Shure BLX1288/CVL Dual-Channel Wireless Combo Lavalier & Handheld Microphone System

The Shure BLX1288/CVL-J11 is a wireless microphone system that gives you two independent channels, one for a lavalier and one for a handheld, so you can cover speeches, vocals, and announcements with a single package.

At the heart of the system sits the BLX88 receiver. It scans 123 available frequencies with the QuickScan function and locks onto the clearest ones in seconds. Once set, the signal can travel up to 300 feet line of sight, keeping presenters, officiants, and performers free to move around small venues, wedding halls, or houses of worship without dropouts.

The CVL lavalier microphone clips neatly to clothing and connects to the BLX1 bodypack transmitter. Its cardioid pickup pattern focuses on the person speaking and helps reduce noise from the room, making it a solid choice for lectures, ceremonies, or video shoots where discreet placement matters.

For moments that call for more presence or audience interaction, the BLX2 handheld transmitter comes fitted with a PG58 capsule. This dynamic element with a cardioid pattern is tuned for clear, natural vocals and resists feedback, whether you hand it to a guest for a toast or use it on stage for lead vocals.

Each transmitter runs up to 14 hours on two AA batteries, so an entire event or multiple rehearsal sessions can pass without a battery change. Because both channels operate simultaneously, you can mix and match the lavalier and handheld as needed—interview a guest while addressing the crowd, or switch from scripted speech to live vocals without swapping gear.
