Shure BLX14UK/CVL-K3E Wireless Lavalier Presenter System

The Shure BLX14UK/CVL-K3E is a single-channel wireless presenter system built around the discreet CVL clip-on lavalier microphone. The package pairs the CVL with a BLX1 bodypack transmitter and a BLX4 tabletop receiver, and also includes a tie clip, windscreen, power supply and two AA batteries. The CVL uses a cardioid condenser capsule, which concentrates on the wearer's voice and helps reduce pickup from the surrounding room. One-touch QuickScan on the receiver searches for an open frequency, so setting up for a talk, lesson or service takes very little technical knowledge. Shure specifies a working range of up to ninety-one metres line of sight, although real-world range depends on the venue and on radio interference. The bodypack runs for up to fourteen hours on a pair of alkaline AA batteries and offers twenty-six decibels of gain adjustment. The BLX4 provides both a balanced XLR output and a quarter-inch jack output for connecting to a mixer, powered speaker or PA system. This K3E version operates between six hundred and six and six hundred and thirty megahertz; in the United Kingdom this band generally requires an Ofcom wireless microphone licence.
