Shure has expanded its Axient Digital Wireless System with the introduction of the Axient Digital AD3 Plug-On Transmitter, allowing any microphone with an XLR connector be used as an Axient Digital wireless microphone.

For high-tier broadcast, film and TV applications that require a flexible connection to a wired microphone, the AD3 transmitter’s a plug-on design, high-performance radio and spectral efficiency make it useful for sideline reporting, street interviews and press conferences. Additionally, the AD3 can easily connect to a shotgun microphone on a boom pole for portability on film and TV sets. The AD3 is compatible with Axient Digital AD4D and AD4Q rack receivers in Standard or High Density modes.

‘Broadcast networks, stadiums, conference centers, theaters, and performance halls depend on Axient Digital, and that capability is now expanded with the launch of AD3,’ says Shure Senior Category Director of Wireless Products, Nick Wood. ‘The plug-on transmitter enables field reporters, audio professionals, and on-set sound engineers access to a rock-solid portable audio solution that perfectly complements the power of Axient Digital. Audio professionals are going to want to have these transmitters in their kits.’

The AD3 includes a ‘locked’ XLR connector design, a user-friendly control menu, OLED display that is easy to read in challenging lighting conditions, and a sweat, moisture, and debris resistant build. The transmitter also includes a pouch, belt clip, USB-C cable, and supports both conventional AA and Shure SB900A rechargeable battery options.
