Shure BLX1288/PG58 CVL Wireless Combo System

Meet the Shure BLX1288/PG58 CVL Wireless Combo System — a two-channel, plug-and-play wireless solution that brings professional vocal performance and clear, hands-free presentations to any stage or venue. This package pairs a rugged PG58 handheld dynamic microphone with a CVL lavalier microphone, delivering reliable wireless freedom, pristine sound, and flexible placement for performers, presenters, and educators alike. When you need a dependable wireless setup that travels well and installs fast, the BLX1288/PG58 CVL delivers. The handheld PG58 is a staple for live vocalists — robust, forgiving of rough handling, and featuring a cardioid pickup that minimizes feedback and background noise. The CVL lavalier is a compact, discreet microphone designed for voice with a natural tone and comfortable wear. The two-channel BLX4 receiver provides separate, independent channels, so you can run two speakers or presenters at once without stepping on each other’s signal. The system is designed to be simple enough for schools and houses of worship, yet robust enough for touring bands and conference centers. Setup is straightforward: connect the receiver to your mixer or powered speaker, insert batteries into the transmitters, pair them, and you’re ready to perform. Shure’s reputation for durability and sound quality means you’ll get reliable RF performance, extended range, and clear audio even in challenging environments with some RF traffic. This combo is ideal for applications ranging from live stage performances and karaoke to classrooms, boardrooms, and corporate events where you need reliable hands-free operation and a strong vocal signal.

How to install Shure BLX1288/PG58 CVL Wireless Combo System

• 1. Unpack the BLX4 receiver, PG58 handheld, CVL lavalier, antennas, power supplies, and accessories. Place the receiver on a stable surface or rack and connect its outputs to your mixer or powered speaker using the appropriate cables.
• 2. Install fresh AA batteries in both transmitters (PG58 and CVL lavalier bodypack). Ensure they are seated correctly and power is enabled on both transmitters.
• 3. Power on the BLX4 receiver and the two transmitters. Use the receiver’s auto frequency scan to identify clean, interference-free channels and ensure both channels are ready for pairing.
• 4. Sync the handheld and lavalier transmitters with the receiver. Use the sync control on the receiver (and the corresponding button on each transmitter if required) to establish secure links for each channel.
• 5. Clip the CVL lavalier to the talent’s clothing, positioning it about chest height. For best pickup, route the cable away from clothing rub and secure with the included clip or mic tape as needed.
• 6. Position the PG58 handheld microphone at a comfortable distance from the mouth (roughly 6–8 inches) and aim the capsule toward the mouth to optimize feedback rejection and vocal clarity.
• 7. Connect the receiver to your mixer or speaker system if you haven’t done so already. Perform a quick level check for each channel, ensuring the signals are clean and without distortion, and adjust the gain on your mixer accordingly.
• 8. Test both channels together to confirm there is no crosstalk or interference and that each mic remains independent in its own spectral space. Save preferred channel settings if your system supports memory presets.
