Shure AD1LEMO3 – Axient Digital Bodypack Transmitter with LEMO3 Connector

Product Overview

The Shure AD1LEMO3 is a professional Axient Digital wireless bodypack transmitter with a 3-pin LEMO connector, designed for lavalier microphone, headset, and instrument integration in commercial AV installations, broadcast studios, and live performance environments. As the standard-tier Axient Digital bodypack, the AD1 delivers AES 256-bit encryption, High Density mode support, and wide tuning up to 184 MHz in a durable, lightweight aluminum housing. It accepts both AA batteries and optional Shure rechargeable batteries, providing flexible power management for fixed-installation and touring applications. Compatible with all Axient Digital receivers including the AD4D and AD4Q.

Product Description

The AD1LEMO3 is the LEMO3 connector variant of Shure’s AD1 Axient Digital bodypack transmitter, offering the same RF performance and audio quality as the TA4F version in a package optimized for lavalier and headset microphones that use the 3-pin LEMO connector standard. With selectable 2/10/35 mW RF output power, integrators can configure the transmitter for high-density systems (many simultaneous channels within limited spectrum) or standard-range deployments depending on the venue requirements. The AD1 operates on the same Axient Digital platform as the ADX2 handheld series, meaning both can be managed from the same Wireless Workbench session through compatible receivers. The automatic input staging feature adjusts gain to compensate for varying lavalier placement and SPL differences across presenters—critical in conference room and corporate AV environments. Shure’s SB900-series rechargeable batteries (optional) add precision battery metering and docked charging capability.

Also available: Shure AD1 with TA4F connector and the premium Shure ADX1 with ShowLink remote control for network-managed deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lavalier microphones are compatible with the AD1LEMO3?
Any lavalier or headset microphone with a 3-pin LEMO connector or a LEMO3 adapter cable is compatible. The AD1LEMO3 provides 5V bias power for condenser lavaliers. Phantom power (48V XLR-style) is not supported. Consult Shure’s compatibility documentation for specific lavalier model compatibility.

Can I use AA batteries if I don’t have rechargeable batteries on hand?
Yes. The AD1LEMO3 accepts 2× AA alkaline batteries with approximately 8 hours of runtime at 10 mW. Optional Shure SB900-series rechargeable lithium-ion batteries extend runtime to approximately 9 hours and add precision battery metering.

Does the AD1LEMO3 include ShowLink remote control?
No. The AD1 is the standard-tier Axient Digital bodypack and does not include ShowLink. For network-managed bodypack deployments with remote parameter control, the Shure ADX1 (available at Creation Networks) includes ShowLink capability.

What Axient Digital receivers are compatible?
The AD1LEMO3 works with all Axient Digital receivers: AD4D (dual-channel), AD4Q (quad-channel), and ADX5D. The receiver band must match the ordered transmitter frequency band.

Is the AD1LEMO3 compatible with Wireless Workbench?
Yes. When paired with a compatible Axient Digital receiver connected to Wireless Workbench 6, the AD1 transmitter parameters (frequency, power, name, battery level) can be monitored and configured from the network software interface, even without ShowLink.

What is the warranty on the AD1LEMO3?
Shure provides a 2-year limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for service support.
