Know before you buy
The ADX1M is significantly smaller and built from durable Ultem® PEI, making it ideal for theater or broadcast applications where concealment is a priority. It also features ShowLink technology, which allows for real-time remote control of transmitter settings from the receiver.
The ADX1M is specifically designed for use with the Shure Axient Digital ecosystem. It is not compatible with older analog or non-Axient digital wireless systems.
The internal antenna automatically optimizes its signal based on the transmitter's position and environment. This design eliminates the need for external whip antennas, which can be fragile or get in the way during active performances.
No, the ADX1M is a bodypack transmitter only. It uses a LEMO3 connector, so you will need to pair it with a compatible lavalier or headset microphone that features a matching LEMO3 termination.
The SB910M rechargeable battery provides up to 7 hours of continuous runtime. Because it is a rechargeable system, you can monitor the exact remaining battery life in hours and minutes directly on the transmitter's OLED display.
High Density mode allows you to operate significantly more transmitters within the same frequency space compared to Standard mode. This is essential for large-scale productions or events with high channel counts where RF spectrum is limited.
