Description
The Shure Axient Digital Dual Channel Microphone Kit is a top-tier wireless microphone system built for mission-critical applications — live broadcast, high-profile corporate keynotes, concert tours, and any event where wireless dropout is not an option. Axient Digital represents the pinnacle of Shure’s wireless technology, with interference detection and avoidance, encrypted audio, and spectral efficiency that allows more channels in less bandwidth.
What’s Included
- 1x Shure AD4DUS Axient Digital Dual Channel Receiver — Networked dual-channel receiver with Dante audio output, real-time spectrum scanning, and ShowLink remote control. The AD4D provides true diversity reception with quadrature IF filtering for bulletproof performance in dense RF environments.
- 2x Shure AD2/SM58 Handheld Wireless Microphones — Frequency-diversity handheld transmitters with the industry-standard SM58 capsule. Frequency diversity means each mic transmits on two frequencies simultaneously — if one encounters interference, the other takes over smoothly. No dropouts, ever.
- 2x Shure ADX1 Bodypack Transmitters — Compact bodypack transmitters for lavalier and headset microphones. Features ShowLink remote control, internal logging, and the same frequency-diversity technology as the handhelds.
- 4x Shure SB920A Rechargeable Batteries — Lithium-ion batteries for the ADX2 handheld transmitters (2 per mic for hot-swap capability)
- 4x Shure SB910 Rechargeable Batteries — Lithium-ion batteries for the ADX1 bodypack transmitters (2 per bodypack for hot-swap capability)
- 2x Shure UA8 UHF Antennas (470–534 MHz (G50 band — NYC compatible)) — Dipole antennas for the AD4D receiver
- 2x Shure 1/4 Wave Bodypack Antennas — Flexible antennas for the ADX1 bodypack transmitters
- 1x Shure SBC240 Dual-Bay Networked Charger — Charges two batteries simultaneously with network monitoring and battery health reporting
- 1x Shure PS60 Power Supply — For the SBC240 charger
Why Axient Digital
Standard wireless systems work fine in simple environments. But in Manhattan hotel ballrooms with 50 other wireless systems on the same floor, or at a concert with LED video walls pumping out RF noise, standard systems drop out. Axient Digital was engineered specifically for these worst-case scenarios:
- Frequency diversity — Each transmitter broadcasts on two frequencies simultaneously. If one frequency encounters interference, the receiver smoothly switches to the other with zero audible artifacts.
- Interference detection & avoidance — The system continuously scans the spectrum and automatically moves to clean frequencies without operator intervention.
- AES-256 encryption — Military-grade audio encryption for confidential corporate events, legal proceedings, and broadcast.
- ShowLink remote control — Adjust transmitter settings (gain, frequency, lock) from the receiver or a laptop without touching the mic. Essential when mics are already on talent.
- Dante integration — Digital audio networking direct from the receiver to your console over Ethernet. No analog conversion, no ground loops, no cable runs.
Ideal For
- Corporate keynotes and shareholder meetings where audio failure is unacceptable
- Broadcast and live streaming with zero-dropout requirements
- Multi-presenter conferences with simultaneous wireless channels
- Concert and theater performances in RF-congested venues
- Houses of worship and large-capacity event spaces
- Events near LED video walls and digital signage
