Hi guys

I'm just about to buy a shure blx beta 58 system, then I thought well ...

I have an old shure u2 S2 mic here, which is a beta 58 and I'm wondering if I bought a blx sm 58 could I use my old cartridge instead.

Would it work

Many thanks

Kev

All Shure capsules are interchangeable between all handheld Shure transmitters of any generation.

Thanks Peter but according to the blurb in Thomann's pages it's not the case, as I recall the girth of a pg58 is much wider than that of a sm58 and I wouldn't expect the bits to be interchangeable ?

Cheers

Kev.

My cartridge looks very much like something thomann are selling.

Oh that...
Well, the mesh grills are not all interchangeable, just like with their wired counterparts, but the entire capsules definately are 100% compatible.

Ok Ta.


I don't understand it.


"Up to the blx on this one "

https://www.thomann.de/gb/shure_r179_wechselkopf.htm?ref=search_rslt_Shure+blx+24r%2F+sm+58+_135797_34


"Not for the blx " on this one

https://www.thomann.de/gb/shure_r158_capsule.htm?ref=search_prv_3


Both units have three rings on the circuit board.


I will just order it and see if it works.

Thanks

BLX and GLXD not because those have no replaceable cartridges, but integrated capsules in the body. Cheaper to make that way.

I would not take all the info provided on sites like Thomann, Bax and the likes too accurate. I've seen a lot of errors.

I answered in general, but looking back now to your original question about buying BLX and using an older cartridge, I realize you can't interchange them on BLX. If you want that, better buy something like SLX.
