Shure ADX1MTA=-K54 Digital Micro Bodypack Wireless Transmitter (K54: 606 to 663 MHz) (TAA-Compliant)

Product Overview

The Shure ADX1M Axient Digital micro bodypack transmitter is a TAA-compliant wireless transmitter purpose-built for professional productions and commercial AV deployments where transmitter concealment is a priority. At 68mm × 60mm × 18mm, the ADX1MTA=-K54 is among the smallest professional-grade wireless bodypacks available, operating in the K54 frequency band (606–663 MHz) with up to 184 MHz of tuning range. ShowLink Diversity remote control, High Density mode, and on-board encryption make it suitable for theater, broadcast, and government AV environments with demanding RF and security requirements.

Product Description

The ADX1M is part of the Shure Axient Digital Wireless System and pairs with ADX series receivers when matched to the same frequency band. Its patent-pending internal adaptive antenna optimizes signal quality when the transmitter is worn against the body, a significant advantage over external-antenna designs in theatrical and live performance contexts. The Ultem PEI construction provides heat resistance and durability suited to the physical demands of live productions. Sealed buttons and a recessed LEMO connector protect against sweat and moisture ingress. The high-contrast OLED display provides clear visibility in low-light stage environments. For the non-TAA version of this transmitter, see the Shure ADX1M Digital Micro Bodypack Wireless Transmitter available at Creation Networks.

Key Features

• Ultra-Compact Form Factor (68mm × 60mm × 18mm) — Engineered for maximum concealment in theatrical, broadcast, and commercial AV applications where transmitter visibility must be minimized on talent.
• Internal Adaptive Antenna — The patent-pending internal adaptive antenna optimizes RF signal quality when the transmitter is worn against the body, providing reliable wireless performance without an exposed external antenna.
• High-Contrast OLED Display — Provides clear status readout in low-light environments including stages, green rooms, and broadcast sets.
• Ultem PEI Construction — The high-performance thermoplastic chassis provides heat resistance and durability, protecting the transmitter from the thermal and physical demands of live productions and touring deployments.
• Sealed Moisture Protection — Sealed buttons and the recessed LEMO connector provide protection against sweat and moisture ingress during extended live performance use.
• Wide Tuning Range (Up to 184 MHz) — Tunes across up to 184 MHz within the K54 band (606–663 MHz), giving RF coordinators the flexibility to deploy large channel counts and avoid local interference.
• High Density Transmission Mode — HD mode maximizes simultaneous channel count in spectrum-congested environments such as large government facilities, broadcast studios, and enterprise campuses.
• Diversity ShowLink Remote Control — Operators can adjust gain, mute, RF power, and other transmitter parameters in real time via Wireless Workbench 6 without interrupting active audio.
• Encryption-Enabled Secure Transmission — On-board encryption supports secure audio transmission for government facilities, defense installations, and corporate environments with strict AV security policies.
• Up to 7 Hours Runtime — Includes two SB910M lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, each providing up to 7 hours of continuous operation for full-day productions and multi-session events.
• TAA Compliant — Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, qualifying this transmitter for U.S. federal procurement on GSA Schedule contracts and other government contracting vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Axient Digital receivers are compatible with the ADX1MTA=-K54?
The ADX1M is compatible with all Axient Digital receivers, including ADX4D dual-channel and ADX4 quad-channel rack-mount units, when matched to the K54 frequency band (606–663 MHz).

How does the ADX1M differ from the standard ADX1 bodypack?
The ADX1M is significantly smaller (68mm × 60mm × 18mm) and uses an internal adaptive antenna rather than an external removable antenna, making it better suited for theatrical and production applications requiring maximum concealment. The ADX1 offers both TA4M and LEMO3 connector options and up to 10 hours of runtime vs. the ADX1M's 7 hours.

Is the ADX1MTA=-K54 eligible for U.S. federal government procurement?
Yes. The TA= suffix denotes Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance, qualifying this transmitter for GSA Schedule contracts and other government procurement vehicles.

What batteries does the ADX1M use?
The ADX1M uses SB910M lithium-ion rechargeable batteries (two included). Note the ADX1M uses a different battery form factor (SB910M) than the standard SB910 used in the ADX1 transmitter.

What warranty applies to the ADX1M?
Shure provides a two-year limited warranty on the ADX1M. Creation Networks supports warranty claims and provides authorized service for commercial AV customers.
