The Shure AXT200/B87A is a high-performance handheld wireless transmitter that integrates Shure's premium Beta 87A condenser microphone capsule into the advanced Axient Digital wireless platform. This combination is engineered for the most demanding professional vocal applications in touring, broadcast, and major live events where absolute audio quality and wireless reliability are non-negotiable. The Beta 87A capsule is a true condenser microphone renowned for its supercardioid polar pattern, which provides exceptional gain before feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound compared to a standard cardioid. Its sonic signature is characterized by a bright, articulate presence with a pronounced upper midrange boost that ensures vocal clarity and cut-through in dense mixes, along with a controlled low-end response to minimize proximity effect.

The AXT200 transmitter body represents the forefront of wireless technology, offering pristine 24-bit/48 kHz digital audio transmission within the robust Axient Digital ecosystem. The system provides unparalleled spectrum management tools, including ShowLink remote control for real-time frequency switching and advanced interference detection and avoidance. The transmitter features a high-contrast OLED display that provides detailed real-time information on frequency, RF and audio levels, precise battery runtime, and system status. It is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (SB900) offering extended life and features Shure's optional AES-256 bit encryption for secure audio transmission in sensitive environments.

As a core component of a networked Axient system, this handheld transmitter can be fully monitored and controlled via Shure's Wireless Workbench software. This allows for centralized frequency coordination across large deployments, remote adjustment of transmitter parameters, and detailed system health monitoring. The rugged, ergonomic design ensures durability and comfortable handling. The Shure AXT200/B87A represents the pinnacle of integrated wireless vocal technology, delivering the proven sonic performance of the Beta 87A capsule with the uncompromising RF stability, digital clarity, and intelligent management of the Axient Digital platform, making it the ultimate choice for lead vocalists and broadcast talent.
