Shure Axient Digital PSM Advanced Digital In-Ear Monitor System

Powered by Shure WMAS innovation, Axient Digital PSM Advanced Digital In-Ear Monitor System is a high-performance, state-of-the-art in-ear monitoring system that redefines the audio experience for professional audio engineers, musicians, and performers alike. It has been meticulously developed to deliver the highest levels of RF performance, audio quality, scalability, flexibility, and low latency. With its various transmission modes engineers can be more creative than ever while ensuring the best use of spectrum and rock-solid reliability. This versatility makes it ideal for live events, tours, broadcast productions, and other professional audio setups where both high performance and streamlined workflows are critical.

• Four different transmission modes to choose from:
• Multi-channel Wideband (WMAS innovation1) supports up to 28 channels per 6 MHz in the US and 40 channels per 8 MHZ in Europe.
• Narrowband – More RF output power for greater range with this traditional option.
• Analog FM – Ultra-low latency performance with updated hybrid technology
• Axient Digital Standard2 – Turn the ADTQ and ADTD into an AD series Axient Digital transmitter and send high-quality, long-distance wireless audio to any Axient Digital wireless receiver.

A key feature of the Axient Digital PSM is Spatial Diversity (developed by Shure) which employs two transmit diversity antennas, each sending a signal on the same frequency, providing engineers with a new, easier option for supporting separate zones and optimizing coverage for stadiums, indoor venues and broadcast studios.
