Shure BLX14R/B98 Rackmount Wireless Cardioid Instrument Microphone System

The Shure BLX14R/B98-J11 is a wireless instrument microphone system that pairs the BLX4R rackmount receiver with the BETA 98H/C clip-on cardioid condenser microphone, giving brass, woodwind, and percussion players a dependable way to bring their sound to the audience without a cable in sight.

Setup is quick: clip the lightweight gooseneck microphone to the bell or rim of the instrument, power up the bodypack transmitter, press QuickScan on the receiver, and the system automatically locks onto a clean UHF channel. With an operating range that reaches up to 300 feet, performers can move across the stage, step into the crowd, or reposition on a worship platform while keeping a solid signal.

The transmitter runs for up to 14 hours on two AA batteries, enough to cover rehearsals, soundchecks, and a full evening show on a single set. When it is time to pack up, detach the bodypack, fold the gooseneck, and stow everything in a gig bag or rack case.

For touring rigs or fixed installations, the half-rack BLX4R receiver slides easily into a standard rack space, and its removable antennas simplify integration with remote mounting or antenna distribution systems. Up to twelve BLX setups can share the same frequency band, so a full horn section or multi-instrument lineup can perform together without frequency conflicts.

Whether you are a gigging saxophonist, a marching-band percussionist, or an audio tech responsible for wedding receptions and small venues, the BLX14R/B98-J11 offers Shure audio quality, reliable wireless performance, and straightforward controls that keep the focus on the music, not the gear.
