Shure BLX14R/W85M Rackmount Wireless Cardioid Lavalier Microphone System (H10: 542 to 572 MHz)

The Shure BLX14R/W85M-H10 is a wireless lavalier microphone system that combines straightforward setup with reliable sound quality. It arrives as a complete package that includes a rack ready BLX4R receiver, a BLX1 bodypack transmitter, and the WL185m lavalier microphone. By moving the microphone off the lectern and onto the speaker, it lets presenters, instructors, and worship leaders speak naturally while keeping both hands free.

Setup is quick. Press the QuickScan button on the receiver and it automatically finds the cleanest frequency among 123 available channels in the H10 band. A one touch sync sends that setting to the bodypack, so the entire path is live in seconds. Once paired, the system can cover up to 300 feet in open space, giving plenty of freedom to walk a classroom, conference stage, or sanctuary.

The BLX4R receiver slides into a standard 19 inch rack and includes removable antennas that can be repositioned for better reception. An easy to read LCD shows audio and RF levels along with group and channel information. The adjustable output makes it simple to feed a mixer, powered speaker, or installed sound processor.

The BLX1 bodypack runs up to 14 hours on two AA batteries, so a full day of training or multiple services can pass without a battery change. A locking connector secures the WL185m microphone, and the compact housing remains comfortable on a belt or waistband.

The WL185m uses a cardioid pickup pattern that focuses on the speaker’s voice and helps reduce room noise, feedback, and side conversation. Its tailored frequency response brings out clarity in spoken word, which is essential in classrooms, boardrooms, and government chambers where every word counts.

Up to twelve BLX systems can run in the same band, so organizations can scale from a single presenter to a panel discussion or a multi room install without complicated frequency coordination.
