Revonic dual-engine transducer technology gives this Nexadyne 8\/S supercardioid wireless microphone the clarity and feedback control needed on louder stages and in rooms with close monitor placement. The nickel finish is functionally identical to the black variant and is often selected to match existing broadcast studio wireless handheld microphone hardware or house preference. It integrates directly into an existing Axient Digital wireless handheld microphone system alongside compatible receivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ADX2\/N8SN runs on the same Axient Digital wireless microphone system architecture used across Shure's professional handheld line, letting AV integrators standardize hardware and workflow across a facility. The Nexadyne 8\/S supercardioid capsule narrows the pickup pattern relative to a cardioid design, rejecting more off-axis sound from monitors, adjacent mics, and room reflections — a real advantage in venues running higher stage volume or with in-ceiling speakers positioned close to the presenter or performer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWide tuning bandwidth gives system designers flexibility to coordinate this transmitter's frequency against in-ear monitors, other wireless mics in the system, and RF from nearby broadcast or building infrastructure. ShowLink remote control lets a technician adjust gain, mute, RF power, and frequency from a control position, and automatic interference avoidance actively steers around RF conflicts mid-event. Standard and High-Density transmission modes allow the same hardware to serve either a single-mic install prioritizing maximum coverage or a dense multi-channel commercial AV wireless microphone deployment prioritizing channel count. The SB920A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 9 hours of runtime in single-carrier mode, with external charging contacts for fast dock-based recharging 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\/S Supercardioid Capsule, Nickel Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — Revonic dual-engine transducer design with tighter off-axis rejection than cardioid capsules.\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 deployments.\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 based on venue 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelectable RF Output Power (2\/10\/40 mW)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Match 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\/S Supercardioid Dynamic, Nickel finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolar Pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupercardioid\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\/N8SN compatible with existing Axient Digital receivers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
