Shure NXN8/S Nexadyne Dynamic Vocal Microphone

The NexadyneTM 8/S Dynamic Vocal Microphone is a supercardioid dynamic microphone for professional vocal performance. Nexadyne 8 microphones feature patented Shure RevonicTM dual-engine technology, with two precisely calibrated transducers working together to achieve optimal performance. The result is a high performing microphone line that combines state-of- the-art acoustic signal processing, exceptional supercardioid polar pattern linearity, and best-in-class noise reduction. The focused and natural Nexadyne 8/S ensures that vocals cut through to the very last row. Built with the industry-standard of consistency, durability, and performance that only Shure can provide.

The focused and isolated supercardioid polar pattern of the Nexadyne 8/S ensures that vocals cut through to the very last row, while presenting midrange and low end clarity often missing from condenser microphones.

How do the Nexadyne 8/C and 8/S provide benefit to a live performance or professional production?

• Traditionally, vocalists performing live can grow accustomed to using vocal technique in limiting ways – holding back and/or pulling away from the microphone for louder projection and/or higher notes.  They adjust their performance to better optimize their amplified voice through a microphone in a wide range of applications.  
• However, the combination of mechanical and acoustic advancements of the Revonic transducer technology in Nexadyne dynamic microphones benefits all of the key figures of professional performance:
• Vocalists using Nexadyne 8 microphones immediately experience greater clarity and range of detail, enabling more control of vocal nuance and less time either holding back or pushing too hard. Additionally, the clarity provided by this configuration allows the singer's voice to be more clearly defined at typical output levels, contributing to their overall performance, and ensuring they stand out in the mix.
• For monitor engineers, who are tasked with providing custom monitor mixes for all performers, Nexadyne 8 Microphones provide a cleaner audio signal.  This allows the creation of more accurate and comfortable monitor mixes for the vocalists, ensuring they can hear themselves and the accompanying instruments clearly without interference. The improved clarity, intelligibility, and overall performance quality on stage also benefits the monitor mixes of all performers.
• The reduced noise and improved signal quality of Nexadyne 8 microphones allow the front-of-house engineer [FOH] a clearer source signal to work with during the mixing process. The linear frequency response and higher output of the microphone ensure that the FOH engineer can accurately reproduce and balance the performer's vocals in the overall sound mix with significantly less signal processing. Improved clarity and intelligibility result in a more polished sound for a better audience listening experience.
