The "Beta" Tone Serving a BLX System Designed for the Field
In the world of sound reinforcement, the "Beta" designation is associated with precision and presence, especially appreciated when you want to retain the attack and character of an instrument without making it harsh. The Beta WB98H/C (BLX4E + BLX1) follows this logic by combining a dedicated instrument microphone and an analog BLX wireless system focused on ease of use.
This approach makes it a coherent solution for setups requiring quick and repeatable deployment: the microphone's signature is preserved close to the source, while benefiting from a system designed for easy setup and storage. The range offers several complete kits and receiver options (single, dual, or rack-mountable) to adapt the configuration to the size of the setup and the number of musicians.
Freedom of Movement for Brass, Woodwinds, Accordions, and Percussion
This system is designed for musicians who move, pivot, walk among a section, or alternate between playing positions. On stage or in rehearsal, wireless provides real freedom: fewer cable constraints, less risk of snagging, and a more natural presence in front of the audience.
The WB98H/C microphone, with its integrated clip, aims for quick and secure attachment to the instrument. This close miking allows for a high useful level and a more consistent signal, helping maintain definition even in noisy environments. Whether in live studio recording, concert capture, or amplified stage settings, the goal remains the same: preserve the timbre while ensuring clear playback in the mix.
