Shure BLX24E/B58-H8E

Shure BLX24E/B58-H8E Wireless Vocal System — Pro Sound, Cable-Free

The Shure BLX24E/B58-H8E wireless microphone set delivers the legendary Beta 58A vocal tone without the cable. Built around a UHF transmission system on the H8E frequency band (518–542 MHz), this package pairs the BLX4 single-channel receiver with the BLX2 handheld transmitter and ships ready to perform. Singers, speakers, and mobile DJs get a clean, dependable signal across a line-of-sight range of up to 100 metres. Setup takes moments thanks to the receiver's one-touch QuickScan, which automatically locks onto the clearest open channel in the room.

What Sets the BLX24E/B58 Apart

At the heart of the system is the Beta 58A capsule — a supercardioid dynamic that rejects off-axis spill and stage noise far better than the standard SM58, making it ideal for loud stages and monitor-heavy rigs. The BLX2 transmitter's on-board gain control and LED status indicator let performers adjust level on the fly and confirm at a glance that the radio link is healthy. On the rear panel, the BLX4 receiver provides both XLR and 1/4\" instrument outputs, so it drops straight into any mixer, powered speaker, or audio interface without extra adapters.
