Know before you buy
Yes, the BLX88 receiver is designed to handle both PG58 microphones at the same time. It uses UHF technology with 10 selectable channels to ensure a stable, interference-free connection for both vocalists.
The PG58 microphones feature a cardioid polar pattern, which is highly effective at picking up sound directly in front of the mic while rejecting noise from the sides and rear. This makes them ideal for live karaoke or stage performances where ambient noise is a factor.
The system offers a reliable working range of up to 75 meters (250 feet) under typical conditions. The internal antenna diversity helps maintain a consistent signal even as you move around the stage.
The receiver includes both XLR and 1/4-inch output connectors, allowing you to plug directly into most standard mixers, audio interfaces, or powered speakers. An XLR cable is included in the box to get you started.
Each handheld transmitter provides up to 8 hours of continuous use on a fresh set of AA alkaline batteries. For frequent users, the system is also compatible with rechargeable AA batteries.
While these microphones are excellent for live karaoke and stage use, they are dynamic mics optimized for performance. If you are looking for studio-grade vocal recording, you may prefer a dedicated condenser microphone, though this system is more than capable for high-quality live demos.
