The PG58 provides exceptional clarity with its tailored cartridge design and frequency response focused on vocal performances. Additionally, the PG58’s built-in pop filter keeps unwanted plosives and wind noise at bay.
The included BLX4 receiver is phenomenally simple to set up once out of the box, the casing is petite and light-weight but durable. The BLX4’ one-touch ‘QuickScan’ locates the highest quality open frequency, once found it displays as a letter and number ‘Group’ which you can set on the PG58 transmitter to quickly and easily get connected.
The BLX wireless system also has lock controls to ensure you never accidentally adjust settings, change frequencies or turn off your system. To lock the receiver simply press and hold the group and channel buttons simultaneously and to lock the transmitter, press and hold the channel button.
