Product Description

The ADX2FDTA/K9N=-G57 delivers the KSM9’s studio-grade condenser performance with the RF reliability of dual-carrier frequency diversity transmission in a nickel-finish handheld transmitter. Designed for broadcast talent, professional vocalists, and conference presenters where audio transparency is essential, the KSM9 capsule provides high sensitivity and extended, natural frequency response. Frequency diversity transmits simultaneously on two independent RF carriers in the G57 band, with ShowLink® 2.4 GHz remote control enabling real-time gain, mute, and RF parameter adjustments from front-of-house. The included SB920A rechargeable batteries provide up to 6.5 hours in FD mode or up to 9 hours in single-carrier mode. For the black finish version of this transmitter, see the Shure ADX2FDTA/K9B=-G57.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between K9N (nickel) and K9B (black)?
Both use the identical KSM9 condenser capsule with identical audio performance. The difference is finish only: nickel (K9N) versus black (K9B). Selection is based on aesthetic preference for the specific stage or installation environment.

What receivers are compatible with this transmitter?
The ADX2FDTA/K9N=-G57 requires Axient Digital receivers in the G57 band. Frequency band must match between transmitter and receiver.

Is this product eligible for government procurement?
Yes. The TA suffix confirms TAA compliance, qualifying this transmitter for U.S. federal government, DoD, and GSA contract purchases.

Can I upgrade the capsule on this transmitter?
Yes. Axient Digital ADX2FD transmitters support Shure’s RPW-series wireless capsule adapters for field capsule swapping. For nickel finish transmitters, the RPW170 (KSM8) or RPW184 (KSM9) is the appropriate replacement capsule. Consult the Shure compatibility guide before ordering.
