Know before you buy
The KSM11 is a premium condenser capsule designed to provide a natural, transparent sound with excellent off-axis rejection. It is specifically engineered to minimize handling noise and plosives, making it ideal for professional vocalists in high-stakes live environments.
This transmitter is part of the Axient Digital series. It is designed to work seamlessly with Shure Axient Digital receivers, such as the AD4D or AD4Q, which support the G57 frequency band.
The transmitter features a rugged, all-metal construction built to withstand the rigors of professional touring and daily broadcast use. It is designed to handle the physical demands of frequent setup and teardown without compromising internal components.
While the nickel finish provides a distinct, professional look, the primary benefit of the AD2 housing is its robust metal chassis. This material provides superior shielding against interference and protects the internal electronics from impact.
The G57 frequency band operates within the UHF spectrum, which is standard for professional wireless audio. You should ensure that your receiver is also tuned to the G57 band to ensure compatibility and reliable signal transmission.
