Shure Axient Digital - The HOLY GRAIL of Wireless - Complete Overview

I’ve always been curious about this system. I mean I’ll probably never buy it, but still great info to know!! Thanks man!!

Finallyyyyy ❤❤

It's too bad you couldn't work something out with Shure specifically to do a giveaway. I suspect something like this at this value would make people come out of the woodwork to follow your channel. 😕

Great job Scott! I always learn alot from your videos 😊

I watch so many gear reviews where people say stuff like "maybe I don't know I never read the manual". In your videos it seems like you wrote the manual. Great work, as always!

100k subs by summer or I'll eat a bug 🪲
Scott, you should be a tech for some big famous band, until your band is a big famous band 🧞

Thank you for taking the time to do this reviews they’re very helpful. 🫡🎤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Sweeet! Very nice system. I used to be an engineer at Motorola for their wifi monitoring product. I have been looking forward to wifi 6 and the possibility of using your phone as a transceiver. Audiofusion has got a setup using a laptop but I hope someone comes out with a complete dedicated hardware package. It sure would drop the price of going wireless.

mate, can tou give advice aboutportable wireless system for guitar and xlr mic? for now i hve joyo 2,4 ghz for guitar and 5,8 aroma arc-1 for xlr lavalier, and its fine for most of bars and restaraunt i work, but i wanna upgrade, because im afraid rhat ONE DAY it’ll broke and i have to buy new wireless system so o wanna be prepared and asking you about it (i need system with battery or it can work from powerbank)

Very smart equipment to auto find a channel.

Awesome video! You do a great job learning the equipment you review. This system is incredible! By the way, what's the phrase to get the free giveaway? ;-)

OMG if someone would make that talkback button with some small automatic A/B switch rack unit, as a separate device for us regular earthlings, I would be soooo happy :D
Great video Scott, made me sad that I'm poor, but still well made and informative as usual ;D

Holy shit! That's a crazy system

WOW have we hit the "premium" category and a price-tag that matches. But when you're a pro and doing a big-ticket show I'm sure it's paid for fast. Stuff for us small-show giggers to drool over though! Cheers!

I've been running 12 channels of ULX-D for about 6 years. Absolutely incredible system, and we leverage the Dante features of the quad receivers with a 10G netgear AV switch that connects to a A&H SQ-6 and a recording rig. We've never had a problem with it. I used it with a Midas M32 last year (again with the Dante interface) and the experience was flawless. I'd LOVE to go the the Axient system one day -- but it doesn't make financial sense to make the jump from the ULX-D to the Axient. Thanks for the in-depth review. Keep 'em coming!

The Super Bowl is probably ALL recorded playback

SIMPLY AMAZING 🤩, GREAT JOB SCOTT AS ALWAYS! 💯

This is amazing. Always love your attention to detail. That talk back option is revolutionary!

I had been waiting for this cant wait until you get to run it with your audio technica 3000 iem sytem and network thru wireless work bench

This Shure was a good video

Asking 1/2 way in to like the vid if we are still here? Dude, I like the video then I press play 😄

But.... Daaaang, that quadversity is really cool!

You’ve outdone yourself, Scott. I feel like I’ve earned a college credit in audio engineering after watching this. Simply amazing stuff, and you make all of this technology accessible. Congrats and fine work.

Glad to see you got around to doing this video, i really enjoyed watching it.

I've learnt so much from watching your videos the last year or so, keep up the great work!!

Hey, Scott.. Great video!! I'm the RF Department manager for the largest touring sound company and I still watch your videos and learn things. I set up huge wireless systems with multiple Axient units for the largest artists on the planet and I agree with you. The Axient wireless system is as close to bulletproof as you can get. great video and keep up the good work!!

The wordclock terminator is meant to prevent any resonances happinh and messing up the takt of it. Like a dmx terminator

Scott can you do a video on the Airwave Technology 4200 series microphone kit. I keep getting adds from them but don’t see any reviews

Great video thanks !

It's the system Taylor Swift uses on the biggest tour in the world! A friend of mine works at Shure and explained her setup to me. It's incredible.

We are a Shure dealer, and this is one of the best Axient description videos I have ever seen. Bravo!

awesome video my guy!

interested in wireless work bench video. thank you for this video. its an eye opener for me.

Yes I love the 57beta I got to used it At a corporate gig when I was a guest singer with the Luke O'Neils band in the Royal Marine hotel venue ballroom and it was at the GPS convention, which Luke O'Neil was speaking at and subsequently his own band played in the evening..
I really enjoyed that gig, was a lovely evening for me.. 57beta was really very punchy with a lot of high quality frequency sparkle detail on my top end.. I particularly liked it on Radioheads Creep which I sang lead on.. I'm currently saving up for a sennheizer e945 which I think might be even more detailed and has so I've heard a good gain level off the mic?
Anyways thanks once again for a very informative and interesting video..
Kind regards Vinn 😎 🎸 👍

I mean, why not $25,000? Or $100,000? Who cares, right?

Informative and impeccably produced.

Great work. Workbench video plz

Replay! Great video as I navigate investing in (2) quads with combo transmitters per channel.

Hi Scott. Love your videos. I read the comment by @jimgould4995 about multiple Axient units. Lovely dreaming of having that.... But back to reality.... In my part of the world kit is very expensive. I have to do a production for a theatre school with 22-24 headsets on stage, and Shure/DPA etc is sadly not an option. Local rental companies also charging obscene prices for rental of kit for a 3-week run including dress rehearsals etc. So now we're looking at buying the most cost-effective kit as a long term investment. Rolls Royce kit is not required. What would your suggestion be for the wireless system (and the headsets if they are not included with the systems)? Thank you.

The Shure Axient is an excellent system. However, in terms of sound quality alone, the Sennheiser D9000 is unrivaled. It is the only one with linear PCM, while all others use some form of compression. Also, the D9000 can be used in compressed LR mode (which is basically the D6000 series, the D9000 but without the HD mode, just LR).
Additionally, I don’t understand people who use such a good system like the Axient with trash capsules like the 58. The 58 is a terrible microphone in general, maybe suitable for small gigs, but for anything else, it’s trash.
Additionally, the D9000 is an extremely expensive system. It costs over 100 000 Euros. First, you purchase the mainframe, into which components are added as needed. Also, it was released in 2010/11 and does not have all the options that the Axient offers...

Perfect. Thanks a lot!

Love your Babicz behind \m/ .

great video, peas make one about wireless workbench, you are the best

Wireless workbench vid please

Hi Scott! This was an incredible video with extreme focus on each and every minor spec. Thank you.

Nice intro to the Axient line, but you should be barely touching the front of the unit except to get it connected to a network to manage the system from Wireless Workbench. From naming channels, to scanning for available frequencies, managing transmitters, and an absolute host of other features.

Epic! Thank you!

The holy Grail is Lectrosonics, hands down! No System comes close to the audio quality of Lectrosnics. you might not like it, but it is what it is.

With today's technology, why do we still have to set Volume? By now, every decent audio system or mixer should have an auto-set feature that adjusts gain and trim automatically. I hope we see more passive automation built into live Audio soon. AI Mixing is the future.. Give it a list of prompts and it automatically tunes in your live sound and monitors and adjusts accordingly. Does anyone want to start an AI live audio company with me!! ?
