Shure Nexadyne 8 Overview

A Supercardioid Dynamic Mic Engineered for Live Vocals
Specifically developed to provide live stage performers with a clear, detailed vocal sound that rivals studio mics, the black Nexadyne 8/S from Shure is a supercardioid dynamic vocal microphone featuring an innovative Revonic dual-transducer design that uses two separate, but interdependent sets of diaphragms, voice coils, and magnets. This unique technology yeilds a dynamic mic with a condenser-like clarity and a crisp, yet natural high-end response with plenty of detail—allowing vocalists to worry less about mic technique and instead focus on delivering powerful performances. 

The narrow supercardioid polar pattern provides tightly focused audio capture centered on the performer directly in front of the mic, reducing bleed from off-axis sources and delivering a clearer sound with substantially less feedback issues from stage monitors and sound reinforcement equipment. The microphone features a die-cast aluminum chassis, while the element is protected by a dent-resistant grille, ensuring it survives the rigors of daily stage use. The Nexadyne 8/S features a standard XLR connector and requires no power for operation. A mic clip, brass thread adapter, and a zippered case are supplied.

Revonic Dual-Engine Transducer Technology
  • Shure's Revonic system is an innovative dynamic microphone design that uses two matched dynamic transducers, working in conjunction, to provide more opportunity for both greater sound quality and the rejection of unwanted signal.
  • Wiring the transducers out-of-phase cancels mechanical vibration, so self-noise is actively zeroed out. This makes traditional pneumatic shockmounts unnecessary and allows the transducers to be optimized for acoustic performance.
  • Vocal performers will experience natural and vivid clarity when performing—enabled by a cartridge design that optimizes signal output acoustically, producing more of the desired sound source and less environmental and handling noise.
  • Engineers will receive stronger and clearer output, resulting in fewer EQ corrections that are often necessary with other mics to retain vocal clarity within the mix.

The Shure Nexadyne 8/S Super Cardioid microphone was specifically purchased for live performances. Many unprofessional users need to be able to use the microphone in locations that are less than ideal. Loudspeaker placement is often close and prone to feedback with most microphones. Also, most people move their hands around because they are nervous. This microphone has very low handling noise for the amateur user. I give three instructions to users: 1) point it at your mouth. 2) speak clearly. 3) drop it and you just bought a broken microphone! The higher price is concerning but the results are worth it. I don't have to use the feedback processor as it rejects off axis sound very well--unless you point the microphone directly into the speaker! It has very low proximity effect which keeps booming bass out of the loudspeakers. So close mouthing the mic is not a problem. I do use a foam wind screen to help Pops and Snakes issues. Speaking clearly and deliberately helps most people sound like professionals. The biggest mistake most amateurs do with this microphone is think they can use it like an omni mic and hold it at their chest or well below their mouth. You must address this microphone straight on (or very slightly off axis) to have the best results at feedback rejection and best gain. You can ride the gain up very high if the presenter lets their voice go quiet. We all get a little shy in front of a microphone and I'm able to save many performances because you can ride the gain up so the audience can hear. That is the reason there is a microphone at the event. Follow my three rules and I can get pretty much any amateur through their talk. This microphone makes my life easier at live performances. I do very occasional voice recordings and it works well. I like people to hold the microphone as they can keep a consistent distance and angle better than on a mic stand. An SM58 cardioid is perfect for mic stands and people that turn their heads while speaking. This super cardioid it perfect for hand held, lave performances. I wish the body of the microphone was about 2 inches longer. My hands are large and my natural hold on the mic always has my pinky and ring finger down at the xlr connector. My ring has a tendency to make a tap sound if I move my fingers too much. Watch for rings as that metal-on-metal contact will be unwanted noise.
