Shure Nexadyne: The Top Choice for Musicians | Full Review

[@paulmapp8306]

Have they fixed the lack of air in their mics? My biggest issue with 58s, 57s and even the KSM8 is the lack of air. Makes them sound rather box'y and shouty to me. Ive always prefered Beyers and Sennheisers (though they go too far often) because of this.

Agree with you 100% I have the same preferences as you for the sennies and beyers. Collected them sennheisers (evolution, MD 435/445 & condenser e965) and beyers (tg v70 & m88- also another high calibre mic)and i must say i love them all! Was skeptical about the nexadyne initially but i bought the nx 8s (i did had a ksm 8 as well) and everything i disliked about the ksm8 wasnt present at all in the nx8s! The nexadyne is worth the buy, although it cannot compete with sennheiser md 445/435, it is a high quality dynamic with a wide frequency response and clarity close to a condenser. It seems like a good improvement over the ksm8. And yes, The ksm8 does have a certain box’y/shout’y sound to it which may appeal to some though. I believe they may have realized alot had to be improved about the ksm8 and now we have a new revonic technology which is something that will please shure users.

I was expecting the same drum part compared to for example a 58

"Two precisely matched elements" that are acoustically and electrically co-phased begs the question of how Nexadyne performance will drift and degrade over time as the elements shift in their mounts and age over years of use and abuse. It's a complex mic and obviously not inexpensive to produce. While I'm sure that Shure took time with their early prototypes and beta testers to optimise all of this, there is really no way to tell how well Nexadyne will actually perform without a few years use by the community. The Dualdyne has been out for quite a while but has not become THE "go-to" mic for stage, studio, or broadcast, so the in-practice advantages of the Nexadyne may or may not support its price and complexity premium over the SM57/58 and Beta 57/58. Certainly the high price tag will slow broad adoption. Any improvements it yields will need to be dramatic and obvious to make it very popular. I have high hopes - but only time will tell.

I want to sing in a wide angle but less feedback, so 8C or 8S?

Hello, if you sing at an angle, go with the 8C. It will pick up your voice better. However, both mics have good off-axis rejection.
