Shure has introduced the ADX5D Portable Receiver, a dual-channel, portable wireless slot receiver, for its Axient Digital Wireless System.
ADX5D brings portability to the Axient Digital for production in sports/events broadcasting, electronic newsgathering (ENG), film/episodic television, and electronic field production (EFP). The portable receiver supports the demand for a remote wireless solution.
‘We designed the ADX5D Portable Receiver to incorporate the same innovative wireless technology that Axient Digital is known for, all in a portable form factor for professionals in the field or on-the-go,’ says, Senior Wireless Category Director, Nick Wood. ‘We took the time to ensure this new addition to the Axient Digital family exceeds the rigors of everyday use and lives up to Shure’s reputation for quality that we’ve earned over the past 96 years.’
Professionals in film, TV and ENG now have access to the audio quality and RF performance that Shure offers live sound professionals. ADX5D employs high-performance RF technology, true digital diversity reception and advanced digital audio technology.
Since it was designed for professional productions that demand signal stability, ADX5D is able to support extreme wireless needs. True digital diversity technology helps mitigate the potential for signal fades or interference that can cause dropouts. Further, it also supports wide dynamic range, AES-256 encryption, and 2ms latency from the mic transducer to the analogue output. A wide tuning band ensures reliable operation in any environment.
ADX5D functions as an on-the-go wireless receiver that slot inside and connect directly to the audio inputs of a professional broadcast camera. The portability also provides convenience and flexibility for film and TV sound mixers who often have discrete powering, audio routing, and/or RF-distributing gear in their portable recording bags.
Today’s production crews may be limited in the number of people who are onsite, requiring talent, camera operators and others to have real-time, easy-to-operate wireless audio solutions. ADX5D incorporates ShowLink, which is unique to Axient Digital, and allows for real-time control of all transmitter parameters, interference detection, and avoidance. ShowLink makes it easier to use back-up frequencies and provide remote control directly to the linked transmitters. Compatibility with Wireless Workbench supports efficient control and configuration, optimal spectrum management, and frequency coordination.
ADX5D fits into the entire Axient Digital ecosystem of hardware and software solutions from Shure, complementing the existing AXT600 Spectrum Manager, Wireless Workbench and Axient Digital transmitters, including ADX1M Micro Bodypack.
