Shure AD2/Audix OM5/SoundTools Axient Digital Wireless Microphone (G57 Band) - Like New/Unused/NOS

This listing is for one like-new/unused/NOS Shure AD2 Axient Digital Handheld Wireless Transmitter + Audix OM5 Microphone Capsule + SoundTools/Rat Sound Au-Sh Adapter. These units were originally purchased as backups, but never ended up getting used. They have since been preserved in a climate-controlled storage unit. The Shure microphones were originally AD2/SM58's, but the capsules were immediately replaced with Audix OM5's. Other than opening the box to install the adapters and the Audix capsules, everything is in the same condition as it would be if purchased brand new. Both the Audix wireless microphone capsules and the Soundtools adapters have been out of production for well over a decade. Both of these items are extremely rare, and nearly impossible to find in this unused condition. This package includes the following items: • (1) Shure AD2 Handheld Transmitter (G57 Band: 470-616 MHz) • (1) Audix OM5 Wireless Microphone Capsule • (1) SoundTools/Rat Sound Au-Sh (Audix to Shure Wireless Mic Adapter) • (1) Shure Microphone clip • (1) Battery contact cover • (2) AA Batteries (Alkaline) • (1) Zipper Bag (for storage and protection) • (1) User Guide & Warranty Paperwork We have a total of three Audix OM5's and two Audix OM6's for sale (all complete AD2 packages).

ABOUT: The Shure AD2 is a digital handheld wireless microphone transmitter designed for use with Axient Digital wireless systems. It delivers high-quality audio and robust RF performance, making it ideal for professional live sound, broadcast, and installed applications. The unit features a durable cast aluminum housing, interchangeable microphone capsules, and advanced digital encryption. The AD2 operates within a wide UHF tuning range of up to 184 MHz, allowing for flexible frequency allocation. It supports two distinct transmission modes: Standard Mode for optimal coverage and High Density Mode, which maximizes system channel count and spectral efficiency in crowded RF environments. Security is ensured through AES 256-bit encryption, which prevents unauthorized interception of the audio signal. The transmitter includes a backlit LCD for easy menu navigation and status monitoring. A unique feature is the automatic gain adjustment, which helps optimize input levels without manual intervention. The power switch doubles as a mute button, maintaining RF lock even when the audio is muted. Users can also lock the interface controls to prevent accidental changes during performances.
