Shure BLX14R/B98 Beta Wireless Instrument System

The Shure Beta Instrument Wireless System is excellent at capturing brass live or in the studio – be it saxophone, trumpet etc – and is just as good with percussion! Thanks to the clip on Beta 98H/C mic, you can position it securely in tight, often hard to reach spaces. A gooseneck design ensures you can place and aim it exactly where it’s needed, picking up your source accurately and in brilliant detail. 

Setup with the accompanying wireless receiver is extremely simple, thanks to an intuitive user interface and simple, hands-on controls. It’s built to perform right out of the box due to the channel scan, easy-setup architecture. Throw in a bodypack boasting a battery with 14 hours of continual use, plus an operating range of 100m, and you’ve got a well-rounded package that’ll let you roam the stage with confidence.
