Overview

The Shure BLX288/SM58-J11 is a complete dual-channel wireless microphone system built around two of the most recognized vocal microphones in live sound — the SM58. Each handheld transmitter houses a genuine SM58 cardioid capsule, delivering the warm, clear vocal reproduction and rugged reliability that sound engineers have depended on for decades. The BLX88 dual-channel receiver manages both channels from a single unit, with independent volume controls and signal indicators for each microphone, making it straightforward to monitor and mix two vocalists from the front of house.

Operating on the J11 frequency band, the system provides up to 300 feet of wireless range and 14 hours of battery life per transmitter using standard AA batteries. The unidirectional pickup pattern on each SM58 capsule effectively rejects off-axis sound and feedback, a critical advantage in live performance environments. Setup is deliberately simple — Shure designed the BLX line for performers and presenters who need professional wireless audio without complex RF management. Whether used for live music, karaoke, speaking engagements, or houses of worship, this system delivers dependable dual-mic performance straight out of the box.
