Specifically engineered to provide live stage performers with a clear, detailed vocal sound that rivals studio mics, the nickel Nexadyne 8/C Capsule from Shure is a cardioid dynamic vocal microphone capsule for use with Shure handheld wireless transmitters. The 8/C features an innovative Revonic dual-transducer design that uses two separate, but interdependent sets of diaphragms, voice coils, and magnets. This unique technology gives this dynamic mic condenser-like clarity with a crisp, yet natural high-end and plenty of detail—allowing vocalists to worry less about mic technique and instead focus on delivering powerful performances.

The cardioid polar pattern provides focused yet forgiving audio capture centered on the performer in front of the mic, reducing bleed from other sources and on-stage monitors for clearer sound. A dent-resistant grille protects the microphone element, ensuring it survives the rigors of daily stage use. The Nexadyne 8/C capsule will work with any Shure handheld wireless transmitter that supports interchangeable capsules including the Axient, ULX-D, QLX-D, and SLX-D systems.

• Shure's Revonic system is an innovative dynamic microphone design that uses two matched dynamic transducers, working in conjunction, to provide more opportunity for both greater sound quality and the rejection of unwanted signal.
• Wiring the transducers out-of-phase cancels mechanical vibration, so self-noise is actively zeroed out. This makes traditional pneumatic shockmounts unnecessary, and allows the transducers to be optimized for acoustic performance.
• Vocal performers will experience natural and vivid clarity when performing—enabled by a cartridge design that optimizes signal output acoustically, producing more of the desired sound source and less environmental and handling noise.
• Engineers will receive stronger and clearer output, resulting in fewer EQ corrections that are often necessary with other mics to retain vocal clarity within the mix.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can you replace the cardioid mics with omni directional mics?

A: Yes, there are many omnidirectional replacement lavaliers compatible for use with the Shure BLX188/CVL Dual-Channel Wireless Cardioid Lavalier Microphone System. The microphones in this system are not currently able to be swapped pre-purchase, but additional mics could be added. The following link shows currently listed omnidirectional lavalier options from Shure, which is a small sampling of potentially compatible omni microphones: https://bhpho.to/3977fE5

Q: 2. This says "antenna diversity" so how does that compare to true diversity?

A: The Shure BLX188/CVL Dual-Channel Wireless Cardioid Lavalier Microphone System only specifies "microprocessor-controlled internal antenna diversity" but does not get more specific on the type of diversity implemented. This article provides a good explanation of the differences in diversity types: https://bit.ly/3J80yOw

Q: 3. Can I buy several sets on two different bands for 12 mics all working at the same time a?

A: Yes you can use 3 systems of the Shure BLX188/CVL in one band and 3 in another band to be able to use 12 mics at the same time without their signals interfering.

Q: 4. Can these be mounted in a rack, or does it cause issues with the internal antennas?

A: The Shure BLX188 receiver is specifically designed to be a tabletop receiver, and is not rackmountable as per the manufacturer. The only BLX series that are rackmountable are the BLX14R and BLX24R models of single channel recievers.

Q: 5. Am I able to record audio to be used for video with this system, or is this strictly for presenters? I'm looking for a mic system that would work for both.

A: This will work for both presenter and camera and will output two diferent levels. The XLR outputs mic level and the 1/4" outputs instrument level. If using with a camera you may need to adapt the XLR to 3.5mm with this https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/387850-REG/Rode_VXLR_VXLR_Mono_Mini_Jack.html?sts=pi&pim=Y

Q: 6. BLX24/PG58-H11 What is difference in the H-11 and H-9?

A: The difference between the H9 frequency band of the Shure BLX24/PG58 Wireless Handheld Microphone System with PG58 Capsule and the H11 frequency band is the operational frequencies. H9 covers 512 to 542 MHz, and H11 covers 572 to 596 MHz. Deciding which one is best can be influenced by factors such as location (where Shure's Frequency Finder comes in handy) as well as whether you are using the new wireless system(s) alongside any existing wireless, and if so, how the new frequencies will interact with the existing frequencies.

Q: 7. what is the difference between Hi8 and J10 Shure wireless systems?

A: Same systems, features, and performance characteristics. They operate on slightly different UHF frequency bands:H8: 518 - 542 MHzJ10: 584 - 608 MHz

Q: 8. Are you able to output the sound of both Lav packs through only 1 output of the receiver?

A: The Shure BLX188/CVL Dual-Channel Wireless Cardioid Lavalier Microphone System does not have a mix output for both mic channels.

Q: 9. Could I buy two receivers, put them in adjacent rooms then switch channels on the transmitter to switch between the receivers?

A: Yes, if you have two Shure BLX4R Rackmount Wireless Receivers tuned to different frequencies, you would be able to connect one Shure BLX1 Wireless Bodypack Transmitter to either receiver alternately.

Q: 10. I saw it hads a 300' line of sight range. Will it xmit a very short distance through a wall or door?

A: It should like 75 feet, with the frequency it's on and hopefully it's not concrete and steel you should be fine. That freq is also not widely used so desensitization wouldn't be a issue and my work better then manufacturer specs. Sorry for the delay in response.
