Shure Launches New Nexadyne Instrument Microphones at NAMM 2025

Shure announced the expansion of its Nexadyne product line with the introduction of three all-new dynamic instrument microphones: the Nexadyne 2 Kick Drum Microphone, Nexadyne 5 Guitar Amp Microphone, and Nexadyne 6 Tom/Snare Microphone. Each Nexadyne microphone boasts Shure’s patented Revonic Dual-Engine transducer technology, which combines two transducers to capture and reject unwanted noise, allowing greater control of the microphone’s acoustic response. 
 
While typical instrument microphones use a single transducer, Nexadyne microphones feature two precisely calibrated transducers working together to achieve optimal performance that delivers natural, authentic clarity while minimizing unwanted noise. Whereas the upper engine can capture the signal with improved clarity and isolation, adding the second active engine gives Shure engineers precise control of the mic’s frequency response, polar pattern consistency, and vibration cancellation. Nexadyne’s combination of acoustic signal processing and exceptional polar pattern linearity, enables the microphone line to deliver a stronger and clearer output. This output is more authentic to the performer and reduces audio engineers’ need to apply typical EQ corrections. 
“Nexadyne Instrument mics bring Shure’s revolutionary Revonic technology to more audio professionals and performers,” says Nick Wood, Senior Director, Global Marketing and Product Management, at Shure. “Nexadyne is about capturing the essence of a performance. Now the same breakthrough dual transducer design that powers our Nexadyne Vocal Microphones is available in three new supercardioid models perfect for backline and instrument applications.”

Featuring compact industrial designs and a discreet, black finish for low-profile visibility, Shure designed these new Nexadyne Instrument Microphones to provide exceptional sound quality, industry-leading durability, and stage-friendly functionality. Designed for the kick-drum, the Nexadyne 2 delivers true, low-end clarity and fullness, with contoured EQ, protection from stage rumble, and improved high-frequency extension and attack definition. The microphone is designed with its swivel joint separated from the XLR output source for secure placement without strain on output cables.

Optimized to capture the full detail and power of the amplified guitar tone, the Nexadyne 5 ensures the full range sound is captured and ready for the mix every time. The incredibly small dynamic cartridge design enables a side-address form factor for improved placement. It can be positioned by hanging off any amp or used with a standard mic clip and stand.  For the tom/snare positions in the drumset, minimizing bleed, the Nexadyne 6 ensures every drum hit cuts, with a clear high-frequency response, extremely flat mid-range, and full low-end. The form factor features a unique fixed angle design and a new, smaller drum mount to reduce potential placement drift from sympathetic vibration. The Nexadyne 2 and Nexadyne 6 will be available for $249 USD each. The Nexadyne 5 will be available for $219 USD. Each microphone includes a zippered bag and brass adapter. The Nexadyne 5 includes the A25E mic clip and the Nexadyne 6 includes the A6D Drum Mount. The Nexadyne 6 Tom/Snare Microphone is available in a 3-pack for $649 USD.

Nexadyne Instrument Microphones will be available for purchase from February 2025 and will be on display at the Shure Booth (#15608) at NAMM 2025.
