Meet the new Nexadyne microphones

Shure has always been synonymous with top-tier microphone technology. Few vocalists haven't encountered an SM58, BETA58A, SM7B, KSM9, or another of Shure's classics, and there's hardly a brand that has as many 'industry standards' in its lineup.

Revonic Dual-Engine Transducer Technology

What's revolutionary about Nexadyne is Shure's new "Revonic Dual-Engine Transducer Technology." It's a system where the Nexadyne microphone houses two completely separate microphone capsules designed to work together - that is, two sets of diaphragms, magnets, and voice coils working in tandem. There are no settings where you choose which capsule is active - they're always both in play and work in concert.

Improved sound with less processing

If you've worked with a vocal microphone live, you know that it's necessary to process the signal with an EQ to remove problematic frequencies and bring out the best in the voice. Nexadyne's two separate capsules are designed to work together and create what's called 'acoustic processing'. This means they're designed to naturally produce a microphone signal that's clearer and requires less EQ. That way, you have much easier time getting the vocals to reach every corner of the room when you're performing.

The two Nexadyne versions

Nexadyne comes in two basic versions, where the only difference is the pattern. Nexadyne 8/C has a cardioid pattern, while Nexadyne 8/S is a supercardioid. In practice, this means that the 8/S version captures in a narrower area in front of the microphone and also picks up a little sound behind the microphone, which can be an advantage on smaller stages or in noisy environments. It's comparable to the classics SM58 and BETA58A, where SM58 has a cardioid pattern and BETA58A has a supercardioid pattern.

Upgrade your wireless system

If you're using a wireless system from Shure with interchangeable microphone capsules, you can also easily switch to Nexadyne. You can choose between the cardioid and supercardioid versions, both available in black and nickel finishes:

RPW200: Nexadyne 8/C with cardioid pattern (black)
RPW202: Nexadyne 8/C with cardioid pattern (nickel)
RPW204: Nexadyne 8/S with supercardioid pattern (black)
RPW206: Nexadyne 8/S with supercardioid pattern (nickel)

So it's easy to upgrade your wireless system, such as Shure SLXD or Shure QLXD, with a Nexadyne capsule.

Is Nexadyne right for you?

It's rare to call a dynamic microphone groundbreaking - after all, it's a technology that's been around for almost 100 years. But Shure has thought outside the box and created a microphone that makes it easier for vocalists to shine on stage - and it just sounds really good! It's easy to say 'clear and distinct' about a microphone, but for Nexadyne, it's more than empty adjectives - here you actually get a microphone that delivers something beyond the ordinary, and if you're missing clarity in your vocals, you should definitely try a Nexadyne at your next concert!!
