Shure PGX14/WL93 Lavalier Wireless System

PGX14/WL93 Lavalier Wireless System description:

The Shure PGX Series wireless microphone systems combine the convenience of single touch remote channel setup with the reliability of a diversity UHF design. Created for active musicians and presenters who also manage their own sound, Shure PGX Wireless improves your performance and simplifies your setup. Innovations such as automatic frequency selection and automatic transmitter setup make wireless quicker and completely worry-free. Channel and frequency settings are remotely synchronized from the transmitter to the receiver via infrared. PGX systems now feature Shure’s patented Audio Reference Companding, delivering the crystal clear sound quality that pro audio engineers trust.

The PGX14/93 Lavalier Wireless System with WL93 Lavalier Microphone is ideal for theater, television, broadcasting, video, film, and sound reinforcement. The system includes the PGX4 receiver, PGX1 bodypack transmitter, WL93 - Black, with 4-foot (1.2 m) Cable, 2 AA batteries, Power supply and User guide.

The PGX4 receiver operates over an 18MHz UHF bandwidth (846 - 865 MHz) with the flexibility of selecting up to 90 UHF frequencies. It is possible to run 9 of these systems simultaneously with their own channel selections. The diversity design enables dual internal receiver circuits to compete for the strongest possible reception, minimising noise and RF interference. The rear panel has both XLR and 1/4 inch phone outputs.

The PGX1 bodypack transmitter is light weight and durable, featuring a 4-pin mini microphone input. The microphone input is compatible with Shure's WL series lavaliers, headsets and instrument cables. A 3-position input level switch enables the microphone input to accommodate microphone, line and Guitar level signals. The transmitter operates up to 8 hours on 2 AA alkaline batteries.

Model WL93 Microphones are economical omnidirectional, subminiature, lavalier, condenser microphones designed for general speech applications where a visually unobtrusive microphone is desirable. All WL93 models are supplied with a mounting block with attached tie bar, a sew-on mounting bracket, and an acoustic windscreen to minimize wind noise in outdoor applications. All WL93 models include a cable terminated with a 4-pin mini connector which connects directly to a Shure wireless body-pack transmitter
