This white Shure UL4 UniPlex is a cardioid subminiature lavalier microphone equipped with a 3-Pin LEMO connector for compatible Shure wireless bodypack transmitters. Tailored specifically for speech, this professional microphone delivers superb directional capture of your voice for presentations, conferences, education, broadcast, and more.

The UL4 UniPlex features a 5mm subminiature capsule for unobtrusive placement on camera. With its directional pickup pattern, the mic offers high gain before feedback, making it well suited for speech at events with loud sound reinforcement. The thin, 1.6mm Shure Plex cable features a dual-redundant ground that serves as secondary shield, giving it added protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and unprecedented durability. The fully paintable cable is immune to memory effect and kinks.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this come with a hard case or soft case? Or just retail packaging

A: The Shure BLX wireless system comes in the original retail packaging and does not include a case. We do have a Gator Cases Carry Bag for Shure BLX Dual-Channel Wireless System (B&H # GAGMDUALW) which is sold separately.

Q: 2. Does this come with a windscreen for the mic?

A: Yes it does.

Q: 3. Can you use 3 of these units together? We need a total of 6 mics for a theater production.

A: Yes, technically you can use 3 of these systems together. The normal max channel count for BLX systems without frequency distribution is 6. Having little to no interference really depends on where you will be using this system. Please use Shure's Frequency Finder website to make sure you are purchasing the correct frequency band based off your area code. https://www.shure.com/en-US/support/tools/frequency-finder

Q: 4. Does this come with a charging base?

A: No, charging stations are sold separately.

Q: 5. Are you able to output the sound of both Lav packs through only 1 output of the receiver?

A: The Shure BLX188/CVL Dual-Channel Wireless Cardioid Lavalier Microphone System does not have a mix output for both mic channels.

Q: 6. what is the difference between Hi8 and J10 Shure wireless systems?

A: Same systems, features, and performance characteristics. They operate on slightly different UHF frequency bands:H8: 518 - 542 MHzJ10: 584 - 608 MHz

Q: 7. What receiver works best with this base?

A: The Shure MXW1 Hybrid Bodypack Transmitter with Microphone (Z10: 1920 to 1930 MHz) is designed to integrate into a larger "networked" audio system and uses transceivers from Shure's MXW line such as the Shure MXWAPT2 2-Channel Access Point Transceiver (BH #SHMXWAPT2Z10) to communicate with the larger system. The MXWAPT2 feeds a unit such as the Shure MXWANI4 4-Channel Audio Network Interface (BH #SHMXWANI4) for further system integration.

Q: 8. Is the mic head of Shure BLX188 Wireless Cardioid Lavalier Mic adjustable to the position of the source of sound? Will the mic capture the sound when the speaker turns the head sideway?

A: The lapel microphones in the Shure BLX188/CVL Dual-Channel Wireless Cardioid Lavalier Microphone System feature a directional (although wide) cardioid pickup pattern. When clipped to the collar, they should capture the speaker's voice in most orientations when the lapel microphone is oriented in an upward position, although perhaps to a lesser effect if the speaker turns their head.

Q: 9. What is the length of the cable?

A: The cable length is 2m (6.6')

Q: 10. Do these work with the paddle antennas to get more range or help with interference?

A: No, the Shure BLX88 receiver included with the Shure BLX188/CVL Dual-Channel Wireless Cardioid Lavalier Microphone System has built-in internal antennas and is not able to connect to external antennas. For this option, you will want to consider using the Shure BLX4R, SLX-D, QLX-D, and ULX-D series receivers.
