The Shure BLX288UK/SM58 Dual Vocal Analogue Wireless System delivers legendary SM58 sound quality for two performers in one straightforward, gig-ready package. With simple one-touch setup, robust wireless performance and up to 14 hours of battery life, it is an ideal solution for bands, venues, houses of worship and events that need reliable, great-sounding wireless vocals without the faff.

Centred around the BLX88 dual-channel tabletop receiver and a pair of SM58 handheld transmitters, this system gives each vocalist their own dedicated channel, clear audio and the freedom to move. With a working range of up to 100 metres (line of sight) and the ability to run multiple systems in the same band (region and environment dependent), it is built to grow with your stage setup.

The BLX platform is designed to get you up and running in minutes. One-touch QuickScan finds the clearest frequency, while intuitive controls and status LEDs keep operation simple and stress-free. Powered by standard AA batteries, each handheld transmitter can run for up to 14 hours, so you can focus on the performance rather than power levels.

At the heart of the system are two SM58 capsules, the industry-standard dynamic vocal microphone trusted on stages worldwide. Their tailored frequency response and cardioid pickup pattern help vocals cut through the mix while reducing feedback and background noise, giving singers the confidence to perform at their best.

Legendary SM58 Vocal Sound

The BLX288UK/SM58 system includes two SM58 handheld transmitters, each with the classic SM58 dynamic capsule. Renowned for its warm, clear vocal response and controlled presence peak, the SM58 helps vocals sit perfectly in the mix. Its cardioid pickup pattern focuses on the voice in front of the mic and helps reject unwanted spill from drums, amps and stage monitors, supporting consistent, intelligible vocals night after night.

Simple, Fast Wireless Setup

Shure BLX is built to be as straightforward as possible. One-touch QuickScan on the BLX88 receiver automatically locates the clearest available frequency, so you can get both microphones online in moments. Clear status LEDs and minimal controls make it easy for performers and engineers alike to operate, reducing setup time and keeping soundchecks smooth.

Reliable Performance and Extended Range

With a working range of up to 100 metres (line of sight), the BLX288UK/SM58 system lets performers step out from the stands and into the crowd without dropouts interrupting the show. The dual-channel BLX88 receiver handles both transmitters at once, and BLX systems can support multiple channels per frequency band (region and environment dependent), making it suitable for expanding setups.

Long-Lasting Battery Life

Each handheld transmitter runs for up to 14 hours on a single pair of AA batteries, providing plenty of headroom for rehearsals, soundchecks and long performances. With no need for constant battery changes, you can concentrate on the performance and trust that your microphones will last the entire event.

• Dual SM58 Handheld Transmitters - Supplied with two SM58 handheld microphones, this system gives each vocalist their own dedicated wireless channel with the classic SM58 sound. The tailored frequency response and cardioid pattern help vocals stay clear and focused, even on loud stages.
• BLX88 Dual-Channel Tabletop Receiver - The BLX88 receiver manages two wireless channels in a compact tabletop unit, ideal for bands, venues and mobile rigs. Separate audio outputs and clear status indicators make it easy to integrate into your existing PA and monitor each microphone independently.
• One-Touch QuickScan Frequency Selection - QuickScan technology automatically finds the most suitable frequency at the press of a button, simplifying setup in busy RF environments. This helps minimise interference and ensures stable performance without needing in-depth wireless expertise.
• Up to 14 Hours Battery Life and 100 m Range - With up to 14 hours of operation from AA batteries and a working range of up to 100 metres (line of sight), performers can move freely and confidently. Longer battery life reduces running costs and the risk of mid-show power loss.
