This ensures performers can move freely without dropouts or interference, even during high-energy performances.
  • Encrypted transmission for privacy and security: Integrated encryption protects sensitive audio content during wireless transmission, giving you peace of mind when delivering confidential material or high-stakes performances in live environments.
  • Rugged, field-tested durability: Built with a precision-machined metal housing designed to endure touring, frequent handling, and the daily rigors of live sound, ensuring consistent performance night after night in demanding venues.

How to Install Shure AD2 Digital Wireless Handheld Transmitter

Prepare your system: Ensure you have a matching AD Series receiver powered on and within range of your performance area. Before use, verify that the AD2 is equipped with the Beta 87A microphone cartridge and is configured for the desired vocal application. Choose the appropriate power option for your performance, whether AA alkaline batteries or the SB900A rechargeable battery with the docking charger. Power on both the receiver and the transmitter, and confirm that the transmitter is in a suitable mode (Wide Tuning or High-Density) for your venue’s RF environment. Use the receiver’s synchronization feature to pair the AD2 to a free channel, or manually align frequencies if needed. Once linked, perform a quick soundcheck to confirm signal integrity, proper gain structure, and clear vocal tone. If you’re using the SB900A rechargeable battery, place the battery on its charger during breaks to ensure uninterrupted operation through back-to-back performances. Finally, route the audio to your mixer or console, monitor the RF signal, and adjust mic levels as required to achieve consistent, professional results during your show.
