Shure has released its new Axient Digital Wireless System at the 2017 NAB Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. As the new, high-end wireless solution from the company, Axient Digital builds upon the previous UHF-R, and Axient systems to create a system suitable for all professional applications and situations.
Axient Digital features a receiver that is compatible with two transmitter offerings, the AD Series and ADX Series. Axient Digital with AD Series transmitters delivers flexible RF performance, digital audio, and networking. Axient Digital ADX Series transmitters incorporate ShowLink, which provides real-time control of all transmitter parameters with interference detection and avoidance. The ADX Series also includes a micro-bodypack with an integrated self-tuning antenna, enabling greater concealment and comfort.
The Axient Digital system features the company's Quadversity technology, allowing 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 crowded RF environments. High Density mode increases the number of maximum simultaneous system channel count from 17 to 47 per 6-MHz band.
Additional features include digital audio via Dante and AES3 protocols. The Axient Digital system is compatible with Shure's Wireless Workbench interface for configuration, spectrum management, and frequency monitoring.
The AD Series will be available in late summer 2017 and the ADX Serires will be available in early 2018.
