Shure ADX2FDTA/VP68=-G57 Digital Handheld Wireless Microphone Transmitter with VP68 Capsule (G57: 470 to 616 MHz) (TAA-Compliant)

Product Overview

The Shure ADX2FDTA/VP68=-G57 is a professional Axient Digital frequency diversity handheld wireless microphone transmitter equipped with the VP68 omnidirectional condenser capsule, operating in the G57 frequency band (470–616 MHz). The VP68’s omnidirectional pickup pattern makes this transmitter the specification choice for presenters, speechgivers, and broadcast talent who require natural, uncolored audio reproduction without directional constraints. TAA-compliant for U.S. government and federal procurement, this transmitter delivers omnidirectional audio capture with the dual-carrier RF reliability of the Axient Digital platform.

Product Description

The ADX2FDTA/VP68=-G57 is specified when a natural, open sound field is required and the directional discipline of cardioid or supercardioid capsules is not practical — such as for roving presenters, panel discussions, or settings where the microphone cannot be kept on-axis. The VP68 omnidirectional condenser capsule provides consistent audio pickup regardless of presentation angle, with natural frequency response suited to speech and presentation applications. Frequency diversity transmits simultaneously on two independent RF carriers in the G57 band, with ShowLink® 2.4 GHz enabling real-time parameter control from the operator station. Tuning bandwidth of up to 184 MHz across the G57 band provides the spectrum flexibility needed for complex multi-channel commercial AV system designs. SB920A rechargeable batteries deliver up to 6.5 hours in FD mode and up to 9 hours single-carrier. For a cardioid capsule alternative on the same platform, see the Shure ADX2FDTA/SM58=-G57.

Key Features

• Frequency Diversity Transmission — Dual-carrier simultaneous RF broadcast protects against signal dropouts in complex commercial AV and broadcast RF environments.
• VP68 Omnidirectional Condenser Capsule — Picks up audio evenly from all directions with natural, uncolored frequency response — ideal for presentations, panel discussions, and applications where on-axis mic discipline is not practical.
• TAA-Compliant — Qualifies for U.S. federal, DoD, and GSA-funded procurement under Trade Agreements Act requirements.
• ShowLink® Remote Control — 2.4 GHz wireless parameter adjustment of gain, mute, and RF settings from the operator position in real time.
• Up to 184 MHz Tuning Bandwidth (G57) — Broad spectrum coverage across 470–616 MHz supports multi-channel system deployments in spectral-dense environments.
• SB920A Rechargeable Battery System — Two batteries included; up to 6.5 hours FD mode, up to 9 hours single-carrier.
• Standard and High Density Transmission Modes — Flexible configuration for standard coverage or maximum simultaneous channel-count deployments.
• Axient Digital Ecosystem Integration — Compatible with Axient Digital receivers, Wireless Workbench® 6, and ShureCloud.

Typical Applications

• Government and federal agency presentation and panel discussion spaces (TAA-compliant)
• Conference room roving presenter and moderator wireless systems
• Boardroom AV installations requiring natural, uncolored speech capture
• Auditorium and multi-purpose room panel discussion setups
• Broadcast interview and talk applications
• All-hands room presenter wireless systems
• Training room deployments where presenter movement is unrestricted

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I specify the VP68 omnidirectional capsule versus a cardioid or supercardioid?
The VP68 omnidirectional capsule is best suited for presenters who move significantly, panel discussions with multiple speakers sharing a single handheld, or applications where consistent audio pickup from varying angles is more important than feedback rejection. Cardioid and supercardioid capsules are preferred where gain-before-feedback is a primary requirement, such as live music or high-SPL reinforcement environments.

What receivers are compatible with the ADX2FDTA/VP68=-G57?
Axient Digital G57-band receivers, including the AD4D and AD4Q, are compatible. Frequency band must match between transmitter and receiver.

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

Can the VP68 capsule be swapped for a different polar pattern?
Yes. Axient Digital ADX2FD transmitters accept RPW-series wireless capsule adapters for field capsule changes. The RPW124 is the omnidirectional condenser replacement capsule compatible with this series. Consult the Shure capsule compatibility guide before ordering.
