Shure Expands Nexadyne™ Line with New Instrument Microphones
Shure's Nexadyne™ series with Revonic™ Technology grants musicians enhanced sound clarity while
touring
Shure has introduced an expansion to its Nexadyne™ microphone series with the release of
three new
dynamic instrument microphones. The new models include the Nexadyne 2 Kick Drum Microphone,
Nexadyne
5 Guitar Amp Microphone, and Nexadyne 6 Tom/Snare Microphone. These microphones are
engineered to
enhance sound capture and performance through the implementation of Shure's patented Revonic™
Dual-Engine Transducer Technology.
Unlike traditional instrument microphones that rely on a single transducer, the Nexadyne microphones
feature two precisely calibrated transducers that operate in tandem. This unique configuration
allows for optimised sound reproduction, offering a natural and clear output while minimising
unwanted noise and interference.
By integrating acoustic signal processing and ensuring enhanced polar pattern linearity, the
Nexadyne series produces a stronger and more accurate sound output. This innovation reduces the
necessity for post-processing equalisation (EQ) adjustments by audio engineers, allowing for a more
authentic capture of performances.
"Nexadyne Instrument mics bring Shure's revolutionary Revonic technology to more audio professionals
and performers," said Nick Wood, Senior Director, Global Marketing and Product Management, at Shure.
"Nexadyne is about capturing the essence of a performance. Now the same breakthrough dual transducer
design that powers our Nexadyne Vocal Microphones is available in three new supercardioid models
perfect for backline and instrument applications."
The Nexadyne Instrument Microphones have been designed with practical usability in mind, featuring
compact industrial aesthetics, a discreet black finish for low-profile placement, and durable
construction suited for touring and live stage environments. The microphones surpass
industry-standard durability requirements, ensuring long-term reliability for professional
applications.
Nexadyne 2 Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone
The Nexadyne 2 is designed to capture the full impact of a kick drum while maintaining clarity in
low frequencies. The microphone provides:
- A contoured EQ response tailored for low-end clarity and fullness.
- Protection against stage vibrations and rumble.
- Improved high-frequency extension for enhanced attack definition.
- A specialised swivel joint, separate from the XLR output, enabling secure placement without
straining cables.
Nexadyne 5 Dynamic Guitar Amp Microphone
Designed for electric guitar amplifiers, the Nexadyne 5 ensures precise tonal reproduction. Key
features include:
- A full-range capture of guitar tones to preserve sonic detail.
- A compact dynamic cartridge allowing for a side-address design.
- Versatile placement options, either by suspending the microphone from the amplifier or mounting
it with a conventional mic clip and stand.
Nexadyne 6 Tom/Snare Microphone
Optimised for drum kits, the Nexadyne 6 microphone is engineered to reduce bleed from other
instruments while maintaining focus on each drum hit. Features include:
- A clear high-frequency response with a flat mid-range and full low-end.
- A fixed-angle design for consistent positioning.
- A newly developed compact drum mount that minimises placement drift caused by sympathetic
vibrations.
Industry Applications and Practicality
The Nexadyne Instrument Microphones cater to a range of professional audio environments, including
live performances, recording studios, and broadcast applications. Their advanced engineering aims to
simplify the workflow for audio engineers by providing natural sound reproduction with minimal
post-processing requirements.
Additionally, the robust build quality ensures reliability in demanding touring conditions, making
these microphones an ideal choice for performers and sound professionals seeking durable and
high-performance audio solutions.
With this expansion of the Nexadyne product line, Shure continues to offer innovative microphone
technology that enhances the accuracy and quality of live and recorded sound. The inclusion of
Revonic™ technology across these new models demonstrates Shure's commitment to pushing the
boundaries of microphone engineering, ensuring that performers and engineers alike benefit from
superior audio capture solutions.
