. These units are made of ABS plastic like LEGO blocks. They are extremely durable. I had my first gig with it last Saturday, and of course the first thing I did was drop it about 3 feet onto the concrete floor of the brewery. The battery compartment popped open and one of the batteries came out. There wasn't a scratch on the transmitter. I replaced the battery, scanned for the clearest channel on the receiver, set the transmitter to match, and had clear, perfect sound for the whole 3 hour show. It sounds better than a cable, IMO. Zero latency. There is maybe a slight coloration and compression, but like Shure microphones, any coloration is in a good way that helps it pop in a mix.
