The nickel Shure ADX2FD/N8SN is a digital handheld wireless microphone transmitter compatible with Axient Digital series receivers. It is ShowLink-enabled for automatic interference avoidance and real-time remote control of parameters. The transmitter also features Frequency Diversity for seamless audio in even the most challenging RF environments.

The ADX2FD/N8SN comes equipped with a Nexadyne 8/S dynamic supercardioid capsule, featuring 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 a 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 supercardioid polar pattern delivers tight directionality, high gain before feedback, and enhanced rejection of off-axis sound.

The transmitter operates in a single 140 MHz ultrawide UHF bandwidth. It provides up to 9 hours of operation on an SB920A rechargeable battery, with a transmission range up to 330' and a selectable 2/10/50mW RF output power. With a durable, moisture-resistant, lightweight aluminum case, the ADX2FD/N8SN transmitter delivers pristine audio quality, AES 256-bit encryption for secure transmission, and advanced rechargeability options, making it ideal for high-profile, sound-reinforcement applications.

• Frequency Diversity enables simultaneous transmission on two independent frequencies to ensure seamless, uninterrupted audio.
• Single-carrier mode is available if Frequency Diversity is not required.
• Switchable RF Power Levels: 2/10/50mW (single-carrier mode) and 2 x 2/10/20mW (Frequency Diversity mode).

• ShowLink technology allows the ADX transmitter to execute an automatic, synchronized frequency change in a matter of milliseconds, ensuring clean, uninterrupted transmission, even in the most challenging RF environments.
• You can also make instantaneous remote adjustments to your ADX transmitter settings (RF output, gain, mute, and more) when it is difficult or impossible to access the transmitter.

• Shure's Nexadyne 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.
• The supercardioid polar pattern provides tightly focused audio capture centered on the performer in front of the mic, reducing bleed from other sources for a clearer sound with substantially less feedback issues from on-stage monitors.
• The interchangeable capsule design allows you to replace the Nexadyne 8/S capsule with a Shure capsule that’s ideal for your application and simply screw it onto the transmitter—including the Nexadyne 8/C (cardioid), KSM8, KSM9, SM58, Beta 58A, Beta 87A, and Beta 87C capsules.

• The unit quickly syncs with a wireless receiver via infrared at the touch of a button.
• Automatic Gain adjusts the mic input level for you.
• The power button conveniently doubles as mute switch, while preserving RF lock.
• Frequency and power lockout functions prevent accidental or unauthorized changes during events.
• A backlit LCD with easy-to-navigate menu and controls lets you quickly access frequency, group, and channel settings, along with mute and lock status, RF output, and remaining battery life.
• Offset function lets you balance mic levels when assigning multiple transmitters to a single receiver slot. Adjustment range: -12 to +21 dB.
• Two transmission modes: Standard for optimal coverage and High-Density for maximum system channel count and robust coverage.

• Operates for up to 9 hours in single-carrier mode at 10mW on an SB920A rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
• Runs up to 6.5 hours in Frequency Diversity mode at 10mW x 10mW and up to 5 hours in single-carrier, high-power mode at 50mW.
• Rechargeable battery offers intelligent power management with precision metering in hours and minutes, and zero memory effect.
• External charging contacts allow for docked battery charging.
• SBC220 two-bay and SBC840 eight-bay networked chargers (both available separately) allow for remote power monitoring via Shure’s Wireless Workbench software.

Q: 1. If rechargeable batteries are in this unit, can it be recharged via USB?

A: No. This will not work as a charger.

Q: 2. WHAT RECEIVER DO I NEED FOR THIS?

A: Ideally you will get the EK500 receiver (for portable/camera work) or the EM500 for rack mount). It is also compatible with the 100 and 300 EW Evolution receivers, but in that case, not all frequencies of the transmitter will be available on the receiver. If you want it for camera work, this transmitter is also sold as a kit with a receiver, or as a kit with a receiver, body pack transmitter, MKE2 lav. Item# SEEW500BG4G1 and Item# SEEW500FILM1

Q: 3. Can you turn on/off, mute and unmute on the mic?

A: Yes. Page 72 in the manual for the Sennheiser G4 shows where to find the mute button. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/901687.pdf

Q: 4. Hello, So with the combo BH #SEME2835SR16 MFR #EW-D ME2/835-S SET (R1-6) will it be possible to use them simultaneously ?

A: No. The Sennheiser EW-D ME2/835-S SET Digital Wireless Combo Microphone System includes the Sennheiser EW-D EM Digital Wireless Receiver which has a single channel so only one transmitter can be used at a time with the receiver. To use both transmitters simultaneously, you will need a second receiver.

Q: 5. Will this work with the Senheiser AVX Wireless system? I want to plug this into an MKH416 and record boom audio wirelessly into camera.

A: No, the Sennheiser SKP 500 G4 Pro Wireless Plug-On Transmitter is not compatible for use with the AVX system. The G4 series is a UHF system (this particular transmitter operates on the 470 to 558 MHz band) while the AVX series is a digital system that operates at 1.9 GHz. Sennheiser does not offer a plug-on transmitter for AVX. The G4 series system is a better option if you need to use a plug-on transmitter that can supply phantom power for your MKH416. The SKP 500 transmitter is available separately or as a complete system with the EK 500 transmitter -- Sennheiser EW 500 BOOM G4 Camera-Mount Wireless Plug-On Microphone System with No Mic - AW+: 470 to 558 MHz (B&H # SEEW500BG4AW).

Q: 6. Does this work with the Sony a7III?
