Shure is claiming to have lifted the curtain on ‘a new era of vocal precision’ with the launch of the Nexadyne dynamic microphone platform with Shure Revonic Dual Transducer Technology.
Offered in cardioid and supercardioid polar patterns, Nexadyne vocal microphones promise unparalleled noise reduction and best-in-class professional touring performance. ‘Nexadyne is the next chapter of Shure’s storied history as the leader and innovator in dynamic microphone technology,’ says Shure Senior Director of Professional Audio Products, Nick Wood. ‘With built-in acoustic signal processing, the Nexadyne platform ushers in a new era of modern live performance that engineers and vocalists can trust on stage night after night.’
To deliver these revolutionary benefits, the Nexadyne platform is built on Shure’s patented Revonic Dual Transducer Technology, which minimises the amount of time and effort required by sound engineers to optimise performers’ live vocals.
Most dynamic microphones are designed with only one transducer, the part of the microphone that converts sound into an electrical signal. Breaking from the mould, Shure’s innovative Revonic Technology implements two precisely matched transducers. These work together to provide a greater range of acoustic optimisation, maximising specific frequencies and minimising unwanted noise, especially handling noise and mechanical vibration. This built-in signal processing delivers a stronger output than traditional single transducer designs, while subsequently removing the need for a traditional pneumatic shock mount and time-consuming, corrective audio editing.
‘Implementing the benefits of perfectly matched transducers requires thorough attention to detail throughout the manufacturing process,’ the company says. ‘By maintaining and surpassing the highest, stage-tested standards for every Nexadyne microphone, Shure has guaranteed optimum manufacturability for consistent performance.’
For engineers, Nexadyne vocal microphones achieve improved signal quality, delivering a clearer source signal to work with during the mixing process. The higher output of the microphone ensures engineers can accurately reproduce and balance the performer’s vocals in the overall mix with significantly less corrective audio processing. Vocalists using Nexadyne microphones will experience greater clarity and range of detail, which allow greater control of vocal nuance and less time either holding back or pushing the voice too hard, regardless of venue size.
Nexadyne dynamic vocal XLR microphones and wireless capsules are available now, prices at £329/€379/US$299 in both cardioid (NXN8/C) and supercardioid (NXN8/S) polar patterns via the Shure.com website and at select retailers. Nexadyne capsules will be available bundled with Shure’s industry-leading digital wireless ecosystems starting this summer, including Axient Digital, ULX-D, QLX-D, and SLX-D. Nexadyne wired microphones are available in black. Wireless capsules of Nexadyne are available in both black and nickel finishes.
