How to install Shure BLX288/PG58 Wireless Dual Vocal System

• Position the BLX88 dual receiver on a stable surface or in a rack, ensuring adequate ventilation. Connect the receiver’s outputs to your mixer or PA system using the appropriate XLR or 1/4" cables, depending on your setup.

• Power on the BLX88 receiver and confirm that each channel is ready to pair. If your system includes antenna distribution, install and secure any distribution hardware per the user guide to maximize RF stability.
• Insert fresh AA batteries into each BLX2 handheld transmitter and attach the PG58 microphone capsule securely. Attach the grip to each transmitter and ensure the capsules are firmly seated and aligned toward the desired vocal direction.
• Power on the two handheld transmitters, then press the Sync button on the BLX88 receiver to pair each transmitter with its corresponding channel. Confirm that the channel indicators show a solid connection and that the transmitters’ LEDs indicate a healthy signal.
• Set your gain levels on the mixer for both channels, perform a quick sound check with the performers, and adjust the receiver’s input levels as needed to achieve clear vocal presence without distortion.
