We’re excited to share that Synergetic has just added the Shure Axient Digital PSM system to our in-ear monitoring gear arsenal. Here’s why it’s a game-changer compared to the older analog PSM — and how it helps you avoid monitoring mishaps:
1. We’ve Got Them!
Our inventory now includes the full Shure Axient Digital PSM setup — top-tier transmitters and bodypack receivers — ready to enhance performances with crystal-clear sound and rock‑solid RF reliability.
2. Why It’s Better Than the Analog PSM‑1000
Feature | Analog PSM‑1000 | Axient Digital PSM |
---|---|---|
Audio Quality | Good, but prone to RF noise | Pure digital clarity, lower noise floor |
RF Reliability | Single-frequency prone to dropout | WMAS & spatial/frequency diversity for resilient signal |
Latency | ~1.29 ms (FM), decent for live | Digital under 2.9 ms — virtually imperceptible |
Channel Capacity | One channel per unit | Multiple channels per frequency block via WMAS |
3. What Problems It Helps Us Avoid
By upgrading to Axient Digital, we’re protecting your performance from real-world monitoring issues:
-
RF dropouts? Eliminated with spatial and frequency diversity.
-
Crowded wireless spectrum? WMAS helps compress more channels cleanly.
-
Audio hiss and interference? Digital transmission keeps sound pristine.
-
Latency lag? Under 3 ms latency means seamless cues, no delay.
-
On-site emergencies? Remote monitoring/control via ShowLink saves the day.
What is ShowLink?
ShowLink is Shure’s proprietary wireless network that allows real-time remote control of Axient Digital devices during a live show. In other words: you can actively monitor and make adjustments to a performer’s in-ear monitor mix or bodypack settings without ever touching the pack — and without interrupting their performance.
Why It Matters
Picture this: You’re mid-show. The performer is live on stage. Something changes—maybe they need a volume bump, a different mix, or there’s RF interference you want to avoid. With traditional analog systems or even most digital ones, you’re stuck. The performer would have to come over to the monitor engineer, take out the pack, change the frequency and then go back to the stage. But with ShowLink, that never has to happen again. Here’s what we can do on the fly from our front-of-house position or RF world:
-
Change frequencies instantly if there’s interference
-
Adjust gain or EQ on the bodypack
-
Mute/unmute or switch channels
-
Monitor battery life and RF signal strength in real-time
-
Fix issues live, without panic or stage interruption
It’s like having a remote control for every pack on stage — and trust us, in the heat of a high-profile event, that’s a lifesaver.
Real-World Example
Let’s say a lead vocalist starts walking into a part of the venue with higher interference. Instead of hoping for the best or waiting for a dropout, we can proactively switch them to a clean frequency mid-performance — and they won’t even know it happened. That’s the power of ShowLink.
