Shure ADX2TA/K9N=-G57 Digital Handheld Wireless Microphone Transmitter with KSM9 Capsule (G57: 470 to 616 MHz, Nickel) (TAA-Compliant)

Product Overview

The Shure ADX2TA/K9N=-G57 is a TAA-compliant Axient Digital handheld wireless transmitter equipped with the KSM9 switchable-pattern condenser capsule in a nickel finish, operating in the G57 band (470–616 MHz). Designed for US federal government procurement and professional AV installation, the nickel finish supports visual differentiation from black-finish units in multi-transmitter stage setups and matches the aesthetic requirements of formal government, corporate, and broadcast environments. It integrates directly with any G57-band Axient Digital receiver for a complete commercial wireless system.

Product Description

The ADX2TA/K9N delivers the full Axient Digital platform in a nickel-finished body with the KSM9 condenser capsule. The KSM9 provides switchable cardioid and supercardioid polar patterns, giving AV system designers the ability to tailor pickup behavior to the room layout and speaker monitoring configuration. The 184 MHz tuning range within the G57 band ensures maximum frequency coordination headroom in dense urban RF environments. ShowLink remote control enables real-time parameter management from the mix position, and AES 256-bit encryption supports secure audio in government and sensitive enterprise facilities.

High Density mode reduces channel-to-channel spacing to 125 kHz, enabling a much higher number of simultaneous wireless channels — critical for multi-room conference centers, government campuses, and all-hands facilities. For the black-finish version of this transmitter, see the Shure ADX2TA/K9B=-G57. For a high-sensitivity capsule alternative, see the Shure ADX2/K9HSN.

Key Features

• TAA Compliance — Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, eligible for US federal government and GSA schedule procurement without waivers or exceptions.
• KSM9 Switchable-Pattern Condenser Capsule — Cardioid and supercardioid polar pattern options adapt pickup to room acoustics, feedback margin, and speaker positioning requirements.
• Nickel Finish — Visually distinguishes this unit from black-finish transmitters in multi-microphone setups, supporting stage organization and presenter role identification.
• G57 Frequency Band (470–616 MHz) — 184 MHz tuning range provides maximum frequency coordination flexibility in congested UHF RF environments.
• ShowLink Remote Control — IEEE 802.15.4 wireless link enables real-time transmitter management from the operator position without interrupting live audio.
• AES 256-Bit Encryption — Secures audio transmission for government, legal, and enterprise security applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the functional difference between the ADX2TA/K9N (nickel) and ADX2TA/K9B (black)?
The two transmitters are functionally identical. The only difference is the capsule and body finish. Nickel-finish transmitters are useful for visual identification in multi-transmitter setups — for example, distinguishing presenter A's mic from presenter B's mic on a shared stage or in a conference room with multiple active transmitters.

What receiver is required?
This transmitter requires an Axient Digital receiver operating in the G57 band, such as the ADX4 or ADX4D. The frequency band of transmitter and receiver must match.

Is this eligible for US federal government procurement?
Yes. The "TA" designation confirms TAA compliance. This transmitter is eligible for US federal contracts and GSA schedule purchases.

Can I mix TAA and non-TAA Axient Digital components in the same system?
Yes. TAA-compliant ADX2TA transmitters are functionally identical to standard ADX2 units and fully compatible with all Axient Digital receivers, antennas, and chargers in the matching frequency band.

What warranty does this product carry?
Shure provides a two-year limited warranty on the ADX2TA transmitter body and a one-year limited warranty on the SB920 battery.
