About the Shure ADTD Axient Digital Dual-Channel Wireless IEM Transmitter
The Shure ADTD Axient Digital Dual-Channel Wireless IEM Transmitter is a flagship, high-density transmitter designed for professional wireless in-ear monitoring (IEM) systems, offering unparalleled audio quality, RF robustness, and networkability for the most demanding live performance and broadcast applications. This unit enables the transmission of two completely independent, high-fidelity stereo mixes to two separate artists or groups of artists simultaneously, all within a single 1RU rack space. Leveraging Shure's Axient Digital wireless technology, it delivers exceptionally clear, low-latency digital audio with a wide dynamic range, ensuring that performers receive a precise, reliable monitor mix that feels immediate and natural. The transmitter operates within a flexible frequency range and incorporates Shure's advanced RF management tools, including ShowLink remote control and integrated spectrum analysis, to maintain a stable link even in the most congested RF environments.
A cornerstone of the ADTD's capability is its sophisticated networking and control ecosystem. It features dual Ethernet ports for primary and backup connection to a network, enabling remote control, monitoring, and configuration via Shure's Wireless Workbench software. This allows monitor engineers to adjust mixes, power levels, and frequency coordination from a laptop anywhere on the network, dramatically simplifying the management of large, multi-channel IEM systems. The transmitter also supports AES67 and Dante digital audio networking, allowing it to receive stereo audio feeds directly from a digital mixing console over a standard Ethernet cable, eliminating analog cabling and preserving pristine audio quality from the console to the performer's ears. The front-panel color touchscreen provides intuitive access to all critical parameters and real-time status of both channels.
Built for mission-critical reliability, the ADTD features a robust metal chassis, dual redundant and hot-swappable power supplies, and comprehensive alarm systems to alert engineers of any issues. Its dual-transmitter design not only saves rack space but also reduces system complexity and power consumption compared to using two separate single-channel units. For touring monitor engineers and large-scale fixed installations where absolute audio fidelity, RF stability, and centralized control are non-negotiable, the Shure ADTD Axient Digital Dual-Channel IEM Transmitter represents the pinnacle of wireless monitoring technology, providing a scalable and future-proof solution for elite performers.
