Shure BLX24/SM58: The SM58 Goes Wireless

The SM58’s brightened midrange and bass roll-off give vocals and speech warmth and clarity, while its cardioid pattern rejects background noise and feedback. The built-in spherical wind and pop filter keeps plosives under control, and BLX wireless frees you to move around the stage or room.

Simple Setup With QuickScan

Press the QuickScan button on the receiver to find an open frequency, then match the transmitter with its group and channel buttons. An LED display shows settings, and indicators confirm when the system is ready and the strength of the audio signal.

Setting Up the BLX24/SM58

Install two AA batteries in the transmitter, power on the receiver, and run QuickScan. Set the transmitter to the matching group and channel, then connect the receiver’s XLR or 1/4-inch output to your mixer or powered speaker. Adjust transmitter gain if needed.

What to Pair With the BLX24/SM58

Pair the BLX24/SM58 with rechargeable AA batteries, a mic stand and clip, an XLR cable, a powered speaker or mixer, and the WA621 color ID caps for multi-mic systems.

Expandable System

Run up to 12 compatible BLX systems per frequency band for multiple presenters or performers, and choose from handheld, lavalier, headset, and instrument options as your needs grow.

Lightweight, Durable Transmitter

The BLX2 handheld is comfortable to hold, with an accessible power switch, adjustable gain, and a durable build that holds up to everyday use.

Where to Use It

The BLX24/SM58 suits live performances in small venues, weddings, houses of worship, conference rooms, classrooms, and corporate events.

Tips for Reliable Wireless

Keep the receiver in line of sight with the transmitter and away from metal racks, Wi-Fi routers, and LED walls. Rescan with QuickScan at each new venue, and replace or recharge batteries before every event for consistent performance.

Microphone Technique

Hold the SM58 close, about one to two inches from the mouth, and keep it pointed at your mouth to take advantage of the cardioid pattern. Avoid cupping the grille, which can cause feedback and change the tone.
