Know before you buy
Yes, the BLX288 system includes a dual-channel receiver that allows you to operate both Beta58 handheld microphones simultaneously.
The Beta58 features a supercardioid polar pattern, which provides better isolation from background noise and higher resistance to feedback compared to standard cardioid microphones. This makes it particularly effective for loud stage environments.
The system utilizes UHF frequency operation to provide a reliable wireless range of up to 300 feet (91 meters) under optimal line-of-sight conditions.
Yes, the receiver features both XLR and 1/4-inch output connectors, allowing you to send individual signals to a mixer or PA system for independent level and EQ control.
The BLX288 is built with durable materials designed for professional use, making it well-suited for outdoor live performances. However, as with all wireless systems, ensure you have a clear line of sight between the transmitters and the receiver to maintain signal stability.
