The Shure NXN2 kick drum microphone is poised to change how you mic and hear your kick drums on the stage. The secret? Shure's patented Revonic dual-engine transducer technology. This inventive technology utilizes two precisely matched transducers that work together to achieve optimal performance by providing a greater range of acoustic optimization, maximizing specific frequencies, and minimizing handling noise and mechanical vibration. The integrated signal processing of the NXN2 produces a stronger output than traditional single transducer designs, thus eliminating the need for a traditional shockmount and corrective audio editing. It all equates to an ingeniously designed microphone that has fascinated both Sweetwater drummers and live sound engineers alike!
