Shure BLX14/MX53-S8 Wireless Earset System with MX153

Full Description

So how do I get set up?

It's simple. Plug the mic output (found on the back of the receiver) into a channel on your mixing desk. Just like a normal wired mic.

Press the group button on the receiver to perform a Quickscan. This searches your environment to locate the clearest frequency for your performance.

Plug your MX153 Earset into the TGQ connection on the transmitter. Use the group and channel buttons to ‘pair’ the transmitter to the receiver. The 'ready' LED on the receiver will light up. Finally, turn up the transmitter gain dial to suit your voice. And it's as easy as that! You can now perform with wireless freedom.

MX153 Earset Microphone

The MX153 puts some of Shure's smartest technology into an ultra-discrete earset. The implausibly small mic captures an incredible amount of detail. As well as enhancing intelligibility by preventing plosives and boominess. Your voice will sound beyond pristine.

The MX153 also offers a remarkably secure over-ear fit, thanks to soft-flex materials that accommodate you. It's slender, diminutive design is perfect for high-profile events - whether it be an important presentation, theater or broadcasting.

Comprehensive monitoring

With a Shure BLX System, you get wireless freedom with total peace of mind. The receiver’s ‘ready’ LED, telling you when your system is set up and secure. You don’t need to worry about signal dropouts.

If the channel starts clipping, an LED switches from green to red, letting you know when to adjust the transmitter's gain. There is even an LED monitor to tell you when the batteries are running low on the transmitter. Everything about the BLX Wireless System is clear and simple, for effortless setup straight out the box.

Legendary Shure durability

Boasting the tour-tough construction Shure are revered for.

The BLX14E/MX53-S8 has been rigorously tested to make sure it can handle any environment. All Shure wireless systems are subject to heat, cold, humidity and the ‘Shure drop test’. They are built to survive the demands of life on the road. They’re ready for every performance.
