The Revonic dual-engine transducer inside the capsule delivers clean vocal detail and strong off-axis rejection, well suited to broadcast, house of worship, and large-room presentation work. This nickel-finish variant is functionally identical to its black counterpart, giving integrators a cosmetic option without any change in RF or audio performance. It slots directly into an existing Axient Digital wireless handheld microphone system without additional configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ADX2\/N8CN is built on the same Axient Digital wireless microphone system architecture used across Shure's professional handheld line, giving AV integrators a consistent platform to standardize on across a facility. The Nexadyne 8\/C cardioid capsule uses two precisely calibrated transducers working in tandem, a design that reduces the corrective EQ typically needed on single-diaphragm dynamic capsules while maintaining tight cardioid rejection at the sides and rear of the mic. That rejection matters in rooms where floor monitors, in-ceiling speakers, or nearby broadcast microphones create feedback risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWide tuning bandwidth gives system designers flexibility when coordinating frequencies against in-ear monitors, other wireless mics, and RF noise from nearby broadcast trucks or building infrastructure. ShowLink remote control allows gain, mute, RF power, and frequency to be adjusted from a control position without physically handling the transmitter, and automatic interference avoidance actively steers around RF conflicts during a live broadcast or service. Standard and High-Density transmission modes let the same hardware flex between maximum-coverage single-mic setups and dense multi-channel broadcast studio wireless vocal microphone deployments. The SB920A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 9 hours of runtime per charge, and external charging contacts support fast dock-based turnaround between productions. The nickel-finish aluminum housing is moisture-resistant, with lockable controls and a backlit LCD that keeps channel, battery, and RF status visible at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNexadyne 8\/C Cardioid Capsule, Nickel Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — Revonic dual-engine transducer design for natural vocal tone and strong off-axis rejection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAxient Digital Wireless Platform\u003c\/strong\u003e — Wide tuning bandwidth and AES-256 encrypted transmission for RF-congested commercial AV integration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShowLink Remote Control\u003c\/strong\u003e — Remote adjustment of gain, mute, RF power, and frequency, with automatic interference avoidance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard and High-Density Transmission Modes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Balance maximum coverage against maximum channel count as venue RF density demands.\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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelectable RF Output Power (2\/10\/40 mW)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Adapt output to venue size and regulatory limits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoisture-Resistant Aluminum Housing\u003c\/strong\u003e — Nickel finish, lockable controls, backlit LCD for 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, Nickel 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, nickel 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\/N8CN compatible with existing Axient Digital receivers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
