"To sum the Shure BLX wireless system up, I would say for the money it performs beautifully. Every piece of gear is weighed against its price and this one offers a lot of bang for the buck."
When performance is freed from its wires, it can go to exciting places. But noise and dropouts can stop it cold. BLX® Wireless makes it simple to get great sound out of a dependable wireless system. And when you can go wireless without worry, you can perform without limits.

faq
Are the handheld transmitter capsules interchangeable?
No.
I perform all over Europe. What system should I buy?
The 2.4 GHz range that is used with GLX-D systems is usable globally without any need for registration. There is no UHF TV band used for BLX that can be used all over Europe and in many countries you need to register the systems.
