Shure WA712-SIL Colored Handle Only for BLX2/PG58 Wireless

In this review the Shure WA712-SIL colored handle is evaluated as a simple, style-first replacement for performers who want to personalize their BLX or GLX-D handheld wireless microphones. The bottom line: this is a well-made handle that swaps in quickly and cleanly, offering a bold silver finish and the reassurance of Shure quality, but buyers must remember the wireless transmitter is not included. For anyone wanting an easy aesthetic upgrade or a serviceable replacement part, the WA712-SIL delivers on fit and finish without altering microphone performance.

Key Features

• Direct fit for BLX PG58: Installs in place of the original handle so the transmitter seating and controls remain accessible and stable.
• Shure model WA712-SIL: Built to the same construction standards as other Shure parts, providing confidence in long term use on stage or in rehearsal.
• Distinct silver finish: Offers a clean, light glossy look that updates the appearance of the handheld without changing audio behavior.
• Simple installation: The handle is designed for easy removal and replacement so performers can switch styles quickly between sets.
• Manufactured to quality standards: Materials and design are intended to withstand the rigors of live performance environments.
• 90-day warranty: Provides short-term coverage for defects and a no-worry purchase window.

Who It's For

The WA712-SIL is aimed at musicians, presenters, and venues that already use Shure BLX or compatible GLX-D handheld wireless systems and want a visual refresh or a replacement part. It is especially useful for performers who prioritize consistent fit and appearance across multiple microphones and need an option that installs quickly between songs or acts.

It is not for buyers who expect an entire wireless transmitter or want to change microphone capsules or electronics; the transmitter is not included. If you need a complete microphone or a different capsule type, look for a full transmitter model rather than a handle only accessory.
