Shure ADX1 Digital Wireless Bodypack Transmitter with TA4M

Product Overview

The Shure ADX1 is a professional ShowLink-enabled digital wireless bodypack transmitter for the Axient Digital Wireless System, engineered for demanding broadcast, theater, corporate AV, and live event production where RF transparency and remote management are critical. The ADX1 features wide tuning up to 184 MHz, High Density transmission mode, AES encryption, advanced rechargeability, and ShowLink remote control for real-time parameter adjustments from the FOH or production booth. AV integrators and broadcast engineers specify the ADX1 Axient Digital bodypack for high-channel-count wireless systems where every frequency decision matters.

Product Description

The Shure ADX1 Axient Digital bodypack transmitter combines impeccable RF performance with a slim, lightweight, moisture-resistant metal case designed for performer comfort and durability in professional environments. ShowLink diversity remote control enables real-time transmitter parameter adjustment—including gain, mute, and channel—directly from Wireless Workbench software without interrupting performance, critical for broadcast productions and corporate events with changing room configurations. The ADX1 features a removable antenna and fully concealed buttons and switch for a minimal profile under costume or wardrobe. Up to 10 hours of runtime is available with the included SB910 rechargeable batteries, with external docking contacts for in-station charging. Two transmission modes—Standard for optimal coverage and High Density for maximum simultaneous channel count—enable the system to adapt to varying deployment scales. Available with TA4 (TQG) connector only (for LEMO3, see ADX1LEMO3).

Key Features

• ShowLink Diversity Remote Control — Enables real-time transmitter parameter adjustment (gain, mute, channel) from Wireless Workbench software without manual transmitter access, essential for broadcast productions and installed AV where performers are inaccessible.
• Wide Tuning Up to 184 MHz — Broad frequency agility enables comprehensive channel coordination across complex multi-system wireless deployments and accommodates future spectrum changes.
• Standard and High Density Transmission Modes — Standard mode maximizes RF coverage; High Density mode maximizes simultaneous channel count within available spectrum for large-scale productions and conference centers.
• AES Encryption — Secure transmission protects wireless audio from unauthorized interception in government, corporate, and secure commercial installations.
• Up to 10 Hours Runtime with Rechargeable Batteries — Ships with two SB910 rechargeable batteries and external docking contacts for in-station charging, simplifying battery logistics across multi-transmitter installations.
• Removable Antenna and Concealed Controls — Removable antenna and fully concealed buttons minimize the transmitter’s visible profile under performer wardrobe or corporate attire.
• Durable Moisture-Resistant Metal Case — Lightweight metal housing with moisture resistance withstands the physical demands of daily professional use in touring, broadcast, and installed commercial environments.
• TA4 (TQG) Connector — Accepts TA4/4-pin mini lavalier and headset microphones from a broad ecosystem of professional AV microphone manufacturers.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio and television production wireless bodypack deployments requiring remote management
• Theater and performing arts productions with complex multi-channel wireless systems and wardrobe concealment requirements
• Large-scale corporate event production with high-channel-count wireless bodypack configurations
• Government and secure conference environments requiring AES encrypted wireless audio
• House of worship productions with multiple simultaneous wireless performers and musicians

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Axient Digital receivers is the ADX1 compatible with?
The ADX1 is compatible with Axient Digital series receivers including the AD4D (dual-channel) and AD4Q (quad-channel). Ensure all components share the same frequency band when building a system.

What is ShowLink and how does it benefit a commercial AV installation?
ShowLink is Shure’s proprietary two-way RF control link that allows real-time transmitter parameter adjustment—including gain, mute, power, and channel changes—from Wireless Workbench software at the FOH position or production booth without physical access to the transmitter. This is essential for productions where performers cannot be interrupted and for large installed systems managing many simultaneous wireless channels.

What is the difference between Standard and High Density transmission modes?
Standard mode provides maximum RF coverage range and optimal signal quality. High Density mode reduces transmit power to allow more simultaneous wireless channels within the same spectrum, enabling denser channel packing in large-scale deployments such as broadcast studios or major conference centers.

Does the ADX1 support AES encryption?
Yes. The ADX1 includes AES encryption to secure wireless audio transmission, meeting the requirements of government conference facilities, executive boardrooms, and secure corporate AV installations.

Is rechargeable operation included?
Yes. The ADX1 ships with two SB910 rechargeable batteries and features external docking contacts for in-station charging, compatible with Shure’s SBC200 and SBC800 charging stations for multi-unit battery management.
