The nickel Shure ADX2FD/N8SN Wireless Microphone Transmitter Nexadyne 8/Sis 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Any issues with audio drift on the internal recorder? I still have issues on the DJI even after the firmware update.

A: We have not heard of any issues with audio drift on the internal recorder for the Hollyland LARK MAX Duo 2-Person Wireless Microphone System.

Q: 2. Can you use a lavalier from another system, like Sennheiser with the Lark Max transmitter?

A: You can use lavalier microphones from other wireless systems that use a non-locking 3.5mm connector. The transmitters included with the Hollyland LARK MAX Duo 2-Person Wireless Microphone System have a non-locking 3.5mm input and Sennheiser-compatible microphones have a locking 3.5mm input. The locking ring on the Sennheiser mic can interfere with the connection to the non-locking input, so they may not make a proper connection. You can use a mic like the Saramonic SR-M1 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone Cable with 3.5mm TRS Connector (B&H # SASRM1) or the Shure MOTIV MVL Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (B&H # SHMVL35MM).

Q: 3. How long can this mic stay in standby mode if using a lithium battery?

A: I'm not sure about standby mode but I've gotten 3.5-4 hours out of use out of the thing. I always use lithium batteries. Energizer makes two different ones though: Advanced which they say lasts up to 6 times longer and Ultimate which they say lasts up to 9 times longer. Great mic!

Q: 4. does the tx provide phantom power when using external mics?

A: Hi John, so far the tx does not support phantom power when using external mics

Q: 5. Is this an updated model to the Sony UTX-M03?

A: The UTX-M40 transmitter is a new model from Sony's UWP-D series while the UTX-M03 transmitter is from the older UWP series.

Q: 6. Can this mic be used with the UWP-D11 receivers? And more specifically, can they sync channels with the IR feature found on the side of the UWP D11 receiver pack?

A: Yes, this mic can be used with a receiver from the UWP-D11 system. There is an IR sensor on the bottom of the mic to allow for IR syncing. Please note, the transmitter frequency range must match that of the receiver.

Q: 7. Is there a cable available to attach directly to iPhone 12 Pro Max? I want to use with DJI OM4 gimble.

A: To connect this system to an iPhone 12 Max, you will need the following two adapters, B&H # ROSC4 and B&H # APLAADAP.

Q: 8. Does this kit include lavaliers?

A: The Hollyland LARK MAX Duo does not include any external lavalier microphones.

Q: 10. I'm getting a SYNC ERROR when attempting to sync this (UTX-M40) to the URX-P41D receiver. Can't find any info online. Any advice?

A: You can find instructions on how to sync the Sony UTX-M40 Wireless Handheld Cardioid Microphone Transmitter and the Sony URX-P41D Dual-Channel Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver in the user manual. The information for "Operation" that begins on page 23 should be helpful. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/833188.pdf
