Our flagship Shure Axient Digital 8-channel wireless handheld mic systems are supplied with high-quality DPA SC4060 lavalier microphones (also known as tie-clip or lapel mics).

With breakthrough RF performance and wide tuning up to 184 MHz, the Shure Axient Digital 8-channel wireless lapel mic system puts professional quality digital audio within reach. The Shure Axient Digital 8-channel lavalier wireless mic system features two transmission modes: Standard for optimal coverage and High Density for maximum system channel count and robust coverage.

As the new premier wireless solution in Shure’s portfolio, Axient Digital builds on the benefits of Shure’s UHF-R, ULX-D, and Axient wireless systems to create the most advanced wireless platform to date, suited for all professional productions and situations. Catering to evolving customer needs – especially in an environment of continued RF spectrum pressure – Axient Digital provides high-performance RF, exceptional audio quality, command and control, and hardware scalability.

One of the key features of the Axient Digital range is class-leading channel density, with up to 63 channels in a single TV band in high-density mode. Combined with Axient Digital’s wide frequency range, this makes large-scale wireless productions possible even in areas of high RF usage.

Our Shure Axient Digital 8-channel wireless lavalier mic systems include the following components:

2 x Shure AD4Q 4-channel wireless receiver
8 x Shure AD1 bodypack transmitters
8 x DPA SC4060 lavalier microphone
1 x RF Venue Diversity Fin antenna
2 x 5m BNC cables
2 x short BNC links to cascade between AD4Q units

DPA SC4060 lavalier microphones
Originally designed for use with wireless systems in theater, television and close-miked instrument applications, the d:screet™ SC4060 Miniature Omnidirectional Microphone, Hi-Sens is highly unobtrusive. Because of its small size, it exhibits an exceedingly accurate omnidirectional pattern and therefore does not need to be aimed directly at the sound source to achieve quality pickup.

Axient Digital Features
High-Performance RF
Incorporating all of the capabilities that professional productions demand, Axient Digital is designed for maximum signal stability. It features true digital diversity with Quadversity™ receiver technology, significantly mitigating the potential for signal fades or interference that can cause dropouts. Quadversity mode allows users to place sets of diversity antennas in different zones, or double the number of antennas in a single zone, to improve RF signal-to-noise in challenging environments. High Density mode increases the maximum simultaneous system channel count from 17 to 47 per 6-MHz TV band (from 23 to 63 per 8-MHz TV band), while maintaining exceptional audio quality.

Audio Quality
Featuring pristine digital audio via Dante and AES3, Axient Digital has a 20Hz to 20 kHz range with a flat frequency response and accurate transient response. Axient Digital also boasts wide dynamic range, AES-256 encryption, and an industry leading 2ms latency from the mic transducer to the analogue output.

Command and Control
Axient Digital is compatible with Wireless Workbench® as well as the ShurePlus™ Channels App for efficient control and configuration, optimal spectrum management and frequency monitoring. The system’s Dante Cue and Dante Browse features enable high fidelity headphone monitoring of audio output from any Dante-enabled connected device. Additionally, Axient Digital provides networked charging via a suite of smart, high-performance batteries and chargers.

Hardware and Scalability
Axient Digital’s wide tuning range of up to 184 MHz for all transmitters and receivers covers an extended range of spectrum and simplifies inventory. Dual and quad receiver options, combined with a common receiver platform supporting AD and ADX transmitters, maximise user flexibility and scalability.

Wide tuning range up to 184 MHz
True digital diversity reception per channel for drop-out resistance
Networked control with Wireless Workbench software and ShurePlus Channels app
Optional DC module available to support redundant power
Quadversity mode for extended antenna coverage and improved RF signal-to-noise (AD4Q only)

RF Licensing
Our radio microphones can be set to use the Shared Frequency band Channel 38 at no cost to the hirer.

Our Shure Axient Digital systems are in Band G56 – covering the range 470-636 MHz (UK TV Channels 21 – 41) and can operate on up to 17 simultaneous frequencies in Channel 38 without intermodulation. Additional systems may require a Fixed Site License which can be obtained from OFCOM.
