Shure Axient AD4DE-A Dual AD (470-636MHz)

Thanks to its revolutionary digital transmission mode, the spectral efficiency of the Axient Digital system allows for 23 channels per 8 MHz TV channel or up to 63 channels in high-density mode, satisfying ever-increasing frequency requirements.

Articulated around a common platform comprising an AD4D two-channel receiver and an AD4Q four-channel receiver, Axient Digital is offered with two transmitter families the AD series naturally replacing the UHF-Rs and the ADX series incorporating all of the innovative technology and features of the Axient analog system.

With its very wide switching band, identical for both transmitters and receivers, Axient Digital facilitates fleet management and frequency coordination on tour.

The Axient Digital system is compatible with the Axient AXT600 Spectrum Manager, and with most existing Shure accessories.

Because of its scalable nature, the Axient Digital series provides a true answer to today's constraints and tomorrow's requirements.
