BLX88-H10 – MIC
The Shure BLX88-H10 is a dual-channel tabletop wireless receiver designed for the BLX Wireless System. The “H10” designation refers specifically to its operating frequency band (542–572 MHz). This unit is a “workhorse” for AV rentals, offering a plug-and-play solution for corporate speaking engagements, weddings, and small-to-medium stage setups where two microphones are needed simultaneously.
It features Shure’s QuickScan technology, which automatically identifies the cleanest available frequency to prevent interference, and internal antennas to prevent damage during transport.

Model Configurations
- Dual Receiver: Unlike the single-channel BLX4, the BLX88 manages two transmitters (handheld or bodypack) in one compact chassis, saving space in your equipment rack or on the tech table.
- H10 Band Compatibility: Must be paired with transmitters (BLX2 handheld or BLX1 bodypack) that also operate in the H10 band.
- Visual Indicators: Features a two-color LED status indicator:
- Green: Normal audio levels.
- Red: Excessive audio levels (clipping/overload).
Key Features
- Setup Speed: One-touch QuickScan handles frequency coordination in seconds without requiring manual tuning or software.
- Internal Antennas: Eliminates the risk of broken or lost external BNC antennas—a common fail point in rental inventories.
- Compact Footprint: Replaces two separate receivers, reducing the amount of power outlets and cable clutter needed at the mixing station.
