The black-finish capsule uses Revonic dual-engine transducer technology to deliver natural vocal clarity with strong off-axis rejection, making this a dependable choice anywhere a single, consistent presenter or vocal mic matters. It is built for commercial AV wireless microphone deployment where RF reliability and clean audio integration into an existing Dante or analog signal chain are non-negotiable. Houses of worship, broadcast studios, and auditoriums needing a house-owned handheld wireless microphone system will find the ADX2\/N8CB a straightforward fit alongside existing Axient Digital receivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ADX2\/N8CB is part of Shure's Axient Digital wireless microphone system, engineered for AV integrators who need predictable RF behavior across large, RF-congested venues. The Nexadyne 8\/C cardioid capsule replaces the aging Beta-series capsules with a dual-transducer Revonic design that reduces the need for corrective EQ while tightening off-axis rejection — a practical benefit in rooms with in-ceiling loudspeakers and floor monitors where gain-before-feedback is a real constraint. Wide tuning bandwidth (up to 184 MHz depending on band) gives system designers room to coordinate frequencies against IEMs, other wireless mics, and RF from broadcast trucks or house networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnboard ShowLink remote control lets an AV technician or FOH engineer adjust gain, mute, RF output power, and frequency from a distance, without walking a transmitter back to a work table mid-event. Automatic interference avoidance further reduces the chance of an on-air or mid-service dropout. Two selectable transmission modes — Standard for maximum coverage and High-Density for maximum channel count — let the same hardware serve either a single-mic sanctuary install or a densely packed broadcast RF environment. Power comes from the SB920A rechargeable lithium-ion battery, rated for up to 9 hours of runtime in single-carrier mode, with external charging contacts for dock-based recharging between services or shows. The black anodized aluminum housing is moisture-resistant and built to handle repeated handling, touring cases, and daily commercial use, with lockable controls and a backlit LCD that keeps status information visible to the operator without opening a menu tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNexadyne 8\/C Cardioid Capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e — Revonic dual-engine transducer design delivers natural vocal tone with strong off-axis rejection for gain-before-feedback in live rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAxient Digital Wireless Platform\u003c\/strong\u003e — Wide tuning bandwidth and AES-256 encrypted transmission support dense, RF-congested commercial AV environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShowLink Remote Control\u003c\/strong\u003e — Adjust gain, mute, RF power, and frequency remotely, with automatic interference avoidance to prevent dropouts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard and High-Density Transmission Modes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Trade off maximum coverage against maximum channel count depending on the venue's RF density.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSB920A Rechargeable Battery\u003c\/strong\u003e — Up to 9 hours of single-carrier runtime with external dock-charging contacts for fast turnaround between events.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelectable RF Output Power (2\/10\/40 mW)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Match transmitter output to venue size and local regulatory limits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoisture-Resistant Aluminum Housing\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black finish, lockable controls, and a backlit LCD for durable daily commercial use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial meeting space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-hands room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSystem Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShure Axient Digital Wireless System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrophone Capsule\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNexadyne 8\/C Cardioid Dynamic, Black finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolar Pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCardioid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTuning Bandwidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWide tuning, up to 184 MHz (band-dependent)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransmission Modes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard and High-Density\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemote Control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShowLink with automatic interference avoidance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRF Output Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 \/ 10 \/ 40 mW, selectable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSB920A rechargeable lithium-ion; up to 9 hours (single-carrier mode)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEncryption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAES-256\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHousing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMoisture-resistant aluminum, black finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisplay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBacklit LCD with lockable controls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the ADX2\/N8CB compatible with existing Axient Digital receivers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
