ShureBLX14/CVL Wireless Microphone System - 14-Hour Battery Life, 300 ft Range, UHF | Includes CVL Lavalier Mic, Bodypack Transmitter, Single Channel Receiver | H10 Band (BLX14/CVL-H10)

I provide DJ services for Weddings and Private events for about 10 years and growing, so I needed a replacements mic for my old one that went out on me for presentations/speeches. Came across this mic on amazon and been using it for a few months now. I would have to say I am very impressed with it so far, it has a far range and it does excellent job. THe hardware is of great quality. With DJ weddings, you want to be out of the way as far as possible so you don't interfer with the ceremony and this mic allows me to do that. The pastors like it because it does not allow them to hold anytype of mic so they could be intuned with the main reason why they are there.Pros:-Very easy to operate (One switch to turn on and off with no other buttons to confuse clients)-Good Transmittion power (tried it at different ranges and didn't show any signs of dropping signal or any introduced noise)-Works great outside-Works great for professional presentations-Clear audio-Able to pick your HMz-Very Light and unnoticeableCons:-the box that fits in your pocket is alittle big but most of the clients wear suits so it fits in their pocket perfect-looks cheaply made but it delivers excellent soundI would definitely recommend this mic to anyone presenting presentations or weddings.

The BLX is an excellent choice. Thr frequency selection is easy as they recommend the frequency based on zip code and local TV channels. Antenna is hidden on the receiver and has 1/4 jack or XLR for balanced output. Very good system.

The lightweight plastic chassis didn't inspire confidence when I first plugged this thing in. I thought I had bought a toy or something. But despite its fragile appearance, the wireless transmission and reception on this thing has been stellar. I use this in my home studio for narration on YouTube videos. Just as a test, I was able to get flawless reception everywhere in my house when the receiver base was in my basement studio. Through walls, out in the garage, upstairs, downstairs...not a single dropout. That's pretty impressive in my book.But the BLX14/CVL loses a star for the quality of the CVL lavalier mic that's included. It may be fine for public address, but for voiceover I thought it was terrible. It picked up a lot of handling noise and I could hear every time the cord was touched by hands or clothing. This handling noise is exaggerated even more if you send the mic through a compressor. And the sound quality is very boxy and nasally. I replaced it with the Shure WL-183 and there was a large leap in audio quality (aside from the WL-183 being omni while the CVL is cardioid). This still doesn't rival the sound quality of the Shure SM-81 that I use for a boom mic, but it's worth the compromise when I need hands-free wireless mobility.

The pieces feel like they are nicely built. Installation was extremely easy and literally took less than 10 minutes (including sound check) the sound is very good. We added a head worn microphone so looks are great and the pastors voice is very clear. We got rid of our problems with signal drop off when installing this unit because this doesn’t depend on line of sight.

Pros: manyCons: just 1… the clip on the microphone only allows one direction of installation.

Got it slightly used and the price was too good to pass up. This will continue to be my go-to wedding lav system for a long time.If you’re worried about wireless line of sight, I’d get the model up with external antennas. However, this is the perfect model for me. I have it mounted with a great line of sight and had zero issues with noise or dropouts.Make sure to verify the model works in your area and scan the frequencies in the venue area and you’re golden.

I have a Shure wireless handheld mic that I've been using for years for sound at my church. The quality, sound, construction and range have all been amazing. I decided to grab a Shure lapel mic after having cheaper ones that sometimes fail... I will stay with the cheaper ones. The Shure laviler set is very cheap build quality, terrible range and is limiting. I'm considering returning it as it seems a bit overpriced for what you get. The sound quality is good, no complaints there. The on/off switch on top is super tiny and super cheap... It will break off at any given moment. You really let me down on this one Shure.

Very easy to setup and works flawlessly
