Manual of product BLX1288/W85
Editorial note
The Shure BLX1288/W85 is a high-quality audio system that stands out for its excellent sound performance. With a total harmonic distortion of only 0.5%, it ensures faithful sound reproduction, ideal for recordings and performances. Its wireless range of 91 meters allows for great freedom of movement, and its battery life of up to 14 hours ensures prolonged operation without interruption. However, some aspects may limit its use. The weight of the receiver, which reaches 429 g, can pose portability issues, especially for dynamic setups. Additionally, while the battery life is adequate, it may prove insufficient for very long events, requiring frequent replacements of AA batteries. The range, although satisfactory, may not be suitable for very large environments, where interference may occur. In terms of design, the product is robust due to the use of Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS), but this does not fully compensate for its weight. Furthermore, the absence of transmitters included in the packaging may incur additional costs for the user, which can affect the perception of value for money. Overall, the Shure BLX1288/W85 offers excellent audio performance and durable construction, but it is important to consider its limitations in terms of portability and total cost.Score details
