Need dual wireless mics for your next event? Check availability for the Shure BLX88 hire and get it delivered across Australia.
Why Hire Instead of Buy?
Let's be real. A quality dual wireless system like the BLX88 isn't cheap to purchase outright. We're talking over a grand for the full setup. But here's the thing—if you only need it for a few events a year, hiring makes way more sense financially.
Plus you get:
- Freshly checked and tested equipment every time
- No storage hassles between events
- Technical support if something goes sideways
- Flexibility to upgrade or change systems for different gigs
And batteries? Already sorted. No worries there.
What Makes the Shure BLX88 Actually Good?
Look, there's heaps of wireless systems out there. Some are rubbish. Some are decent. The BLX88? It's genuinely reliable—which sounds boring until you've dealt with dropouts mid-ceremony. Not fun.
Dual Channel Receiver
Two mics, one receiver. Simple as that. You can run two handhelds, two lapel mics, or mix and match. Perfect for interviews, Q&A sessions, or duets if you're feeling fancy.
Rock-Solid Frequency Management
The BLX88 uses Shure's QuickScan technology. Basically? It finds clear frequencies automatically. No faffing about with manual tuning. Set it up in minutes, not hours.
Proper Range
You're looking at roughly 100 metres line-of-sight. Obviously walls and interference affect this, but for most venues—conference rooms, function centres, outdoor stages—it's more than enough.
Audio Quality That Doesn't Suck
This is Shure we're talking about. The audio is clean, clear, and professional. Your guests won't notice the microphones (in a good way). They'll just hear what's being said without weird artifacts or that cheap wireless "sound."
What's Included in the Hire?
When you book the BLX88 hire, you typically get:
- BLX88 dual-channel receiver unit
- Choice of transmitters (handheld or bodypack)
- Fresh batteries
- XLR cables for connection
- Carrying case
Some hire packages include SM58 capsules for the handhelds—industry standard for vocals. If you need lapel mics, just specify when booking.
Perfect For These Events
Weddings: Celebrant and groom both need mics? Sorted. Vows come through crystal clear.
Corporate Presentations: Panel discussion with two speakers? No more passing a single mic around like it's 1995.
Live Music: Lead vocalist plus backing singer. Or vocalist plus acoustic guitar (using the bodypack with a guitar wireless system).
Community Events: School presentations, church services, council meetings. Anywhere two people need to be heard simultaneously.

Tips for Your Hire
Book early. Especially for wedding season (October through March). Popular gear goes fast.
Test before the event. Even if it's just 15 minutes the day before. Familiarise yourself with the controls.
Check your venue's frequency restrictions. Some venues (especially in Sydney CBD) have specific requirements. The BLX88's QuickScan handles most situations, but it's worth mentioning when you book.
Have a backup plan. Professional hire gear is reliable, but always know where the nearest music shop is. Just in case.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far can I move from the receiver?
Around 100 metres in clear conditions. Indoors with walls, expect 30-60 metres reliably. Still plenty for most venues.
Can I use it with my own PA system?
Absolutely. The receiver has standard XLR outputs. Plugs into any mixer, powered speaker, or PA system you've got.
What if something breaks during my hire?
Most hire agreements include reasonable wear coverage. Always check the terms, but you're generally not liable for equipment failure—just damage from misuse.
Is the BLX88 legal to use in Australia?
Yes. The units hired in Australia operate on ACMA-approved frequencies. Totally legal, no licensing required for the typical user.
