Shure GLXD14+B98 Dual-Band Wireless Instrument System

The new Shure GLXD14+B98 Dual Band Wireless Rack System features the precision-crafted BETA 98H/C flexible gooseneck microphone for brass, woodwind and percussion applications and the GLXD4+ half-rack receiver.

Go Wireless Without Complication.

With the new Dual Band Wireless Technology, GLX-D+ can operate in both 2.4 and 5.8GHz, more than doubling the available bandwidth. It intelligently avoids interference for reliable, dropout-free audio. The GLXD14+B98H/C features smart rechargeability with up to 12 hours of runtime. Also, the included lithium-ion battery can be charged multiple ways and offers quick charge capabilities.

B98H/C Miniature Instrument Microphone

The BETA 98H/C delivers high gain-before-feedback and rejection of unwanted noise. Also, it features preamplifier circuitry to improve linearity across the full frequency range, and tailored response for natural sound reproduction.

Characteristics of the BETA 98H/C

The BETA 98H/C has a tailored frequency response of 20Hz – 20KHz and a high maximum sound pressure level of 132dB (SPL). It has a cardioid pickup pattern providing high gain before feedback. It includes a 3 m (10ft) high-flex cable which is attached to the preamplifier. The pre-amp requires phantom power and connects to your mixer via an XLR connection.
