High-definition Vocals with Rock-solid Reliability

Outfitted with Shure’s purpose-built KSM11 microphone capsule, the Axient AD2 handheld transmitter offers detailed, transparent, and natural vocal sound in any environment. It offers two operating modes to ensure stable sound regardless of your application. In particular, High Density mode maxes out the channel count for cramming more channels into crowded RF environments. You get 8+ hours of operation with AA batteries or 11+ with a Shure rechargeable lithium-ion battery (sold separately). If you’re already rocking a Shure Axient digital wireless system, help your vocalist shine with the AD2/KSM11 wireless handheld Microphone Transmitter.

KSM11 mic capsule delivers a clean and natural sound

Though the KSM11 is a newcomer to Shure’s iconic microphone collection, it sounds like a tried-and-true classic. This condenser microphone is the first Shure condenser element specifically designed for wireless applications. It effortlessly delivers a clean and transparent sound that requires little processing to shine through a mix. You’ll enjoy full-sounding lows, clear mids, and delicately detailed highs. Whether paired with a powerful female soprano or a booming male baritone, the AD2’s KSM11 microphone capsule delivers the goods every time.

Smart charging and battery life you can trust

Shure knows a wireless transmitter is only as good as its battery life. Sweetwater is excited to report that the AD2 offers stable battery life you can trust. The handheld transmitter can achieve continuous runtimes in excess of 11 hours when using a rechargeable Shure lithium-ion battery. A pair of AA batteries nets you eight hours of continuous performance. Plus, this transmitter is compatible with select Shure charging docks. The AD2/KSM11 also offers an LCD that displays how much runtime you have remaining.

Ultra-efficient transmissions

Axient digital wireless systems are known for their incredible spectral efficiency. The AD2/KSM11 handheld microphone transmitter comes with two switchable transmission modes. First, the Standard mode provides an optimized tuning range of up to 184MHz for unparalleled spectrum coverage. What about running multiple transmitters in places with a lot of RF traffic? That’s where Axient systems excel. Switch the transmitter into High Density mode, and it’ll automatically increase the channel count without sacrificing audio quality and reliability.
