Shure AD2TA/K9HSN=-G57 Digital Handheld Wireless Microphone Transmi...
Product Overview
The Shure AD2/KSM9HS (TAA-Compliant) in nickel finish is a professional Axient Digital handheld wireless transmitter paired with the KSM9HS premium condenser capsule, operating in the G57 frequency band (470–616 MHz). The nickel finish is commonly specified for productions and installations where the transmitter is visible on stage, at a podium, or on camera. The KSM9HS offers switchable hypercardioid and subcardioid polar patterns — a specialized pair of pickup positions that give audio engineers precise control over gain-before-feedback and off-axis rejection in demanding commercial AV environments. TAA compliant for U.S. federal procurement. Compatible with Shure Axient Digital G57-band receivers (AD4D, AD4Q, ADX4, ADX4D).
Product Description
The KSM9HS condenser capsule's dual Mylar diaphragm captures vocal detail with extraordinary clarity. Its hypercardioid and subcardioid switchable patterns provide two specialized pickup positions: hypercardioid delivers maximum gain-before-feedback and tight off-axis rejection for loud commercial environments including auditoriums, houses of worship, and large all-hands rooms; subcardioid offers a wider forward-facing acceptance angle that accommodates presenters who move or turn in conference rooms, training facilities, and government hearing rooms. The nickel-finished, moisture-resistant aluminum AD2 transmitter housing combines aesthetic versatility with commercial-grade durability. Wide tuning across the G57 band (up to 184 MHz), selectable RF output at 2, 10, or 35 mW, and AES-256 encryption are standard. IR sync enables rapid pairing with Axient Digital receivers during commissioning, and Wireless Workbench 6 integration supports centralized frequency coordination and remote battery monitoring across multi-transmitter installations. For a ShowLink-enabled upgrade within the Axient Digital ecosystem, see the Shure ADX2/B58 at Creation Networks.
Key Features
- KSM9HS Premium Condenser Capsule — Dual Mylar diaphragm delivers extraordinary vocal detail and frequency consistency for demanding commercial AV and broadcast applications.
- Switchable Polar Pattern (Hypercardioid / Subcardioid) — Field-adjustable between hypercardioid for maximum gain-before-feedback and tight off-axis rejection, or subcardioid for wider forward pickup — two specialized pattern positions distinct from the standard KSM9.
- Nickel Finish — Classic nickel appearance frequently specified for broadcast sets, podium presentations, and houses of worship where the transmitter is visible to audiences or cameras.
- Axient Digital Compatible — Integrates natively with Shure Axient Digital G57-band receivers for enterprise-scale wireless microphone management via Wireless Workbench 6.
- AES-256 Encryption — Military-grade encryption standard on all AD2 units, protecting audio in government, legal, and sensitive commercial AV installations.
- Wide Tuning Range (up to 184 MHz) — Broad frequency agility across the G57 band enables effective RF coordination in dense multi-channel wireless environments.
- High Density Mode — Maximizes simultaneous channel count per RF band, critical for large conference rooms, all-hands spaces, and multi-room commercial installations.
- Selectable RF Output (2/10/35 mW) — Three output levels allow AV system designers to balance range and channel density based on installation requirements.
- Moisture-Resistant Aluminum Housing — Durable, lightweight construction engineered for daily commercial-grade deployment across demanding AV environments.
- Rechargeable Battery Support — Compatible with Shure SB900A lithium-ion battery (sold separately) for up to 9 hours with precision hour/minute metering.
- Interchangeable Capsule Design — KSM9HS capsule can be swapped for other Shure capsules (KSM8, KSM9, SM58, Beta 87A) without tools for deployment flexibility.
- TAA Compliant — Qualifies for U.S. federal government procurement under the GSA Schedule and applicable federal contract vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I specify nickel finish for the KSM9HS?
Nickel finish is preferred when the transmitter is visible to audiences or cameras, such as broadcast productions, podium presentations, houses of worship, and formal government proceedings. Nickel and black variants of the KSM9HS have identical performance specifications; finish selection is primarily aesthetic.
What is the difference between hypercardioid and subcardioid on the KSM9HS?
Hypercardioid provides a tight, narrow pickup pattern with maximum gain-before-feedback and strong rear rejection — preferred in louder commercial environments where monitor speakers or adjacent sound sources require tight isolation. Subcardioid is a wider forward-facing pattern with minimal rear rejection, accommodating presenters who move or vary their position relative to the microphone.
What receivers are compatible with this G57-band transmitter?
The AD2/KSM9HS G57 nickel requires Shure Axient Digital G57-band receivers including the AD4D, AD4Q, ADX4, and ADX4D. Transmitter and receiver must operate in the same frequency band.
What does TAA compliant mean for this transmitter?
TAA compliance means this unit qualifies for U.S. federal government procurement under the GSA Schedule and applicable federal contract vehicles. Government agencies and contractors on federal projects can include this transmitter in compliant wireless microphone system specifications.
What are the battery and charging options?
The AD2 accepts 2x AA alkaline batteries for up to 8 hours or the Shure SB900A rechargeable (sold separately) for up to 9 hours. Shure SBC220 and SBC840 networked chargers support remote battery monitoring via Wireless Workbench 6 for multi-transmitter installations.
