Description
The Shure AD2 handheld wireless transmitter with KSM9 capsule is engineered for elite vocal performance in demanding live environments. Built for compatibility with Axient Digital systems, this transmitter delivers exceptional RF stability, pristine audio clarity, and secure transmission for professional touring, broadcast, and installed sound applications.
Equipped with the KSM9 dual-diaphragm condenser capsule, the microphone captures vocals with remarkable detail and transparency. Its switchable cardioid and supercardioid polar patterns provide flexibility for different stage conditions, allowing engineers to optimize gain before feedback while maintaining natural tonal balance.
The AD2 transmitter features wideband UHF operation with selectable RF output power, enabling reliable performance across complex RF environments. Automatic gain adjustment simplifies setup, while AES 256-bit encryption ensures secure audio transmission for high-profile events.
Designed for durability and ease of use, the lightweight aluminum housing includes a backlit LCD for real-time monitoring of key parameters. Flexible power options, including AA batteries or Shure’s SB900A rechargeable system, make it suitable for extended use in professional workflows.
