Title: Audio Technica Pro302?
Post by: Fernando Lopez on April 17, 2016, 12:29:01 PM
Is the Audio Technica Pro302 VHF Handheld Wireless Mic a good substitute for a wireless BLX SM58?


thanks,

The Shure BLX uses UHF freqs and the AT unit uses VHF freqs.  Could be an advantage in some locations.

The Shure BLX is slightly more frequency agile.

The Shure BLX is listed in WWB6 (don't have IAS open now), whereas the AT unit may not be, which would require you to make a custom configuration  should you wish to add some AT units to a coordination.

The Shure BLX parts will swap with other common Shure parts (HH mic capsule, RX PSU, LAV element (TA4F plug)) if you have a failure.
